- These substances are very common and many of us use them daily. I did not expect the withdrawals from these to be as bad as they were. The withdrawals sucked and were much worse than I anticipated.

10 months clean & sober today. Gonna try quitting cigarettes once I hit a year (if I make it 🙏🏻)
you will make it!!!
You'll be sober when you stop all drugs, it includes cigarettes & alcohol
Shut up
Did ya make it?
I did a couple of stuffs like marijuana and nicotine, there was no withdrawal once I stopped them. But man caffeine withdrawal almost made me insane and sugar withdrawal made me depressed like nothing.
Everyone is affected differently. I drink coffee and vape daily daily, but in certain situations when I can't have it even for a couple of days, it doesn't make me crave either of them. Just to show how different is individual is.
I get headaches as well when I don't have my coffee in the mornings... not fun!
Good to see you, Kyle. Hope everything is going well :)
O.o I almost never get withdrawals from caffeine, and caffeine has a lot of health benefits. Most people unfortunately use it earlier than an hour after waking that unbalances cortisol, and makes you crash in the aftie. There are months I'll go without coffee, without energy drinks, and little to no tea. Hehe.
alKILLhol, I never got hangovers, and never withdrawals, even when drinking heavy on some weekends. Usually I'd wake up feeling great. I'm part Russian though. Lol.
I had vomited with beer before liquor. As they say, and as I knew before that night, that, "Beer before liquor, makes you sicker. Liquor before beer, and you're in the clear." Lol.
See people mix beer with liquor in parties where they drop shots into beer was quite interesting... Vomit all over the place. I barely drank though, because alcohol felt horrible, and then I stopped some years ago for good.
Withdrawal from Zopiclone was absolute HELL. I was completely jumpy, head on a swivel, full of the worst anxiety that I ever, ever felt. It felt like my thoughts were spiky and couldn't fit inside my head.
I had to stop taking Zopiclone because it made me aggressive!😂
Learning so much from you, great job.
Great vid man, your content has realy helped me understand and get over my substance abuse
A lot of people don't know about the anti-depressants and how terrible their withdrawals can be. My doctor never told me. I was on Lexapro for nearly a year, for anxiety. I tapered very slowly and fortunately for me I was fine (I did remember having temporary increases in my anxiety and feeling a little aggressive). Not everyone has it so easy though.
Anti depressants are a fucking nightmare to get off of. Especially SDNI like cymbalta. Took my mom 3 years for her symptoms to go away.
Lucky you, I have worse experience and still I am on some amout of zoloft
good to see you again brother!
Coffee had me withdrawing like hell!!!!!! Had to quit it because it killed my stomach bacteria
So interesting. In fact fascinating. Thank you!
Very interesting video brotha. For me sugar was a big one as well
I've come to learn drugs have two separate effects. The effect which is brought by its direct influence and those caused by its absence.
I have always seen it as borrowing from the future: energy, happiness, etc.
You always have to pay it back.
Very informative thank you’
Absolutely spot on! Good to see you.
Im finding cigarettes harder to stop than dope
Cigarettes are easy to stop... They don't even do anything. Dope is a pain medicine, don't ruin it.
@@creamydistortion Nicotine?????????? Stimulant!
Gabapentin withdrawal...you nailed it
Used to withdraw from both Gabapentin and Methadone back in the day when I would run out of Methadone. It would be un freaking bearable. Gabapentin withdrawal by itself, still all bad. Would last at least 72 hours for me. The restless leg syndrome alone would drive me crazy.
Does methadone high feel like heroin?
@@BlissDelusion13 I only did heroin one time, but for me it was similar to oxy...I would have had to take about 200 mgs of methadone to really nod out, but mostly I'd just sleep.
@@thelastgeneration5862 has methadone any euphoria? Is it worm and comfort enoungh to use it recreationaly, or it's not worth it?
@@BlissDelusion13 come on man. No. I might give you euphoria for a day but you will become dependent on it and can overdose on it.
It’s good for chronic pain and chronic opiate use.
Do not use methadone. It’s not worth it.
