    Wouldn’t recommend it but I stopped lithium cold turkey. It was making me throw up everyday and was toxic in my system, yet when I asked to be weaned off they said it “helped me” even though it was making me sick daily …

    So I stopped cold turkey and ended up going through quite bad withdrawal for a few weeks. I’m glad I did stop it though because nobody was listening to me.

    Weed. Used to smoke a few grams every day for years and it stopped agreeing with me all of a sudden, it’d give me major anxiety and paranoia so after trying to just smoke through it, I eventually just quit and never looked back. Never felt such mental clarity in my life.

    Smoking cigarettes and smoking weed.

    Cigarettes was actually pretty easy, I hated the smell of it but I craved the nicotine, pouches was an easy alternative and had no issues.

    Weed was much harder, while it may not be physically addictive, I was dependent on it to sleep and to curb my boredom. It took me weeks to be able to fall asleep within a normal amount of time but the boredom almost made me relapse more times than I can count. Idc what anyone says, weed is certainly addictive

    Cigarettes. Woke up one morning and I was just done. It’s been a little over 6 years now, I haven’t had a craving in 5+ years.

    I quit smoking cigarettes that way. It was kind of an accident. I just never bought a new pack of cigarettes. I was 18 and had been smoking for 5 years. I had a mew job that kept me busy and I just kept forgetting to buy smokes when I was out and about. I don’t miss it.
