Suggest Treatment For Lack Of Sleep And Weight Loss After Stopping Marijuana

Ive recently stopped smoking marijuana after almost 2 years of regular use and i beleive i am suffering from withdrawal symptoms. sleeping is the biggest challenge at the moment and have not slept in the past 35 hours, eating is also starting to become an issue as my appetite has dropped substantially, and have dropped from 100kgs to 95kgs in the past week. Im 6 foot 5 and i play basketball daily as im planning of playing Colllege level basketball in America at the start of next year. What are some things i can do that may help?

Depression after stopping an abused drug is quite frequent and antidpressants are very helpful
Seeing your regular doctor and being honest. An antidepressant is likely to help with everything. Many of them cause sedation (helpful in this context) they help appetite also.
