anxiety a week after space cake, what happened?

It might take more, i am on day 45 and today also i had a panic episode. What kind of c**p are they selling in those coffee shops ! Base on how strong and how big the cake is the time period extends i guess.

In General, Things you can do is exercise,chill, download an app called DARE which is very helpful, Keep peppercorns, fennel seeds, Black seed oil handy. Also sniff on some lavender oil when you are anxious. If its unbearable take one L- Theanine ( its not a drug, its a green tea extract) which increases GABA and gives you immediate calm. Lemon balm also helps.

Space cake messes with the brain chemistry ( GABA,Dopamine,Seratonin etc) and it takes time for those things to come back to normal.Hope you will feel better soon keep it posted.

That was me. Looks like weed pulls magnesium out. So if you are an individual with lot of stress and got muscle tightness etc and took space cake it's going to empty your reserves of Magnesium. What a f*****g poison ! And when magnesium is not there your glutamate will be free and there wont be any gaba to control your thoughts and feelings. That's why anxiety and panic. Check your rbc magnesium level ( not the serum magnesium ) and if its low start on the supplements immediately. You can do body soaks as well and believe me 70% of anxiety and panic attacks reduced within a week or so. It takes time to get the cellular magnesium levels back but it worked for me.

It happened to me once, exactly like you it came back few days later, I learned since , that’s it’s because your white cells are made of fat and it absorbed most of the toxins in your body, so when you exercise you burn that fat and release again those toxins with the effect..

Hi guys,

since many people only write on the forum while they feel bad, I promised myself to add my experience after Im good again so I can help someone else.

TLDR:
It will definitely get better (keep that in mind when you feel lost!) but I takes some time depending on the person. At the end some tips on what helped me.

My Story:
I've been smoking weed for quite some time and Ive never had a bad experience in contrast to many others. Since I'm quite cautious by default I did some research before my trip to Amsterdam with some friends. When we arrived we started slowly over multiple days with smoking some lighter weed, progressing to a blunt, stronger weed and the first space cake with half the proposed amount per person. It was really good quality stuff and a great experience with lots of laughter. The next day everyone got the regular space cake amount. This time however it hit much stronger. The night started out quite nice as before with increasing laughter, everyone felt great until at some moment I had to go to the toilet. I had at this moment a seemingly insane idea I wanted to share with my peers but my brain was working in such slow motion that I was not able to connect everything. (Usually such things did not bother me while being stoned) This situation felt so uncomfortable that I got a panic attack and my hearth started racing like never before and I thought I was going to die. Luckily, the staff at the hotel was quite professional and they had similar cases before. The receptionist explained to me that no one ever died from it, giving me a sugary drink and a chocolate bar. After that we went to sleep while my brain was thinking and associating things in such a fast speed that I started to think I could explain the whole f*****g universe if I wanted to. I woke up every few minutes and experienced lots of fear and paranoia. My friend tried to make me eat the chocolate bar and I refused since it's for sure not the same as the one the receptionist gave me. The next day everything felt unreal and I could not stop thinking about the things from the night before. I still had very associative thoughts and could barely follow longer conversations without the fear that I will forget something. The day after we were traveling back and I tried to simply forget about everything, but every time I got reminded what happend I got a mini panic attack and started worrying that this situation will never end. When I finally arrived at home I was all by myself and felt really lost. That day I did not sleep for 15min at once without waking up in panic. On the fifth day I simply took a sleeping pill and the next day started to feel normal again. I felt some huge euphoria because I tought everything is over but later on especially in the evening my thoughts became again very dark. This up and down continued over the next 5/6 days. In that time my nervous system slowly started to relax again and it went through my whole body. One night every part of my body started twitching like crazy. The next one my stomach and intestines were relaxing again resulting in lots of noises. And even another day just my eyes felt extremely heavy. Since I saw this as part of the healing process I was quite relaxed. While I wasn't able to eat anything the previous days I started slowly getting hungry again and I felt like I was smelling things for the first time in my life, running around like a maniac smelling on all kinds of things. At that point I felt again that everything is over. While my body was fine again my subconscious was not ready yet. This resulted in quite normal days but at night my brain could not stop thinking so Id be awake the whole night and the moment I was going to fall asleep I'd instantly wake up terrified. This continued again for multiple days and with less sleep I was also getting worse thoughts resulting in a vicious cycle. At this moment I realized I had to change something and started reading lots of stuff. At the end I'd say that doing breathing exercises helped me the most to conquer my fears. I can recommend the Wim Hof technique. In total It took me 3 weeks till my body and mind were in a normal state again.

So just be patient, accept what happend and everything will be fine again if you give it enough time.

Things that helped me:
- First and foremost: keep in mind it will get better
- Keep a log on what improved
- Get some distraction/do some stuff you like
- Have a daily routine
- Do some Sport
- Listen to Music
- keep sleep hygiene
- Fresh air/sunlight
- Go out and look into the distance
- Breathing Exercises/Mediation
- Talk with other people
- Make some plans/what you want to change
- cold/warm shower
- thoughts are just thoughts, you decide what to do with them

I must say exactly what u have explained that's what am feeling
