Paranoia and panic attacks after smoking weed

Well this happen to me on my 3rd time I was doing pot and I got stone I was laughing alot but I couldn't stop then it hit me I saw black there I saw again it felt like a heart attack it's pulling your neck and then like it feels like your sole left you. I was really scared and I was shaking , couldnt stay still but I went to sleep for an hour and it went away I felt it a bit but not like the beginning . When I was walking every thing felt like it's moving slow it was scary but not I don't get that feeling anymore thank god though

Today was a crazy day for me. Im a junior student and today was first time i ever tried weed, i wanted to feel relaxed and open and chill, people never told me you could get really paranoid. After a smoked a little i had a sensation of deja-vu ( i thought i've seen, felt and lived all that i was seeing, i even know what people were about to say before they said it) and i tried to tell people about it, at that time it was still fun to be high, but then i saw that i couldnt control this deja-vu feeling, and it kept getting worse. I realized that my vision was a little bit late for what i was seeing, almost like everything was in slow motion, i felt no pain whatsoever when i pinched myself. For some reason i got to a point when i thought i was in a dream i needed to wake myself up by screaming, but at the same time i had a common sense that what i was feeling was real life (not a dream) and shoudnt act obnoxious so i thought, ill be quiet, wait for myself to wake up or for the effect of the drug to go away in case this is real life and ill be fine. My friends all seemed ok, they were eating something at a bakery, i felt like we were there for 3 hours when in real life we were there for 10 minutes and i thought i would never go home, so i started crying lol i thought the dream would never be over. I really went crazy, i didnt know that you could hallucinate with weed, but when i was waiting for people to eat so we could go home i looked out the window and i had the impression i saw this spanish woman with a long ass hair tight up to a stroller, at the point i said to myself: this is a dream! So for an near an hour i really really thought i was in a dream, and i also thought that everything i was doing here i could be sleeping walking in real life and something dangerous could be really happening, so when i drank water i thought i was drowning, and when i burped i thought i could be choking on my own vomit while sleeping, it was really hard to no think about dying, so we went home my friends still didnt believe in me so i had an idea of recording myself saying what was happening in case this wasn't a dream so i could see how i was when i get sober, but weird enough i remember it all! i deleted the video because it's really creepy, i was crying saying: this is not real, wake me up, i dont want to die or to kill anybody, if anyone can hear me in real life wake me up! It was really not a good experience, i fell ok now, but since everybody thought i was lying about all this, i went on the internet to see if im not the only unlucky bastard to go crazy with weed! and it feels good to see that its a common reaction to marijuana. I dont think ill do it again, because im really afraid of fighting the situation and killing myself to try to wake up or something, which was something that i first thought about when i thought i was in a dream! crazy!  

Omg i really thought i was the only one this ever happened to. I smoked weed for a while then after a little while i started to get really paranoid and thing freddie krueger was out to kill me , i even thought my friends and my own mum was freddie kregur i got so freaked out i even started to cry .. I kept feeling like i was going to swallow my tounge. I stoped smoking weed for ages and then smoked a joint one day and it happened all over again i dont know what my problem is but i know one thing for sure I AM NEVER SMOKING WEED AGAIN f**k THAT ! :) xxxx

ohmygod! this is EXACTLY what had happened to me last night! it was my birthday, and as a joke my friends had made me "special brownies" and i kept nibbling at it and nothing happened for a good 1-2hours. then all of a sudden it hit me. as i got up i just went "what the f**k" where am i? is this my room? and i was asking people to help me "get out of the dream" and i would flip out all of a sudden and shout and scream and tell people to stay away cause " i was about to wake up" but then i would calm down and again and remember i had eaten some of the brownies. this went on for like a good 2 hours as well!! i was soooooooo tired and nearly fainted at one point. my hearing went funny at one point as well. it was awful. so so relieved it hasn't given me brain damage and that its normal! hahaa

omg, i suffer from the exact same thing! and the first time i EVER panicked was smoking a joint. i had smoked six or seven times before that, but that one time, and even a couple years later i was pressured into smoking again, and the same thing! i feel it has affected my life, i hate weed for this. i literally have become antisocial because if i get around weed i have anxiety/panic attacks (and weed is pretty much in my whole town). any advice? nice 2 know my story is not the only one told.

another thing i want 2 ad is that i use 2 be popular, outgoing, funny, and going places constantly. now i have social phobias/anxiety/ panic attacks and it all started from smoking that 1 joint. it was a HUGE deal for me the first time it happened, im glad i was around family instead of a huge crowd. but the second time i was, and since then. i feel people look at me different idk. but i would love some advice on how to get out of this rut. thank you

I had the same thing happen to me last night. It was a complete out of body experience. You start to feel like your heart is pounding so hard that it is physically going to break through your ribs. The only thing that you can concentrate on is that you think you are going to die, which makes it feel worse. You need to focus on something else. The best thing for me was to go to sleep. It took awhile to actually fall asleep, but once I did I no longer noticed it and I was able to sleep through the night. I hope this helps.

