weed, panic attacks, withdrawl, depression and anxiety and restlessness

good luck too you tooo

Thanks
I am getting a little better every day. The panic stopped being as bad after I fasted on water for a day. Now when I feel the panic coming I drink a glass of water and go walk around outside. I also don't eat anything until I feel close to normal again.

im feeling the same but im not a regular smoker i only smoked three times in my life i feel numb and my heart starts pounding real hard, it feels lik nothing is real srry for no advice i need some myself.

hey jayharry,
Hang in there. I am feeling okay now after a few weeks. I have heard of quite a few people having this kind of reaction lately after smoking weed. I think maybe people are doctoring it with something unnatural. Chamomile tea and Kava Kava helped a lot. You can get the tea at the grocery store and Kava Kava at an herb store. Just try to stay calm and keep reminding yourself it will go away soon. Make sure you drink enough water too. Good luck.

thank u old_hippie im kind of feeling better water really help and sleeping and sometimes distracting my mind now i have faith tht it will go away thank u!!

i am doing ok i have done 5 weeks now lucky i am on sleeping tablets so i have had no problems sleeping

Hey jayharry and tinaxx65, glad you guys are doing better! I'm happy for you. I'm doing pretty good myself.
I've been doing a mental exercise of mentally visualizing pushing the anxiety away. I just imagine it's solid and I imagine pushing it away with my hands. It seems to be working pretty good. Been very careful with my diet too, trying to eat healthy.

alright thxz but after lik three weeks i feel kind if weird but a lil better, im stupid enough to do t again but it was only one pull in... tht day i felt weirder i feel kinda better but ik it will leave in a couple of weeks but i can sleep alot but my heart starts pounding hard by time but it leaves i calm down thxz alot

Sorry to hear even long time users having problems.  I'm at about 40 years and I've never had anxiety or panic attacks.  It calms me down when nothing else will and if I live to 70 I hope I have a garden in my closet.  It's more therpeutic than smoking it.

Alcohol I stopped 30 years ago.  Grew up in an alcoholic family and I was partying hard back at around 28 y.o..  I told myself at about 12 years old I will never be a drunk.  I just walked away from it and never have missed it.  I guess we all have our crosses to bear.

Honestly, straight is the best way to go through life.  You can have fun without a crutch.  But weed will be in and out of my life as long as it treats me right.  I'm a pretty light user these days. 

You may benefit by reading about 'cognitive therapy'. There are several books on this subject. It explains that we choose our thoughts and how we can change the thoughts we choose. A lot of weed dependency has to do with the mind and so it is fitting to have tools to change one's thinking to something more desirable - especially while going through withdrawal symptoms. Prayer is always helpful especially prayers giving thanks for support and guidance already received. If you feel unwilling to change, it is suitable to pray for willingness. If you feel stubborn to change or to learn new ways of living pray for a willingness to learn and for support in new ways of living and importantly, work on self forgiveness. If you don't want to forgive yourself pray for willingness to forgive and the know how to forgive yourself. Pray silently and constantly if you have to. Eventually you come to realise that you’ve advanced in all the areas you have requested advancement in.  And please keep posting so we may benefit by your experiences along the path whatever they may be. :O)

Weed is only an aspirin. You are just self medicating with poison to your body. Seek the help of a psychiatrist and psychotherapy. You also may consider detox and a naturopathic practitioner's advice on healthy eating, alternative treatments that are less toxic than pharmaceutical meds..

Wow, nice book lol j/k... I've been smoking weed for 30 years, never once have I had a panic attack so I'm having a hard time relating, sounds to me that there's another serious issue that you need to see a doctor about, some kind of anxiety disorder. I mean we've all had moments where we felt 'paranoid' but nothing like what you're describing.

As for feeling depressed and/or feeling like you can't have fun doing the things you always loved doing before...How long has it been since you've smoked weed? Because that's one of the withdrawal symptoms when you quit, but depending on the person and how long/much they've smoked, it can be longer term, it can last for MONTHS after you've quit. BUT it is temporary, you just need to retrain yourself to enjoy things and have fun again with a clear head, not while high. I know exactly what you're talking about, I've been there trust me. It is temporary. But when you keep starting and stopping, you're not giving your mind and body a chance to get past all that. So make your choice...stop or not...

Speaking from many years of experience...your comment is completely ignorant.
