Paranoia and panic attacks after smoking weed

Lol, imma say im a stoner now... But the first time i got paranoid, i was with my cousin one night and she brought some weed over. She rolled a blunt and we smomed it. It didnt hit me till later on that night when we was looking at how high. I sat down and stud back up.... Lhh i started going in trip mode. Moving around like the holy ghost was in me. I didnt think i was dying i thought i was gonna die if stand by a window, step outside, step out the patio, and more. I was going nuts.

I have smoked weed here and there a couple times and I became close friends with someone and then we would smoke everyday before school, and after and just all the time. I had never had a bad experience until one night me and our other friends decided to hang out and smoke out of my close friends gravity bong, I was used tot the gravity bong cause I smoked from it all the time. Well I took the first hit and this time it was different I couldn't even finish my hit. I started coughing a lot and felt like I was going to throw up, so I ran to the bathroom and just sat there and then my head started feeling really heavy, so I went to lay down in my friends bed, but then I started freaking out I knew I was thinking to much but I was so scared I kept calling for someone to hold me cause I just felt like I need someone to touch me so I knew I was still alive. Then I fell asleep and woke up and perfectly fine. Then while at school I decide to take a couple hits out of a dab pin, and I was fine and then all of sudden I started thinking of that night and there I was freaking out all over again. I had to breathe in and out and get myself to calm down. But any way I no longer smoke weed because I don't like that feeling and I never know when that feeling will occur so I'm not gonna find out anymore lol!

About three days ago i smoked weed , i had the worst trip ever, i felt like i was going to die by a heart attack.
I felt like nothing in my life had sense ,i was alone and I starte to cry so hard that I called my mom cause i needed help, so frikkin embarassing

Well I been reading most of you guys post and I have to say I'm glad I'm not the only person in the world that has felt this when smoking . When It happened to me it was the worst feeling. I started smoking weed when I was about 20 years old. Only did it once in awhile. Was always a lightweight lol . I hear that the faster your metabolism is the quicker you seem to get high. Not exactly sure how true that is but if anybody has the answer to that I would like to know. But I never had a issue when I did smoke. Anyways my first panic attack was when I was 24 (I'm 25 now). I was alone in my room did a little smoking, then about 20 minutes later I was sitting on my bed and it started to kick in. I felt the sudden need to immediately get up from my bed. I can feel it in my stomach first when I know I'm about too high for my liking. Then my heart started beating so I got very nervous. I know my heart never beats that so I started to panic . I tried splashing cold water on my face and it calmed me down for about 2 minutes. I get back to my back and I immediately got back up. I couldn't sit still. My heart was still beating fast. I tried taking a shower and it kinda helped but once I was out I just kept pacing back and forth in my room still feeling my heart beating fast. I had to tell myself several times I'm not gonna die I need to calm down. That was definitely a scary night for me. I'm already a overthinker when I'm sober so when I was having that panic attack my mind was thinking so many negative things. After that night I've only tried smoking again maybe a small handful of times. More recently I tried it a couple of days ago. I was very cautious so I only took one little hit and Immediately I felt my heart rate starting to increase. After that I said nope I'm not doing this no more. I'm just convinced at this point if it keeps happening I'm just not a smoker. I wish I can just relax like some people when they smoke but I guess I can't. But my advice to anybody having one of those panic attacks after smoking, I've seen a couple of post on here say playing a game helps, and it definitely does. Playing a game on my ps4 helps to ease my mind. I also recommend if you feel yourself getting paranoid after smoking try to talk to a friend or somebody who will help you calm down. Luckily for me I was able to call my friend the night I was having that bad panic attack and she was able to talk to me until I was able to fall asleep. Thanks to everybody for taking the time to read this and I hope this helps somebody out. I enjoy reading all you guys posts knowing I'm not alone .

