I've been reading these posts and it is encouraging to know that I'm not the only one with weird head problems after smoking K2. I thought I should join and describe my experience. The particular blend I smoked was "Pink".
I've only smoked K2 once, but it was a large amount. I've only tried weed once before and haven't had other drugs. When I smoked K2, I did not feel anything at first so I kept smoking more and more (I know, n00b, right?). Anyway. When it hit me, it hit me hard. I got an awful panic attack trip with my heart racing and the front of my head burning while I paced in circles thinking I was going to die. The whole thing subsided in about an hour and I came down.
Later that night, I felt it come back and hit me again while I was at work. I started going into a panic attack again and I've never had them previous to smoking K2. I felt disoriented for a couple of days after that, but then I felt fine.
3 weeks after I smoked, I woke up in the middle of the night with the craziest panic attack yet. It felt just like when I smoked it. My head burned and my heart raced. I quickly went outside and paced around like a crazy person when my neighbors called an ambulance for me.
At the hospital, all of my blood work checked out fine, the EKG checked out fine, a CAT scan checked out, and even an EEG checked out fine. They then decided I was having plain ol' anxiety attacks so they gave me Lorazapam. Lorazapam worked great in the sense that I didn't give a shit about anything, let alone how I felt, but it didn't help my symptoms. It would usually make me feel worse, so I stopped taking it.
The past two months have been a nightmare:
* I get night sweats
* I'm constantly dis-coordinated. Like the feeling you get when you stay up all night.
* I can't smoke, drink, have caffeine, or foods with too much sodium.
* I constantly have a pressure on my forehead.
* I get wicked migraines in my temples by my ears. So bad that it makes me sick.
* I get numbness and tingles like my hands have fallen asleep.
* It gets worse if I've had a lack of sleep.
* I find it harder to remember things.
* I have chest pains pretty often.
I've never experienced any of this prior to smoking and I've been to the doctor more times in the past two months than I have my whole life.
This whole thing sucks balls because I did it at my bachelor party and I ruined my honeymoon and the start of my marriage. I have pretty good insurance and I'm going to see a neurologist soon to see if they can find anything. If anything shows up that is helpful, I'll definitely let you guys know.
