Weed & Cocaine, why am i feeling like this?

i have been an everyday weed smoker for five years and used coke 3-4 days a week for the past in my opinion it is never a good idea to smoke weed after doing some coke for some reason it makes me notice that my heart rate in high even more so than before i smoked the bong load. in my opinion you need to drink some beer until you are starting to buzz or even start to get drunk and then smoke the pot. remember san diego has got the best herb and coke and i had definitely experience with both of them

i just want to say that cocaine just f*cked up my life. i have been smoking weed for years now, i've taken Ecstasy, LSD, salvia and i was fine until now.

last week my friends gave me a line and i was high and happy on it. i then had a few joints until all of a sudden i felt my heart was going to explode. i went into panic attack, rushed myself to the hospital. i obviously didnt tell them i took coke, but i had them check my heart which was fine.

however, now my hands, legs, neck and eyes hurt because i damaged my nerves. whenever i touch a joint or even a ciggarette i start to shake and my heart rate goes through the roof. ill probably never be able to smoke again and i will suffer from this in later life even more.

dont ever, ever take cocaine. and if you're doing it for the first time, DO NOT MIX IT WITH weed. im paying the price you wont have to if you're smart.

It's me again. Well, I think it's almost safe to say that I'm 99% back to normal. Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I of 4 years broke up in August last year... this problem of mine affected my relationship so bad that I let it get out of control and didn't care enough to try and fix it. So I moved, and have not touched coke since November 2007... I am done with it for good now. It ruined such a great thing I had so I absolutely hate it now. I can smoke weed again without anxiety and I barely have any chest problems... once in a while I do though. I still feel a bit detached but I'm still fighting those feelings and I do believe one day they will be gone. My advice is, this whole journey was NOT worth it. If anyone is reading this contemplating doing cocaine, I hope that I can convince at least one person to avoid it because it's not worth it at all... Like I said, I lost what could have been my soulmate and future life over this. It's sad, but I have to move on and take what I can from this experience. I hope you all can as well. Wishing you all the best in life and wise choices,
Jen

i have been a cronic weed user for about 2 years smoking just abbout whenever. then as things went on i stepped into coke. i first tried it when i was fifteen it was heavily laced on a joint and it was such a good high. i started snorting it a few times but my heart started racing and i got really paranoid and was high too and thought i was dyin...it wasn't fun. after that, it took me about 1 week to start smoking again. since then i havnt done coke but now when i smoke i get anxious and this never used to happen. its like doing coke messed up my getting high.

I think that you're having trouble coming to the conclusion that the drugs are no good, even weed. It's gonna take a long time for you to fully recover from all the havoc that the drugs played on your system. I would give yourself at least a year & a half of being sober before you start to feel normal again. Your depressions will slowly go away over that time period too. It's hard to quit drugs. That's for sure. But staying on drugs is for sure even harder. Good luck.

*Former Drug User

Someone that isn't me, smoked weed heavily for about 8yrs... he used cocaine pretty frequently over 3yrs. This guy thinks that the marijuana and amphetamine use has trigged anxiety and bipolar disorder, as his symptoms seem to fade when he is not using.

He thinks you should kick the drugs, delete all the phone numbers from your phone... lock yourself in the house.... get good music, food, and maybe an understanding friend or relative. He thinks you should take care of yourself, buy vitamins and detoxifiers, get a haircut, change something about yourself, clean... find some form of organization or religion... create boundaries in your life

i smoke weed alot but never touched cocain until last night. it was totally by accident some ass hole gave us laced weed. This had to be the most tramatic thing thats ever happened to me. Its been 24hours i feel...wierd still. Is there anything i should be concerned about?

Hi, im 22 years old. Have smoked weed regularly since i was about 14. i started doing coke when i was around 17/18 and did it more and more. Then other drugs such as ketmine and mdma came into my life when i started going to dance raves and staying up all night.

i started to notice over the last year or so that my heart rate gets quicker and my chest tighter and get shortness of breath which i ignored.

last night i smoked a joint of weed after doing coke and i had my 1st panic attack, it was horrible and i thought i was gonna die. im glad this happened now when im 22 and not later in life when it could have been more life threatening but it has put me off it completely.

im going to find it real hard to quit as all my friends do drugs, and not just my friends so many people in london do drugs its no wonder i got caught up in it.

dont touch drugs. and definately dont mix different drugs, it will get you in the end.

