I recognize myself in many of the posts in this thread. Suffered a so called panic attack 3 years ago after smoking daily for 4 years. At first i was as far away from a panic attack as i could be but the weed changed me over the years. Ever since that panic attack i get paranoia when smoking with ANYONE but alone. Alone its okay but not as great as it used to be. I quit smoking after the panic attack but i have started again and smoked from time to time the last two years. Ive been hoping that the paranoia while high would change or dissapear but it hasnt.. its been a little better at times but still there. In the first 6 months it diddnt affect my sober life. After my life came falling down on me and everything went south it carried over to my sober life. Its been really tough but im a fighter and ill never give in to it.
I havent cured myself from it yet but i think i know how to. Its just that my life is way too stressful and unstable at the time for me to be able to do it. But i think the key is healthy eating, vitamins(magnesium etc), workout(cardio is probably the best, and yoga!), Meditation, and most important of all, dealing with yout point of view on life and your past and problems. I think Eckhart Tolles The power of now is amazing for this, im halfway through it and its just amazing. Shrooms, MDMA and ibogaine could probably also help alot if used in a responsible therapeutic/spiritual way.
Ive given this tremendous amounts of though and analysis and id say i think the anxiety is because of something that the mind is not accepting about reality. May it be in the present or connected through the present by the past. I think all it would take is an "aha" moment that really touches the core of conscioussness but i havent experienced it yet.
But i do know one thing for sure, if its possible to change something once, its possible to change it again.

I have the physical answer and the spiritual answer. The spiritual answer is Jesus and He is the one that I held on to through everything I went through and also the one that pointed out tall the physical real tangible things that I can take to get better. The problem is not the weed persay.. Weed simply makes you aware of the fact that you have an issue within yourself that at some point or another will surface. Three recommendations off the top:
1. Look up the effects of fluoride. Stop using anything with fluoride its a poison! Do your research
2. Stop using any deodorant or anti perspirant with aluminum
3. Start taking lugols solution iodine and only drink distilled water
4. Avoid antiboitics, this is most likely the real root cause to the issues experienced on this thread. Antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria in your gut, thats your immune system, then your body can't fight off the things it used to and then you begin to get panic attacks. So take a lot of probiotics to help replenish.
The issue at hand is that our bodies are being bombarded with chemicals left and right guys. Just look up at the sky and see the chemtrails by those small jets pouring aluminum and other heavy metals down on us. Don't believe me travel outside of the US and see if you don't see a difference in how healthy people are generally and mentally stable.
The ultimate test is that after having done those steps and a good number of other health related things #1 I felt better and now back to myself. Yes I even smoked weed again and no panic attacks what so ever, just laughing and having a good time. Though I don't smoke regularly because it does cause me to be rather unmotivated.
I am praying for you all. Some of you will believe and a lot more people won't believe but given that you are in this situation I hope you try the things I posted. There is certainly light at the end of the tunnel you will not always remain in that state of mind, God bless.

I've done lots of crazy things in the past.. And even gotten depersonalized a couple of times. Even as I write this I'm in a depersonalize state from smoking hourly for 3 to 6 months. Use lamotrigne and any anxiety med for a month, then taper down the second month. This kind of medicating is short term and beyond 3 months is classified as long term.. So make sure u go off these meds in 2 months. Trust me not all chemicals are bad if used correctly, and can exponentially speed up the healing process... But never take psychiatrists 100 percent seriously...coz they don't use these medicines themselves, and might recommend that u use medications for a good year.. I hope this helps :)

This feeling is not forever even if it ceels that way but it aint, it happened to me, i felt i was in a dream and it wasent me no more and sometimes i would freak out because i coulndt feel my self breathing, but my wife was with me in my attacks, its been over 2 months and i feel alot better, sometimes i feel alittle lost but the panic is tottaly gone, whAt also helped me was that i admited i had a problem, i admited to my self and kept telling my swlf this "you are having a panic attack just relax becauae you are in no danger" i would close my eyes and tap my forehead or my cheAk bone and that would snap me back into reality, i hope this is helpfull, and like i said, you are in no fanger whatsoever during a panic attack the sooner you accept it the faster you can control them.

Mate it will never leave u but as strange as it must sound to u now it does get better I promise u,u learn to get on with life and u may think about it everyday of your life from now but it doesn't stop u from doing everything u usually do the only thing I think it effects is it makes it abit easier for u to get knocked out like when u bash your head so be careful with yourself and it makes it hard to think about something in school for an example and hard to remember some stuff but apart from that it's fine u will get over it promise I never spoke to anyone about it when I was going through what u are I know how horrible it is

that is crazy I have those symptoms when I quit smoking but they did not last for 30 to 60 seconds they would last for about close to 10 hours seriously sometimes I would pray for death. Depersonilazition would affect my vision and the way I would see things it was kind of like I'm in a video game or my reality was not there like I am dreaming the most worst experience of my life I would not wish that upon my worst enemy and this happened between 3 to 6 months after I quit without touching weed one time it went away after about 8 months but would happen every single day for about 10 hours every day

Can't believe that this message forum is still going on. But it's such a relief to see it's going strong. I've actually just recently been experiencing these symptoms and it's mentally exhausting and frightening. I do hope that I some day get out of this. For I am the type of person to easily get along with others, make conversation well, always be in a good mood, so on and so forth.
Everything that everyone is saying is spot on to what I'm feeling. I would really like to hear some feedback on progression, or anything positive would help and be beneficial! I'll take all the advice! :)
Anyways, I hope all of you are going strong!

Yeah man, I dealt with this stuff too. Same thing smoked since 15 oz of dro a week and usually couple grams of dab. One day I just tripped out and thought I was dying and it took me a year and a half to just one day tell myself "to hell with it, if I die,I die.. I'm not gonna fight the panic attacks anymore o take scripts for it." Since that day I've been back to my same old self with mild anxiety. (Usually only if I drink a lot of caffeine, or in a high stress situation.) But nOthing like it used to be. I still haven't smoked in two years and miss it everyday.. Honestly I'm just scared to try smoking again so I haven't gotten around to it. Best luck brotha.
