Marijuana withdrawal

[Enoch123]

Hi,

I've been clean from Marijuana for 7 months know, and I'm still experiencing Short-term memory loss, I have a hard time focusing and remembering what I read for school. I was a short term pot user, what can I do to help my recovery ???

What medication can I use ?

I don't know anything about it, but stick around; there are others that do.

I wouldn't recommend medication - most of the things that they would give you to focus are addictive also.

I wrote a post about the my psychological reasons for quitting today. Memory loss is one of the things I experience heavily.

You might try a different way of absorbing the material, like taking notes while reading, making a cd and listening or something else.

The short term memory loss I associate with smoking weed is a lot different. I will forget what I did the previous evening, not remember the plot of a movie, or not recall meeting a person I just met 10 minutes ago. Almost like a long term memory black out. This effects me mostly when high, but it improves quickly after a few days off.

You can work on your memory skills through practice. Maybe BrainAge on the nintendo Ds?
