A while back I found a vape cart on the lawn of my apartment complex. I assumed it was probably weed since I live in a legal state and dispensaries are everywhere. It wouldn't work in my battery, so I opened it up to dab and then within about 5-10 minutes I started to dissociate heavily. I ended up calling 911 because I became worried I would lose consciousness and forget to breathe. I did not test this substance, but after playing Dr Google and Phone-a-Friend we're reasonably certain that I accidentally smoked PCP.
I don't have the spoons for a full trip report, but I did okay, just had a little panic attack and spent the night hanging out in the ER. My concern is that I'm having just enough lingering aftereffects to trigger my anxiety disorder. It's less and less every day, I think. It's like, tingling, warmth, and slight intermittent pain all concentrated on the right side of my body. I know a lot of this is just anxiety and I'm trying to be gentle with myself, as there doesn't seem to be anything physically wrong with me. I can talk, I'm about as coordinated as I ever was, and the sense of numbness hasn't resulted in any loss of sensation. The anxiety isn't even interfering with my daily tasks. It's just been like 5ish days since I smoked the stuff and I'm getting concerned that I'm not "normal" yet.
I'm currently trying to take a bit of a break from weed to see if that can accelerate my healing, but does anybody have any advice for stuff I can do to make sure I give myself the best chance at a speedy recovery? I'm making a point of staying hydrated as well as eating more leafy greens than I normally do. I'm in therapy once a week for general mental health concerns and processing some old trauma, so she's well aware of what happened and how disturbed I am about it. Do I just need to be patient?
