hi guys, just wanted to see if this is normal and how long it should take to improve:
I smoked weed every evening + most afternoons for about a year, partially so that I could cope with some side effects of a prescription medication for adhd. About 2 weeks ago, I finally decided enough was enough because it was really fucking me up and I realised that my life had been much worse since starting smoking. I quit, and felt amazing. I had a couple rough nights of not much sleep, boring hangouts with friends who were smoking but I wasn't, but I had way more energy, passion, focus and a better outlook on life. I noticed that about a week after quitting, I started to get some pretty rough diarrhoea, which is slowly improving. I thought that I had gotten away with minimal withdrawals. Now, about 2 weeks later, I am starting to get anxiety. I get that weird feeling that I am a bit of a pain, for example, I just got home after getting a lift from my mate, but the whole time I felt like he was annoyed at me for driving, even though I know he wasn't because he offered the lift to me. Every time I have a social interaction with someone that I don't know too well, I get a really really intense, cringe/anxiety feeling. I saw my mates older brother earlier, we just said hi and how are you, then when I was walking away, I felt like I needed to run away. I felt like I was really weird and awkward, even though I was super nice and he was too. I keep getting this. Every small, insignificant social interaction results in me replaying the situation in my head, making sure that every single word was normal. And it generally is a completely normal and forgettable interaction. I just have this feeling that something is not right, but when I think of what is wrong, I cannot actually come up with anything.

I just want to know if this is normal? I see loads of people saying they get anxiety but I don't know why I am getting so anxious 2 weeks after quitting, with the first and usually most difficult part being almost nice. Has anyone got any good tips on how to help this? How long does it typically take to lose this feeling? I am doing my A levels right now, so I am more stressed than usual but this is not normal. I don't think that this has anything to do with my adhd meds, because I don't notice this improving or getting worse when they are in effect/worn off.

Thanks for reading I hope that wasn't a load of waffle!!

Hi everyone, I have a pair of pioneer DM-40s, they aren't great but they do the job. Today, I suddenly noticed that when playing a sound of around 130Hz, at a specific minimum volume there is suddenly a rattling noise coming from the active speaker at what i am guessing is also at about 130 hz, but i am not very knowledgeable so i might be wrong. When i put my finger deep enough or cover either/both the ports, the rattling stops. What could this be? It is not a secondary vibration, I am 100% sure that it is coming from the speaker because no matter where i put the speaker even if I am holding it i can hear the noise coming from it's direction.
Thanks in advance!!

Update: I decided to tighten the screws on the back, now the rattling doesnt even stop when i block the ports

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my experience with elvanse/vyvanse and weed over the past several months.
I started adhd meds almost a year ago, with methylphenidate. Long story short, it completely fucked me, I lost loads of weight, confidence, passion and energy. I also started smoking weed more frequently around this time too, which at the time helped me a lot, giving me something to look forward to in the evening after usually a shit day, helped me fall asleep, catch up with eating, etc. I then moved onto elvanse a couple months later, and the weed never really stopped. I was smoking at least once a day, usually in the evening, from august last year to about a week ago. I was constantly complaining about crashes, intensified autistic traits, the meds weren’t helping that much, it would take me about an hour to get out of bed each morning. I thought that after months and months of suffering on adhd meds that they would never work, I started to accept that i was never really going to be a productive person, and that I’d have to carry on living my life feeling like there just isn’t enough time in a day for me to be able to be productive and happy.

I am about to do my a levels, and I have spent the past few months unable to get myself to do any meaningful work, whether that’s due to lack of motivation and discipline or my brain just being too messy to properly think. About a week ago, I decided enough was enough. I had been smoking multiple times a day for about 9 months, and I had ruined myself. Today is day 7 of no weed. I am getting myself back now, as well as a new, improved and productive self. My meds finally work. They almost work a bit too much, I think my body is just not used to this dose without at least a small dose of thc to counteract the amphetamine effects.

I could go on forever about how much weed fucked me, but I’m sure you get the idea. 9 days before my first a level exam, I have felt actual stress for the first time in months. I have my emotions back, i am eating more, I can go to sleep early without having a massive urge to stay up and ruin the next day.

Im not saying weed will do this to everyone, but I just wanted to warn everyone, maybe weed isn’t as much of a harmless medicine as people say. And yes, I know that I was stupid with how much I was using it, if someone smoked weed once or twice a week whilst using vyvanse Im sure they’d be completely ok.

Thanks for reading my rant!!!
