high anxiety/ panic attack/ smoking weed?
alright so ive recently started smoking pot about a month ago. and i really like it. i had been smoking it regularly (at first, every other day. then just on the weekends and a few week days)
but around the same time (a little earlier) i have developed very bad anxiety.
well, my point- the other night i had one hit from a friends bong and i went super paranoid.
basically i had a horrible night, and I had either my first panic attack or just…a weird experience
i had all the symptoms of a panic attack, but im not sure if it was my original ANXIETY or if it was just the weed that made it happen.
Before this, ive had a couple minor anxiety attacks, but nothing on this scale.
anyways i think i need to get rid of some of my anxiety before i smoke again just so it doesnt happen again
are there any good ways to help clear up the anxiety? i want to get back to my weeeed
and dont tell me not to smoke, i really dont give a shit if you think weed is bad.

it’s good to see someone quite honest about panic attacks as you described. you might want to read what a few users have to see at http://budurl.com/PanicAtacks
thanks for sharing you anxiety to many other who would have the same issues
Yeah, I stopped smoking all together because I couldn’t take the paranoia anymore. I have anxiety and it started 7 years ago when I started smoking. I don’t know if it’s the reason for my anxiety, but whenever I smoke my anxiety gets like tenfold. I stopped smoking like 5 months ago after a big paranoid attack. I started off having fun with it too, but its not worth it. Just drink your ass off instead!
the same thing happened to me! i started crying hysterically because i hit my boyfriend in the face on accident ,and it was pretty funny to think about now but at the time i started freaking out.. then i thought i was molested by a guy or something. yah anyways, just make sure you smoke slowly so you dont get so stoned, and make sure youre also in a relaxing place with the least about of stress so youll get a good high.
it also happened to me when i was at a creek and i had to like rock climb up this dirty hill high and i was freaking out too. its just the weed. like i said you need to be in a safe place.
Okay, first let me say that I don’t think weed is bad…having said that, it CAN cause paranoia (anxiety) in many people. You need to weigh the advantages against the disadvantages and make a decision as to whether to continue to smoke or not.
I might also add that sometimes your weed may be laced with something, and you don’t always necessarily know what you’re getting.
I’ve seen many people quit for this reason. It’s caused by changes in life where people have more responsibility and stress and think more about life and consequences and all. Normally, if you’re in a comfortable environment, relaxed, with friends, and being drunk helps, you will get that relaxed nice vibe, so try to only smoke in that environment. If you still get the panic attacks from smoking even in the most relaxed environment and you’ve had a few drinks, then maybe it’s time to consider that it may not be the narcotic for you. Maybe something like ecstacy would be better.
It’s happened to me, and then sometimes it hasn’t. I once read an article that said that weed can amplify certain underlying emotional disturbances like anxiety, depression, etc. I have also heard many people say that panic attacks and paranoia were the reason why they stopped. In this case you have a few options.1. Make sure you are completely relaxed before smoking and in a controlled enviroment. 2. Don’t smoke weed. or 3. Take a xanax or other benzo before smoking, though I wouldn’t rely on this one too heavily, as detox from benzos can kill ya. Good luck
You just had a bad experience with that probably because your body wasnt used to it or ready for it yet. Just relax and smoke the herb. =] happy 420
The weed causes the anxiety and panic attacks. It also causes depression. But since you don’t want to quit, you must like it. So have at it.
Hey, I understand how you feel…
The uncomfortable symptoms like sweaty palms, "jelly" legs, extreme alertness, "impending doom" feeling and the fight-or-flight response.
I’ve been there. I’m an ex-victim. Sometimes the deep breathing or distraction techniques doesn’t work – a full-blown panic or anxiety attack happens later.
Sometimes you experience panic attack out of the blue and such.
Do NOT buy Panic Away, Linden Method, EasyCalm or the Panic Puzzle. They do NOT work – I’ve tried them and their solutions are similar – it DOESN’T WORK.
Medications do NOT work – I was under many antidepressants (Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil and Zoloft) and anti-anxiety medications (Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax) but my condition was the same – no improvement at all.
The only program that really work is The Panic Attack Solution. It’s found by an ex-victim. You can check out his old blog in his official website to read up some useful tips.
But the package is the best – it teaches 17 powerful techniques and the real solution to panic attacks. I’ve bought it and it really helped me – it’s the BEST anti-anxiety package or book I’ve read.
His theory really makes sense and it works effectively!
You will learn why your panic attacks can happen without warning sometimes; why having stimulant causes panic attacks; and many-many other useful tips!
