Edible withdrawal
Hello, I am currently 8 days sober from taking delta 9 gummies pretty consistently for the last 2-3 years. I quit cold turkey. My reason for quitting is because I got married and want to be a better spouse, friend, family member, employee, and I really want to start a family. I knew the gummies/edibles weren’t going to be forever and I thought I was just having fun with it. I don’t smoke, drink, or anything else…just these gummies you can buy online. I don’t even have a medical card.
Anyway, I’m 8 days sober and everyday has been hell. Worst pain I’ve ever experienced. It’s the closest thing I’ve experienced to death tbh. That might be dramatic but oh well. I’ve had a fever for days. Even went to the emergency room because yesterday, I started to not be able to take a deep breath or yawn without excruciating pain. It sent me into what was probably a panic attack (never had one until now). The ekg, vitals, blood work, and X-rays all looked normal apparently. Even tho this feels like the furthest thing from “normal”. I’m writing this to see if anyone shares a similar experience. I don’t hide anything from the doctors so they know about the delta 9 and they all look at me like I have 5 heads. It seems like there’s not enough research or experiences related to mine which leaves me feeling isolated, humiliated, embarrassed. I can’t sit up for long periods or time. I can’t get comfortable. I’m skipping work which makes me feel guilty. I’m just curious if anyone can relate because I want to die
*editing to include that the doc at the er said it was pleurisy