Not worth it
Bro i liked ur videos ,u look awesome ..Hope all the best for u
I agree with you on the gabby/Lyrica withdrawal. To me it's like a mixture of opiate and benzo withdrawl. Elements of both. My withdrawal is a 96 hour affair. Hot sweats, bight sweats, nightmares, insomnia, heartburn, nausea and body aches. I basically pee myself into dehydration. Gabapentin and Lyrica make you retain water so when you run out or quit gabapentin that's how you get rid of all that fluid.I still use Lyrica for the neuropathy in my leg. I basically can't get off the couch without it.
Woow, really? I am on lyrica, never thought it can cause me some problems. Now I'm afraid
Gabapentin was a nightmare to taper because I abused it thinking it wasn’t addictive taking one every half hour for awhile because I read from medical websites it wasn’t addictive killing my last shred of trust in the American healthcare system. But it’s such a weird drug because if the way it’s absorbed I find I couldn’t predict when I was going to feel the withdrawal bad without taking more that I wanted to. Luckily I switched to lyrica initially because it’s cheaper and have found it so much easier to taper and in general I find the withdrawal symptoms are a lot less severe. Tapering gabapentin was like having waves of coke comedown anxiety come and go for hours at a time. I wasn’t even doing that crazy of a dose and only abused it for a few weeks but I’ve been stuck on gaba or lyrica ever since. Lyrica works well for pain though I just want to taper to not be on a crazy high dose because having had a couple seizures before I’m really afraid of if I had to cold turkey anything over 300 mg a day, so far I’m down to 500 mg but when I switched to lyrica I was taking like 1000 mg a day. Can’t believe people are prescribed the amount of gaba I was taking when I was abusing it long term. It felt so dirty coming off
You forgot alcohol withdraws. There really bad too cause when my dad gets off from work (he’s an alcoholic) his arms literally shake.
Bro I'm so glad you mentioned antidepressants, and I sort of expected they might be in the video because of how bad that withdrawal is. And keep in mind, I'm someone who started neglecting taking them every day towards the end, so it's probably even worse for everyday users. It was the brain zaps for me that were the worst. They seemed to strike at night and especially when I was trying to sleep. Every time I bent over or tilted my head, brain zap. They varied from mild tingling (sometimes pleasurable) all the way to brutal, electrocution-like shocks (there's no lasting pain though which is good). First few times, I thought I was just having flashbacks from the zaps caused by the other infamous serotonergic substance or some sort of residual effect. But they got stronger and more frequent and I realized I'm in for a ride lol
My head tells me, “One more pack won’t kill me” oh the lie.
True
Benzo WD are the worst wds.. They can last for years!
Withdrawal from the ego..gives you comlete controle of your mind..set's you free..
..and I've been worrying about drinking too much beer...most of these drug names in your vids I'm hearing for the first time
Great to see ya Dog!
Heads Up on nicotine dependence. I gave up 20 years ago. Still catch myself saying "I'd kill for a cigarette!"
4:00 i had more then a hedache i was on the floor room spining crying for no reason havimg to use a lot of effort to move . And shaking . Also tylonol or ibprofun will not touch the heafldache ... .. dont consume 800 mg of caffeme daily because you will have to cut back.
to be honest the withdrawals from paroxetine (antidepressant) were so bad that I had to get back on it. I was so agitated and angry I would scream if anything inconvenient happened. And I did not even get brain zaps..
Effexor withdrawal is definitely terrible. All you have to do is miss one dose, and wake up the next morning feeling like you have the flu. I will say as a sufferer of bpd though, the medication also saved my life.
I haven’t smoked for 10 years and still love, simply love the smell of a burning Cigarette being smoked. I wish it wasn’t so expensive and bad for you. If I ever get told I’m terminal, I’m going to go get a carton of my favorites!
WOW! That seems so weird to me. I quit around 1980 through a aversion therapy but then smoked at will for several years meaning if I didn't have any I wasn't bothered and would smoke maybe two cigarettes a day as compared to a pack plus prior.
But around 1995 I quit completely and I would NOT smoke a cigarette now for payment!
