SUFFERING ANXIETY AFTER A PANIC ATTACK FROM WEED???

Hey I know exactly what you are going through. I've had anxiety for years. It actually went away for about 6 months until a week ago I ate edibles and a blunt. I went into a full blown, shaking, uncontrolled panic attack to the point where I didn't know what was going on. I wanted to go to the er but I talked on the phone with an ex, yes sucks, to calm me down. It worked. But now every day I worry I am going to have another one. That's the problem, once u have one u just keep worrying your going to have another until you have another. It's a cycle. I'm on meds, which I'm out of right now and can't see my doctor for a week, so this should be fun for me. I think we need to not worry about worrying about having a panic attack and learn relaxation techniques. That's my goal.

Hi buddy please email me im going thrue the same right now jever since that one hit made me feel that way i quit smoking weed i been clean almost 5 months but i get those attacks when i least expecy it

Im 19 too. I always smoked out of blunts not all the time. Just whenever i was around my friends that did anyway one night i smoked out of a bowl which i never did before and i took one big hit and panicked. Almost felt like i went crazy. I couldnt calm myself down. It was so scary. this was in october. It is now january and i have been fine until yesterday, i tried to take a nap after class. I couldnt seem to fall asleep i became nervous and anxious .. Idk whats wrong. This is scary

So tru!!! Cas i worry when the next one is going to come If i havent had it In allong time

I am experiencing the same exact thing does your vision return back to normal and does your anxiety and panic attacks go away.

I am experiencing the same thing please. I know you posted this over a year ago but i need to know if your vision went back to normal and if your panic attacks went away.

Hi i am experiencing the same things you are. one night i was high and i told myself that i am going to stop and i read online that i gan give you psychosis so i got a little scared not something huge then went to sleep. the next morning i felt weird i had weird vision like it was sharp, i dont really know how else to explain it, i was not normal. Having this weird vision has been giving me panic attacks small just for a few seconds but they are scary nonetheless. Follwing those symptoms i also feel like two days ago was like a forever ago. i have been feeling like this for almost two weeks now but things are getting better. In total i have been smoking a couples times a week from Mid November to December 26 when i stopped. I smoked six days in a row before i quit. I am just worried that i will have to live with this and that frightens me. Normally i am a happy guy, always smiling but this is really scaring me. by the way i have Add and have not been taking my medication for the past four or five years. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this and has recovered. I am 18 years of age. 

Hi, I found this thread while searching for something to help me in my current situation. I'm thirty, have used weed for only a several times in my life. First few times I didn't feel like weed was much of anything - good or bad, more or less resembled getting drunk for me. Then after several years (3 months ago) I was having (still have some problems with my life - job loss, my wife miscarrying, etc) and I decided to try mj again in order to dillute my depressive thoughts. I got a couple of grams of mj from a general aquaintance and decided to cook mj to make it stronger. I did that after i read a recipe in a forum and i ingested mj cooked with oil. After 4 hours i started feeling the effects. At first they were pleasant - felt as though I could fly if i spread my arms, i got a solid hard on, my muscles relaxed. Shortly after, however I started feeling very weird. At first I couldn't get what was wrong, just everything and everybody started seeming very scary and menacing. Then my heart rate raced to the level when I was feeling pain in my chest, couldn't breathe properly and thought that i am having or that i will have a heart attack shortly. I could barely sleep that night. It was TERRIBLE to feel like dying. Next, during the following week the heart rate subsided and the desorientation/depersonalisation feelings almost dissapeared. However, proplems didn't stop there. I started worrying all the time about my health and my heart in particular. I was constantly thinking how fast it beats, was measuring my pulse multiple times per day and was getting readings like 90 or 100 bpm when my normal hr is around 70. This made me start exercising as i thought that if i had done smth to my heart by overdosing on mj i could undo it with diet and exercise. It worked. I stopped having anxiety attacks over my heart. Stopped thinking and noticing it for some weeks. Then something bad happened to me and i stopped exercising for some more weeks. AND THEN - anxiety came back as i got increased hr again, but this time coupled with high blood pressure like 160. I got scared again and took some medication against high bp. It was ok for a few days then yesterday, oh my god, somehow my bp managed to rice until it hit 213/100 with hr of 120. I felt almost if not the same like my first cannabis induced panic attack. This time i was even more scared and i felt super sick. I started taking medication against bp. Damn, just writing about that makes me sick again. In short, i called the er, they said continue taking med and go see a doc for examination. Almost the whoe day and night taking pills and feeling sick. Today i'm better but not cured and i'm still tsking meds. Bottom point: however they try to market mj as not dangerous, IT IS! I had never had any heart problems, maybe just some anxiety and now 3 and a half months after raking too much mj i can't still recover. Please help, if you had similar sufferings caused by weed, how did you cure yourself?

