Hi, I'm 17 years old and for the past couple of days I've been feeling unreal and like I'm dreaming. I've been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder. I had my first panic attack while smoking marajuana last month and every since then I've been having them every other week. Two of them even left me in the ER. All my blood test and EKG came back normal but I'm still worried about my health. Also i've been very depressed. I spend most of my day lying in bed and thinking/worrying. I'm just wondering has anybody else experienced this, and will it ever go away? Its very debilitating and I'm very scared that it's something much more serious than GAD. Thank you in advance. XD

Sorry no one has answered your post yet. I'll try to do the best I can - but could probably use some more info from you!
My first question - if you are aware that your Dx includes GAD, who would you risk intensifying an attack by smoking marajuana? I'm sure you have learned about the effects of many substances on your body - and I would hope your physician spoke to you about the effects of marajuana on anxiety disorders specifically.
What has triggered the attacks since then? Has there also been any CDS use associated with them? Also, do you know what the root of your depression is?
I think you have MANY options that will certainly help you feel the effects of this less. First - stop smoking! If you don't see marked improvement after you have all foreign substances out of your body for a little while, then it is probably time to talk to the doctor about what medications there are that may help you cope better. I think you have a lot of options out there for you, and that you will be able to function just fine on a daily basis!