Coming of antidepressants is hell on earth. I had to do once as I'd had mania. Think its your brain complaining "where's my serotonin gone". Great videos, i can miss caffeine for weeks no issues, don't know why. Thanks for these vids mate.
Tramadol withdrawal is horrible!😭
I took gabapentin for like a year and a half, along with Suboxone. I've heard horrible stories about the withdrawals from the Gabapentin. But when I stopped taking it, I didn't experience even the slightest withdrawal. I honestly couldn't even tell I was off of it. Was a good thing I suppose. And a good thing to take 1 less medication out of my system.
Zanax and Oxycodin withdrawal was the worst for me. No sleep for 3 months.
I have never experience withdrawal from any of these. I am currently on gabapentin and just randomly stop taking it, never noticed anything significant from not taking it. I was once a 3 pack a day smoker then switched to nicotine gum, then quit the gum with no problems. 16 years clean from cigarettes currently. I used to drink 4 cups of coffee a day or 3-5 energy drinks. Never got headaches from that. I have experienced brain zaps from various medications but never from stopping anti-depressants. Crack withdrawal was probably the worst one for me. The depression lasts months or even up to a year.
Dude you misspelled sergeant 😂 not Sure if intentional
That crack did its job
I almost never get withdrawals from caffeine, and caffeine has a lot of health benefits. Most people unfortunately use it earlier than an hour after waking that unbalances cortisol, and makes you crash in the aftie.

ive never had any issues with gabapentin besides swelling and I've been taking it for years.
And did you get rid off the antidepresants? Btw I have the same experience with coffee and nikotin withdrawals. Antidepresant was way more worse from sleeping problems, sweatting, cold then hot feeling, headaches, anger, shaking, that all from lowering Zoloft
Yea caffeine is a weird one with the headaches. Been through effexor too, on the smallest dose after 15 years. Used to be on the max dose. Any tips to get off the last little bit would be appreciated. Ive had a seizure from benzo withdrawal but would rather deal with that again than go through effexor withdrawal again. Just terrible
water tapering if you can. ruclips.net/video/whpciMUXHfY/видео.html
I m on gabapentin antidepressants my withdrawals come from food
No problem from anything else
I'm a chronic pain and chronic illness patient and I've been on gabapentin and then pregabalin for years and still am. It's not unusual for my pharmacy to not get me my medications on time (I'm only allowed to pick them up on day 29 and 30 of the month because of their ability for abuse) and when I'm not able to get them, within 24 hours my body completely crashes. Like having the quest flu I've ever felt and it lasts for up to a week. No energy, nausea, body aches, headache, the whole bit. It also crashes my immune system so the first germ I encounter, I get a sickness double whammy. The withdrawal from that stuff, especially when you're on it long term, is no joke
Come to Thailand. It's available at pharmacies over the counter here. It's cheap, and you'll never have to beg a doctor for permission to take your medicine (or wait until some arbitrary day to pick it up) ever again. Also we have affordable housing and stronger family values... It's a better quality of life in every way for us chronic pain people.
@@creamydistortion My family is very tight knit, my sisters and I basically helping to raise each others kids together and helping to take care of my parents after my dad got cancer. I don't think I could ever live so far away from them. It would feel like cutting away a piece of my heart 😔
If you're on gabapentin for years the withdrawal is like an absolute horrifying trip to hell
Brain zaps are weird. Didn't know others knew what they were.
How about suboxone. Brutal+
It sounds bad but after watching this i want a coffee
Nicotine was worse than beer.
i have successfully kicked an alcohol habit and a meth habit, but nicotine is impossible, worst addiction of all imo
Ditto!😂
I've had to withdraw with Gabapentin because my Dr forgot to send in a pre-approval so it took several days and i thought i was dying. And as far as nicotine, people don't want to be around me especially the longer time went on.
