Hey everyone from reading a lot of posts on here seems there is loads of people mainly youngsters who are getting prescribed all sorts of sh*t from so called (doctors) for panic attacks anxiety,well to be blunt lot of people saying oh i had one puff on a bong a day for two months now i am having panic attacks all the time and need prescribed meds (lot more harmful and addictive) than weed might i add look on net do your homework ,to be honest it seems like lunacy having smoked weed for 14 years lived in amsterdam for 4 so have tried plenty of mind benders only ever had 1 panicky moment 5 mins later gone never to be seen again whats with all these people on here never out of all my friends has anyone gone to doctors and got them selves some magic pills not in england ,doctors would tell you to get a grip on yourselfs and sort it out you smoked a little bit of green for godsake not pcp or crack ,after giving up weed if you are still having attacks then its not the weed its you ,to the youngsters on here most of you are going to be worse of taking that prescribed sh*t just give yourself a chance you,ll see your body is at the age where you are undergoing chemical and physical cahnges anyhow adding more drugs to an already delicate sytem is just going to make thing worse in the long run.
well, put yourself into the mind of a youngster, who does not know the effects and so on.
That is one of the main reasons of this site, ask questions about things you don't know anything about!
this site has helped my life completely because i asked about something i wasn't sure about.

hi kovu i understand this site is for information but that is nt my point if you reread my post all im saying is there seems to be a lot of people on this site are on some hardcore meds prescribed to them by doctors who havnt got a clue about cannabis addiction, im sure there is genuine cases of people on here who do need medication ,but for general cannabis withdrawal no doctor in this country( england) in their right mind would prescribe a teenager with what is basically a liquid cosh to help them with their symptons from weed withdrawal ,absolute insanity in my mind what happens when these people start getting addicted to their medication the whole thing goes full circle again then what back to the doctors for some pills to help them get of the pills.
oh my god.. i'm so sorry, i didn't catch that that was your point %-) sorry
i thought you were attempting to be mean to people here just because they seek help
I'll just not say anymore, as this is definitely not my field of expertise 8-|

Hey guys. What all the panic attack stuff is all about is that some people are either hypersensitive to cannabis or just react differently than what is typical. Some longer term users are noticing they are developing side effects they never had before. This is normal. Some people can eat shellfish all their lives and then develop an intolerance to them - I know this is true because it happened to me, much to my dismay. When you think about this in terms of the different chemistries people have - think of all the people with deadly peanut allergies, for example - it is not surprising that there are those out there who can't handle cannabis.
Unfortunately I have used cocaine habitually for the past 4 years. I use carefully because as everyone knows cocaine gives terrible anxiety attacks and I do my best to avoid those by using in moderation. Still using all day but managing to moderate as to avoid an anxiety attack. Attacks are the most frightening thing I have ever experienced in my life. You really do feel like you are going to die. I managed to avoid these attacks for the most part only having about 4 attacks in the 4 years I have used. And about a week ago I had a minor attack while trying to sleep and that was enough for me to realize my love affair with cocaine has to come to an end, anxiety attacks ARE that scary. I don't ever want to feel like that ever again.
Anyway, for the first time in my life I bought some pot. I don't like pot, it makes me feel heavy and all I want to do is sit in a corner and not talk to anybody and I am anti-social on it. But lots of people say pot is a great, SAFE way to ween yourself off coke so I decided this would be a great idea for me. I even bought a pipe today because my attempt at rolling a joint ended in total failure.
But now after reading all these posts on panic attacks from marijuana use I guess the first batch of pot I just bought is going completely to waste because I am terrified of marijuana now. THe whole point for me was avoiding panic attacks not triggering them. SO thanks to everyone who posted about panic attacks, you have all ensured I will not turn into a pot head and I will quit coke cold turkey. I have to.

Maybe. Maybe not. My initial reaction is get off the coke and use whatever you need to get free completely. Anxiety attacks are in you head.