I had this the first time I had it last night. Never again, never been so scared ever

Haha amen brother

Literally JUST happened to me.
Me & my long term boyfriend got high and ordered pizza. I usually have sober panic attacks but I have control over them.
But tonight was bad.
When the delivery guy got here , I went to get the pizza & he was taking so long to get the food out of the bag. At that point I was thinking he was trying to kill me ( I don't know why ). So I tipped the man & asked my boyfriend to help me carry the stuff cause I was a little shaken up ( because apparently the delivery guy wanted to kill me

lol that must be some good weed your smoking the pizza must have been good also....(~.~)

I felt the same way the only difference is that I had overdosed on caffeine instead of come off it which made it even worse

That was deffinently synthetic that you smoked. I smoked synthetic weed and had the same effect as described. I've olso since then not been able to smoke weed becauSr it's a similar high and sparks attacks.

Plain and simple I've had the feeling of death loosing myself lost in my mind feeling of it can't controll myself......cure ......it's anixty stress ......when u smoke u just need to know your limits start small wait let the high come and if it's not enough and u feel fine u can push forth and find that stepping stone where u feel comfortable don't worry about how much u can smoke or how much u did in ur past its all knowing u

I had the same thing happen to me last night.. EXACT same thing.. so I understand. Thanks for your story.. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else..

it gets better. i had a really bad trip on weed 3 years. My first time I smoked weed I went crazy for 5 hours. I was on a date with a stranger. I Felt like I had entered hell. I thought that I had died and my real body was in the hospital bed and I was in hell. I confessed all my sins to my date, I pissed my pants, and I thought everything was repeating itself. I thought that my heart was going to jump out of my chest. i started screaming uncontrollably. I looked at my date and he was laughing. I immediately thought he was the devil. I went to the bathroom and I talked to myself and said the same thing over again "I'm never getting out of here, I'm stuck in hell" I repeated that sentence for 20 mins until my date started knocking on the door. He told me that he was taking me home and to come downstairs. He grabbed my hand and said please come down the steps, but the steps were dark and downstairs all the light were off. So i thought I was going down into another phase of hell. I refused to go down the steps. His dog was barking uncontrollably at the bottom of the steps( he could probably since my extreme paranoia) And I've always had a great fear of dogs so i knew the dog was going to eat me. I finally accepted my fate and prayed one last time to God and then went down the steps. To my surpise he opened the door, walked me to the car and took me home. When I got home I hugged my room mate and starting crying and thanking God. Because I felt like he gave me a 2nd chance at life. For 3 months I had extreme anxiety attacks. For a year I dealt with depression. What helped me was walking outside. Taking loops around my apartment during the daytime. it really helped me to clear my mind and think good positive thoughts. I've smoked twice since then and had the same type of extreme paranoia but it only lasted for a couple of minutes because each time I went outside and took deep breaths to slow down my beating heart. Hope this helps someone! Weed is not for everyone!

I'm glad I'm not alone. I called the ambulance too lol. Horrible feeling

Oh my god so I just got high again after being sober for maybe 7 or 8 months. My sister and her bf were pressuring me into smoking so I said, eh why not. I took two hits only, but the second time was too big and I said no, I don't wanna do this. I was coughing so much that my head hurt and my face turned red. So I went outside for some fresh air, keep in mind it's raining and 35 outside. Anyway, I stopped coughing and that's when the high kicks in. I walk back inside for a drink and holy sh*t I felt like I was losing sense of time and everything. Everything felt weird and when I asked for a drink I let it spill all over me, and I felt so bad. Then here comes the hell phase! Go back outside and I felt like my entire f*****g body was on fire. Nothing felt right and my body and mind where somewhere else. All I could think about was how this is how I was gonna die, from weed. I kept praying and pacing back and forth asking God to let whatever this was pass over, every second of it was unbearable. I DEADASS ALMOST WALKED OUT IN THE ROAD AND WAITED FOR A CAR TO HIT ME. Nothing felt right inside of me and I started panicking, my heart was going so fast. Then that's when I went back inside and almost passed out, my body and heart were shaking like hell and I felt like I was going to die. My sister was laughing but her boyfriend rubbed my back until the hell of being high was over. Then I was relaxed after that but still kinda shaky. ALWAYS HAVE A BUDDY WATCH OVER YOU! Please. Weed isn't for everyone and people here have commuted suicide because they thought they were dying. Please be careful, DONT SMOKE WEED IF YOURE PRONE TO PANIC ATTACKS.
