Default Drug habbit and insomnia

These past few month ive been experiencing insomnia just at random night. i really dident think nothing about it untill my brother told me that i talk scream, twitch in my sleep....this started right after i quit smokeing cigarettes and weed(who know what else was laced in it).I wake up around 3:00am tossing and turning on the floor for 45 minutes,then i wake up again but this time my shirt is off, this happend last night i dont remember takeing it off. then i wake up again around 5 and my eyes feel heavy like i dident get any sleep.


then in the mornings i wake up feeling like **** lazy and tired. i think its due to the nicotine withdraw and other stuff.some night are okay and some are bad. the screaming in the night is really freaking me out i dont remember doing that but whatever. just wondering if anyone has ever gone threw this after quiting cigarettes and weed.

Quiting cigarettes is one of the hardest addictions in the world to break. I'm not sure if insomnia is a side effect of quiting but wouldn't surprise me if it was. Your brain is going through a big change because of the withdrawal. If it's messing up your day to day life, go to your doctor. Actually, go to your doctor anyways, he/she might have something to help you.

quitting smoking is ridiculously hard. ive smoked since i was 16 and have quit for a few months on a couple of occasions n i would have dreams where i smoked and would wake up thinking i had smoked and in a bad mood even though i hadnt. i also had a lot of trouble getting to sleep at night as well.. coincidentally i was prescribed wellbutrin for depression and it really helped with not smoking. i read that it is used to help smoking cessation but i stopped taking them cuz they do tend to keep you up at night. sorry i wish my experience was more helpful but all i can say is that the longer its been since your last cigarette, the easier it is.

as for the weed, that also can make it harder to fall asleep. weed has always made falling asleep a piece of cake so it might take your body a little while to adjust. good luck!

I read the title as "Drug Hobbit and Insomnia." I found it amusing.

I'm an ex-pothead. In my experience weed is never laced with anything. WHy would a dealer deliberately make less profit?

Weed is very easy to quit.

I have been using drugs for 5 years straight (since i was 14). Been mainly hooked on pot, cigarettes and dope(oxys, heroin, recent habit in past year)and quitting after nearly daily use for such a long time is so agonizing. Sleeping at night would be hard, i'd be sweating, body would ache, I'd argue with people I live with, I'd isolate myself...cry a lot. I relapsed a lot, on my longest streak of not using now though and it's still agonizing. I'm not gonna start again, came too far.

its the cigs not the weed. weed very rarely has withdrawal symptons. You have to be a super heavy smoker and the worst thing that can happen is maybe a cold, deff. nothing what you described

actually i never got my pot stright from the dealers, i was to nervous and shy to ask the person, my friend was the one who provided me with it.The very last time i smoked pot i had a bad trip my heart was beating so rapidly and my mouth was geting very dry, i thought i was going to die i was seriously rdy to call 911, thats the main reason i quit smokeing.it was later that my friend told me that the weed was laced with speed.
