Anxiety, Panic attacks and Depersonalization after smoking weed

Negative reactions to marijuana can happen.  It's happened to me. Different people have different reactions.  After doing too much pot one time, I had a severe panic attack. I felt very disoriented and my thoughts were racing at a  100 miles per hour.  I felt better later  that night, but had some recurring episodes.   Just like your situation, the panic/fear would come back to me.  Usually at nighttime, when I was dreaming, I would feel 'weird' and disoriented.   This eventually went away, and I think it will with you too.   Breathing exercises can help to relax you as will listening to music.   Getting outside and taking walks.     Also, if you're going thru a period where you're panicking or getting scared, try to get your mind off it and focus on other things.   For me, i would think about movies I've seen or books I"ve read and go over the plot of the movie to get my mind off what happened.    Or you can try thinking about positive experiences you've had, good times with friends etc.    Don't worry, this will pass!!!!!  I've been there.   Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm sorry that happened to you. However, I am really glad that you posted your experience. I am so sick of people in music, on television, the internet talking all day about smoking good week and having a good time and acting like it's the best thing in the world. No one hardly ever tells about how it can make you feel like you've lost your mind! You have to realize however, with weed and other street drugs-- when you watch a television commercial with PRESCRIPTION drugs, there are a million and a half side effects to the drugs just to TREAT something. These are FDA approved pills! When we take other substances made on the streets, in your neighborhood, wherever, they were just made by some random id**t who has NO degree, nada. They've never studied the human body AT ALL. The only thing they've probably studied is the human body language of how potentially interested a person is in BUYING their drug before they hussle their new customer. You're going to need your doctor's help. I mean a doctor who cares. Because if it's not a doctor who actually cares about what your going through, they could be worse than the street dealer (just pushing pills left and right). Just like if you were to have an allergic reaction to a prescribed medication, you would seek a professional's help. The same is needed when you've taken a street drug, even MORE SO. I know exactly what you are talking about! I had a panic attack so bad after smoking week once that I actually believed that there was no such thing as God. And if there was, that there was no way in hell he could help me. I didn't know who I was, where I was. All I could think the whole time this madness was going on is " After this is done, I don't want anything to do with puffing a cloud, wind, stream... ANYTHING". It will probably take some time before you feel back to normal. In the meantime, you will have to speak with a doctor. You would definitely rather get help then feeling like you're going insanerception was off, I felt like I was going to fall through the earth and die. I .
