Suggest Treatment For Numbness, Anxiety, Insomnia And Depression Inspite Of Quitting Smoking

Hey I m 18 usually extreamely athletic, and pretty smart but I ve been smoking allot since my semi accident that happened toward the every end of summer and it took me out of football and hockey but I still worked out a ton so I always cleaned my system easily. Any who since the crash I started smoking pretty consistently but had some breaks here and there I ve never had a problem with weed. But once I stopped because I wanted to be as healthy as I Could be for rugby, I felt Different. Like a sorta numbness, FeeLing like I was still high but not as much, feeling somewhat dizzy, and I started having some crazy anxiety, insomnia doc put me on ambien and some anxiety meds and im taking Wellbutron.. but I only get 4 hours if sleep with it.. i fell asleep around 12:00 woke somewhere at 4 something and couldn t fall asleep and had to go to school witch I did, but my head felt like it had pressure in the temple the left side on my forehead but it faded as the day went on. I kept thinking that SometHing is seriously wrong with me, I even went to the hospital and got blood test, checked for fever, etc. And I m healthy. I still feel strange. Mom says its my health anxiety, and seasonal depression, but im not sure... I do feel better when im out side, and when I workout, it does feel like its going away, slowly but im just frustraighted becAuse im not 100% WhAt s wrong with me. I do have add but I don t really feel myself right now.. am I just detoxing, cleaning my system or whatever you call it? Or is there something wrong with me? Or is it really just anxiety?

Hi,

Wellbutrin is an activating antidepressant and may be responsible for your lack of sleep. The once daily formulations of Wellbutrin should be taken in the morning because of this very reason. If you had been taking it in the evening, discuss with your doctor if switching to daytime will resolve your problem. Regarding the other symptoms, if you are completely off both tobacco and marijuana and still have these symptoms, then discuss with your psychiatrist as to the possible reasons and their management.

Best wishes.