I was involved heavily in drugs including cocaine, benzo's, and oxycontin and hade horrible problems with anxiety and just life in general. I went to treatment and now attend AA meetings and have been sober for over a year. The change is my life are remarkable. I have a great job, spend alot of time with my family and have a wonderful girlfriend. I now can actually pursue my dreams and goal in life instead of watching life just pass me by. In my oppinion drugs will cause you nothing but trouble. I have escaped that life but many are still out there trying to find a solution without removing what is causing the problems: drugs. I had to change my entire life including my friends which is hard to do at 25. i will tell you that I am so happy now and I would rather die that go back to that lifestyle. I just hope I can keep this up and stay sober forever! If I can do it anyone can do it I was in a ruff place and never thought I could give up my demons but I did. Good luck to all and God bless!

i felt like that, but the only difference is that im male and i didnt have a g'f at the time, but anyway, when i was feeling depressed, suicidal, i read about cocaine and i seen that if you sniff it, you loose interest in friends family and life, so i sniffed some, and it worked, i lost interest in friends, family, and life, and i lost all my emotions, so atleast i can live a better life, and just pretend i do show interest in some things, but i dont recommend taking cocaine, i recommend doing it the healthy way, see a doctor

I didn't read through ever post but I read through about half of them and it seems no one mentions panic attacks yet. Panic attacks can cause all those things you listed. It helps to recognize when you're having a panic attack and tell yourself that your alright, your not dying and everything will be fine in a little bit. I used to get panic attacks everyday which I blame mostly on coke, but I smoke weed daily so that might have something to do with it too.

I think the answer to a lot of your guys problems is that weed can and does cause depression. It can sometimes be used to cure depression in the short term, but it can actually cause depression with extended use. Weed is a depressant. It will make you exclude yourself from normal activities and alienate your friends. Weed makes you sit on a couch will your life rolls by in front of your eyes. People use weed to calm themselves down or to get a body and mind high. Either way weed makes us think about our problems constantly even though we might no dwell on them. Weed is great when your on it, food tastes better, funny sh*t becomes funnier, and all that good stuff, but its the time that your off it when you come to the realization that your really wasting your life. There are a few amazing multitaskers out there that can smoke and have a full life. But for the majority of us, weed really affects us.

Hi,

I'm glad I came across your original post because I had a situation like that happen to me and arose so many questions that have been almost impossible to answer because nobody I know can relate.

Briefly first, for the attention-deficit: Why is smoking weed a miserable experience ever since I overdid it on coke and started having heart palpitations and panic attacks?

My situation is such: I was a heavily addicted to coke when I was 18/19 and it was destroying my body and mind, giving my horrible psychosis, and then I overdosed on it. Being a gross addict though I continued to use, much less frequently, for 6 more months until finally it became clear to me that cocaine is for losers.
Since my OD, I had been experiencing panic attacks! chest pains and pressures! and heart palpitations! I was convinced I was on the verge of death at any given moment. Smoking weed, which once I loved and had been doing 6 years before I even touched cocaine, was becoming less and less pleasant (at the onset at least) because it was enhancing my feelings of imminent doom. Although weed always used to give me mild paranoia, it now becoming intolerable and the pain it gave to my heart was disturbing. I figured for so long it was to blame on the chemicals added to it or because smoking is hard on the lungs. But it happened so often I started to question the medicinal and relaxing qualities of marijuana.

Now that I have come across your post I can piece together the puzzle:
Ahem, ahem, my latest theory:
Cocaine can cause anxiety problems in people who have underlying anxiety, like me, who is genetically predisposed to anxiety disorder.
Marijuana can be either beneficial or dangerous to people with anxiety, depending simply on how the person reacts to it.
So... I must have had anxiety triggered by coke, or perhaps by the my traumatic drug-related incident. With this new mentality I must have become unable to enjoy marijuana the same way.
It makes so much sense finally.

I can finally stop thinking I'm dying ALL the time.

Hello everyone,

Back on April 15th 2009 I smoked some laced weed. I'm now sure it was laced with cocaine due to the fact I finished my bag last night, and the the anxiety and impending doom, tingling lips all came back into effect.

I was wondering about how long did it take for everyone to get back to normal after their episode.

(I've never done cocaine prior, and I was a heavy smoker, lighting up a few times a day)

I've already told myself, that everything stops right now...not even a half hour away from 4/20.

My life is more important....I went to the hospital the first time because I had no clue what was happening, for now I will take things easy and let my body get back into rhythm.
