if the depression you mentioned existed prior, it may take longer. though, (and only) speaking from experience, that might just be because it can be difficult to differentiate between the severity of depression from where it was and where it is/heightened levels post withdrawal. trying to gauge if you're back to baseline is a bitch because what you knew as your "normal" depression is exasperated and almost exhausted from the "abnormal" (or exceptional) levels experienced from withdrawal. which, can be depressing in itself lol. like damn, i really lived like that all the time? not that it's nothing new by any means, just a bit of a (rather depressing) reality check.

literally everyone on this sub always says 2 weeks and it's irritating. also very misleading given that biological makeup differs substantially from person to person in itself. then add differences in usage rates, quantity used, and the duration of usage in sum with individual health standing and its over. recovery is by no means universal and while i'm certain that that's pretty obvious and also not the intention of the people saying 2 weeks, there's still no general terms for it. not to be pessimistic or anything, but more or less just suggesting you take responses with a grain of salt and as they are; solely personal experience. even if there's a general consensus or common response from the majority, there's still not a certain answer. especially when it comes to anything medical related