To all the people suffering from panic attacks due to weed use and not only - I undestood what is the cause of it all. Ok, if you read my post above, you know my story. So after my second panic attack that made me have very high blood pressure for 2 days I did some research and thought hard and I got the reason why this happened to me. It dawned on md that marijuana only brought up, wakened my inner fears that I must have had trough the whole of my life. I must have been predisposed to anxiety and when i thought about that i realized that all the time i was worried about an array of issues - job, health, relationship, hell even politics and this as the reason why mj brought a panic attack on me and then i had one more after 3 months (2 days ago). To overcome this me and you need to acknowledge fear as a signal from your subconscious that you need a change in your life and your attitude to life in general. Believe in something - luck, destiny, the power of good (vs evil), religion if you will (though i'm an atheist). Start loving yourself, stop the self blame. Try to see the good things in everything. This condition that we brought upon ourselves was the result of many years of self bashing and fear and distrust for everything you can't control. Deep inside of us we know what's wrong with us and thats why this fear reminds us that we must change - it could be addictions, suppressed anger, weight problems, etc.

Hi, I tried a little piece of a pot brownie and cookie and I had the worst panic attack of my life. I was throwing up, chills, hotness, heavy feeling in chest, eye drozy.. I'm not new to smoking but can you tell me what happened?? I've never had that happen to me. If you could reply here or please, I would like to know why!! Thanks. :)

Hi am 15 nearly 16 on Monday and I've smoked weed for so long I loved it so much and I went to my boyfriends in morecambe for about a week and half and came home on Tuesday 6th sep and I had 1 bong on a glass one though witch gets you more stoned,and after I felt like my body stopped my heart was going so fast kept going all shakey I was trying to watch telly to not think of it I was so scared I thought my life was gonna be over,I was scared to close my eyes but then I thought of it and my heart was beating for about 2 hour so fast but after abit I went to sleep next day I went back to school first day in year 11 and I felt fine and then when I finished I felt all werid again like panicky I just wanted to stop thinking of it cause it made me feel worse then I started get really werid tingles in my right hand it get so weird like a shock happened like 4 times then I went to bed and woke up fine today but then when I got home again it started again feel depressed and am only young so it scary to feel like this am just wondering how long do you think it will last feeing like this?i have learnt my lesson now and I will never touch weed again in my life,but before it was the best thing I have ever had couldn't go a day without it

I am going through the same things, it seems i cannot smoke any longer (even small amount) without the onset of panic, will i need some sort of anxiety drug to sort thia?

Just a opinion...but This may not have anything to do with weed...please have a Thyroid test done for Graves Disease...Hyper active thyroid..this happened to me as well...and it was Graves...it's worth a shot

Are you f*****g retarded???

DO NOT WORRY - THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY THE SAME TO ME, EXACTLY.. You did a better job of explaining it... dreamy, sharp.

I had it for around 4 months, and now its back to normal and life seems normal again, it was like i wasn't my own person, and was watching life through my own eyes.

i promise you it'll get better.

whenever i got out of breath, be it the gym, sex, running, ANYTHING bang it would trigger a panic attack again

DO NOT WORRY I PROMISE YOU - it'll be fixed,

p.s don't drink for a while, you will get the worst panic attack of your life. trust me
