I just had my 3rd day completely free of smoking synthetic weed.
I feel great that i've been able to finally face my problem and quit but by god you do not want to have to come of this synthetic stuff. You cannot even compare the symptoms.
This morning i woke up really early and cudn't get back to sleep, i had a fever and i was Vomiting every 10 minutes for the first 2 hours. luckily the effects only lasted about 8 hours and then they were gone but it really was bloody terrible. Not worth smoking the stuff JUST for the withdrawal symptoms.
This is a warning to all don't be tempted by the legality and availability of this stuff, stick with real weed, this synthetic stuff is awful poison that will mess you up bad. I'm just glad i've only been smoking it heavily for 2 years, if i had smoked it much longer, I think i would have had a depressive breakdown and ended up in therapy.
In addition to the horrible symptoms i had this morning i also have absolutely 0 appetite, in fact strangely food even repulses me now. I guess it has something to do with always having the munchies and now my body isn't sure when its really hungry, i literally have to force food down my throat. I also find it very hard to sleep now, i was always so drowsy before that it is now difficult not to feel extremely active in bed.
It was a bad bad day, but i did manage to get a few things done that i've been needing to do for a while. I hope now the worst of it is over and i will be able to feel relatively normal again soon.

Good luck to you, the board is kinda slow right now, but I'm here. I had a small relapse last Sunday and smoked about a dime with my husband, so I'm an official week in, but more like two as I didn't go back to constant usage. I'm in the mental game. Hope your symptoms have subsided.
Thankfully the worst of the symptoms have subsided now and i've had a big resolve so i don't even have any craving at the moment, in fact just the thought of that stuff makes me sick at the moment. i dont fancy going through that again, was one of the worst experiences of my life.
I went to the Salvation Army today because i was feeling really depressed and emotionally confused, i got to briefly talk to a counselor and I realized that the reason i was smoking was definitely to block much deeper rooted issues. Now i've accepted this I can deal with these issues and I no longer desire to get high all the time.
I really didn't think i needed to speak to a counselor but it turns out i definitely have unresolved issues which i needed to speak to someone confidentially about.
So i encourage anyone reading this now, if you have been struggling with addiction it may be more than chemicals and habits causing it, see a counselor and check out that its not something deeper causing you to want to hide away behind the haze.
I had a weak day and might have used if I could have got a hold of it, glad I closed those doors. Maybe not tight enough, but for now it's going good.
The 1st night my body sweated out thc toxins that soaked my blanket and pillow like a menopausal woman. Sleeping has been a challenge but other times have been much worse than this. I dont need as much sleep as I did when I was a smoker so I dont worry so much about sleeplessness. It will balance out
I have tried that fake stuff a couple times and lucky I didnt get those horrible reactions many people have reported.
I am soooo greatful and proud of you all