well weed has everything to do with the mind... paranoia is normal to an extent. you probably had some sativa strand of weed which f**ks with your head more than indica. indica focuses on the body more. i recommend taking shotguns from your friends which is better than hitting the blunt directly bc it's less smoke you are inhaling. if you do this and still panic STOP. i smoked spice and got the worst experience. i couldn't smoke weed directly at first, but eventually after doing shotguns i was okay. whenever i feel like i start to get overly trippy i just tell myself "this is real life. and you're just high". weed is use for medicinal purposes. i don't think they would recommend it to their patients if it was so harmful. just be careful of the strand you intake.  :-|

 READ THIS!@!*&*!@ ASAP , first hand experience and i CAN help you! Here peeps, lemme help you out, i just had my first anxiety/panic attack from a blunt ride a month or 2 ago, and well it was not good at all,  it was the worst feeling i ever felt, it was like a fake heartattack .you can be sitting in a car on a blunt ride(i advise when it hits you in the car, get out for a little while and sit on a curb or just rest it out if,  but yeah as i was saying this IMPENDING DOOM feeling will come over you, starting from your stomache progressing all the way up (literally, putting your body in a numb state, feeling like your body fell asleep) and you will start to think you can't breathe. DONT THINK THAT. YOU WILL MAKE IT THRU THE ATTACK. My best tactics are talking to myself in my mind, assuring that i'll be fine as long as im breathing im not dying, you might even start to hyperventalate, but that's 100% normal. Just nurse yourself slowly, drink alot of water, (I SERIOULY ADVISE IF YOU HAVE SERIOUS ANXIETY BUT CANT STOP SMOKING LIKE ME STAY UP WHILE YOU SMOKE, MOVE AROUND., well mine was cause i went from smoking nearly an ounce a week to nothing cold turkey 1 day aquital.) well i advise you to stay standing up, walk around, keep yourself occupied, think about something else and if that's too hard, go actually do the dishes, the cold / hot water will bring you back to life so to say and you'll be 100% ok, with a few anxiety feelings left over. Now if you wanna really send yourself into a downward spiral, you'll stay plotted on the couch or stay sitting in the car like i advised. What this'll do is take the anxiety straight to your mind, and i remember i had to actually have my mother bring me to the hospital, immobilized by the attack, in a  wheelchair, and once we hit the first water fountain, i took a sip of water and it was immediately gone. Now if you did just stop smoking for a long while (thats usually how you trigger anxiety disorder, when you've smoked for 2+yrs 1 year is all it takes) after smoking so much, this is how you get rid of it personally, and trust me you've gotta be very very strong minded, and actually fight the anxiety during an attack (as funny as it sounds), you simply start off smoking 1 blizzy . if you start feelinn the impending doom feeling, take a break, go eat something, like cereal, they say eating takes the high away but if you have anxiety, the food won't do anything but bring your anxiety down, which is a good thing, then you can smoke again when your in a feel good mood, DONT BE SCARED TO SMOKE, ANXIETY ATTACKS CANNOT KILL YOU FROM JUST WEED, JUST LIKE WEED CANNOT KILL YOU, I've taken 3 prescribed pills, drinken a huge amount of liquor, and smoked 3+ blunts, you won't die, i was feeling great. just keep that in mind at all times n you'll be a-ok. you actually have gotta fight the attacks, just be strong people, and in approxmitely a week (that's how long it took me) you'll be able to Yoda(lol that's what my mom calls it) the feeling, leading back to your normal marijuana intake without going crazy. just please people, if you have an attack, don't sit down and stare at a TV, you might think it's distracting your mind, but your so much into your mind when you have anxiety that it's just a mind trick.
 thanks for taking the time to read this, and goodluck,

PS. if your around any friends when your high and start buggin out with anxiety, TELL THEM. they need to know, they can make it worse by insulting you whilst not being aware of your state of mind.

You have to wait about one hour. It lasts only one hour.

He said 20 minutes, but I think he was only concerned about my state of mind.  So he said 20 minutes.

Vitamin c HUGE amount 4 thousand MG

Ice one your head, down your pants. Bare feet on ice ... walk

walk and keep walking.

When it comes time to talk to humans, say one sentence in agreement and ask one question. Then shut up.

In the middle of it time slows to YEARS ... so be prepared.  It will be OK. If your friend must hit you over your head to porevent you from calling 911 or the ambulance, let em.

air freshener and perfume helps. I redid my makeup three times. VERY carefully.

I just got done with the Ganga weed ... I had eaten it.  I ate as much as I could ... fat and calories.  My mate said eat a hot dog but it was talking to me.  So I couldn't. I started laughing hysterically and that was only 20 minutes before sobriety.

So don't worry. Visine, cold. Red lipstick (unless you are a male ... then skip that ...)

I found a cure from having these panick attacks. everyone is diffrent but when i take vyvanse which is a pill for ADD i feel more calm when high and dont get panick attacks

Bro same thing happened to me two times in arow, I promised God that I would never smoke again! take my advice and not do it, I felt really scared, I was questioning my existence and I felt like I was traped into my own life, I know how you felt, thats why Im incouraging you to stop smooking and let it go. :)

But your ok now right? I've been left traumatized I can't even think about smoking anymore. Not even a cigarette, that's how much it's affected me, it bothers me that I can't live my life how I want anymore but I have saved a lot of cash since stopping which is the only thing positive, but I STILL can't sleep :(

a trap from the devil? its called an anxiety attack, take a look on youtube if you want to help yourself out, allot of the techniques help me allot, still havent smoked a doob since though... sucks man i wanaa get high
