Anyone experience mania/manic episode from stopping Sertraline (200mg) cold turkey and/or from smoking weed?

I can only speak to marijuana. I used to live in a state where I had a medical card and now live where it is entirely illegal. I had to use some short term benzos to deal with the mania you mention. Withdrawal is real and isn't always physical symptoms! I don't know the other drug or impacts, but can say I had to go through a marijuana taper and mgmt with Xanax for about a month. I tapered both to zero at the same time. Just a thought!
