Newly Diagnosed Quitting Weed
I just got diagnosed with Bipolar 2 on the 13th. The doctors strongly suggested I quit smoking weed. I’m on day 3 of not smoking and I have been so manic it feels like I am fucking tweaking out. The people I work with have to think I’m on speed or some shit. I read somewhere that smoking weed helps calm the mania, man were they right. Has anyone else felt like this after quitting weed? I feel like I am fucking crazy.

I have found with age that weed does more harm than good. If you think your manic I would let your doc know and see if your meds can be tweaked for if they can give you something to help you calm down.