I was detoxing off gabapentin and subs in jail in 2020. I felt like I was crawling out my skin and wanted to fucking die. The only thing they gave me was clonidine. It didn’t do dick. I was in jail a little over two weeks and I swear I only slept for an hour and a half and that happened going into the 12th day out of pure exhaustion. I had the most vivid dreams. But then once I woke back up I just started crying because I just wanted to sleep. I was also in the hole in a cell that had a camera…. I was puking and shitting pretty much every hour so whichever guards were watching at the time got a show. My time in that cell changed how I am now about peeing with others in the same room, with changing with others in the same room. I no longer care. It took my humanity away. 😢as of the beginning of 2023, that jail has started to give inmates that have any type of opiate in their system Suboxone. I think that is fucking awesome and a step in the right direction. I wish they were doing that when I was there but still at least it is giving people that are there now and the last few months a fighting chance.
Pregabalin is by far the worst withdrawal I've ever experienced.. worse than opiates worse than valium fucking horrible
Why did u stop antidepressants?
SSRIs are evil
3:34 👉☕️🍺
I have never had the desire or need to be addicted to any substances. I did have an eating addiction that I needed help to overcome and control my weight. To anyone out there with a substance or eating addiction get help and you can overcome it. Pray to God he will help you.
Serequell… Serequeasy it’s called in Cali prisons
That stuff is toxic as hell. It's actually illegal in better countries.
Yuk that stuff is vile! Quetiapine right?
Käytin lyricaa 7-8 vuotta 300-1400mg/pv.
Olot oli aika paskat.
I'm surprised benzodiazepines didn't make it onto this list. The worst withdrawal symptoms I've ever experienced were from xanax by far! I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, and I think I may have had a seizure from it too.
That’s insanely well known lol. If you didn’t know this already you’re highly uneducated. Benzos, alcohol and barbiturate withdrawal are the only deadly ones.
It's not 'suprising'that's why I guess
Pregabalin
It's the 'newer' 'safer' version of gabapentin.
It's gonna send your anxiety through the roof.
There's also harvard research showing it adversely affects your cognitive ability if on it for a long time.
Be very cautious if your Dr prescribes it.
I was on 300mg 2xday for 7+ years [nope it didnt help with the anxiety 😅]
But if there's any forgetfulness on your part [thanks, Pregabalin 🙄],
Or any mix up at the Drs office,
Or the pharmacy ran out you are gonna get OBLITERATED
It does not allow for any wriggle room at all. like, 6 hours tops before it starts to kick in.
Ridding it from your system takes longer, like about 1-2 weeks ... then you gotta rebuild your brain after.
Its gonna leave you unbearably anxious, distressed and in a very heightened yet incredibly dark place if you suddenly come off it.
Not to mention the cold shakes coz your nervous system is in shock.
Just be very cautious and do your research because at the end of the day a drug is a drug, whether its from a lab or not.
It's gonna change your chemistry and physiology... and I believe that the risks are sometimes overlooked or downplayed.
Inform yourself, do your research, weigh up the pros n cons, be prepared.
Love this channel so much btw, thanks fella ❤
You missed Gravol withdrawal it’s a bitch
nothong compared to Porn
When I weaned off sugar then for 2 weeks I felt down zero emotions. Putting down cigarettes, marijuana or coffee then after a few days I don't think about them. Sugar is a different league
Dude I’m on Effexor for the 2nd time right now. I’ll never forget coming off if the first time. The brain zaps are horrible, and actually scare me sometimes because of how intense they care. Unfortunately though, it’s the only drug that works for my depression and anxiety. Can’t take SSRIS because they render me sexually useless. Effexor doesn’t do that to me though, so I went back on it. Not looking forward to the day when I have to come off it again 😩
Get OFF ALL AntiDepressants. Imagine what is going to happen to all the people taking tehse drugs if a WW3 scenario breaks out and the supply chain breaks down, because almost all our pharmaceutical ingredients come from China. I got Sober off all that and am in the best condition at 46 than ever. and NOT dependent on the pharma industry.
Zoloft, on n on you know what you’re talking about! I’ll share this on Twitter n Facebook
I had brain zaps for nearly a year after coming off Effexor
Wow, that sucks!!
Coffee and sugar has shittiest withdrawls
Lol😂
