so friday i took 80mg of vyvanse at like 10am. started feeling it a little after 11am then took 60 more mg. around came 6 o clock in the evening and i hardly felt the vyvanse anymore. i was with some friends about to smoke some weed and i wasnt planning on it that night but thought itd help with the insomnia i knew id have to face later on so i smoked it up.

so got high and went to a part around 9. i was pretty much all the way comedown at this point then at the party my friend decided to roll half a blunt (didnt have enough tree for a full one). we smoked it and i got high again. then some other people at the party came in the room we were in and rolled a blunt and said we could smoke it. i saw them rolling it and the weed looked really light green. i didnt ask what kind it was but after 4 big hits i was like the highest id ever been. which was good for a couple minutes...then i felt like i couldnt move or talk and i felt like i was slipping in and out of consiousness. then my heart started racing and my mind felt trapped in a dark scary place that i felt like i couldnt get out of and i felt like i was dying. but at the same time i was like "theres no way i can be dying" so i just kept telling myself that and made sure i didnt freak out, to avoid looking stupid at a party haha =p i made sure to be completely emotionless but i kept having little panic attacks like every 20 seconds and i felt nauseus at times. its like no matter how hard i would try to keep away from negatve thoughts id think about like dying or something like i couldnt control my thoughts completely.

then ofcourse the cops busting in 10 minutes later and bringing in dogs didnt help any better haha. sorry for such a long post but this has never happened to me. ive only been smoking for about 5 months and usually just on weekends so im thinking maybe its just bcause i dont smoke often? or was it the vyvanse because its an amphetamine, or do you think it was that guys weed was to intense for me? if you read this all and answe that would be amazing :)
 
I had to quit smoking pot for 10 years because of panic attacks. Now 10 years later I can smoke again and feel like I was 16 years old again. It's amazing. I don't know if its the high quality weed I get. Regardless weed is fabulous... When I smoked and got panic attacks I wanted to die. Good luck to you!

my friend is also prescibed vyvanse and whenever he smokes on top of it he tends to get panic attacks... he is a more then occasional smoker, probably 4-5 times a week but not everyday. he doesnt take the vyvanse when he knows hes going to smoke and doesnt experience any panic attacks then.

so my vote goes for the vyvanse causing the panic attacks.

So does mine, cannabis can certainly cause panic attacks, but amphetamines are much more likely to. The combination of the two will do it even more often.
 
if u havent been smoking for very long, or dont smoke very often, you could have just gotten very high and tweeked out a little. the first day i got outta jail, i came home and smoked a joint. i got so paranoid and had panic attacks, but its because i just got really high. but the vyv def had a effect here.
 
I think it was because you took a pretty high dose of Vyvanse with it. Even if the effects were coming down or had already gone away, the side effects can still linger. Like you know when you take too much amphetamines and the effects wear off but you still can't get to sleep. Anxiety is a side effects of amphetamines and it could have still been lingering. The marijuana would only make it worse.
 
yeah if i dont smoke for a while and then smoke i get panic attacks but then after a couple days i dont and its good

Right on brotha! Check out this -> :o:!:X -> :(8o -> :\:);):D -> <3 Those should be your emotions going round and round. Unless your able to catch <3 and keep hold of it then your in the right direction. But you don't want to start feeling :(
 
I know quite a few people who stopped smoking weed because of panic attacks. Not in combo with other things, just weed on it's own.
I thinks there are quite a few people who are just not made for smoking weed. (not suggesting that you are one) just try again and see what happens...
 
I find I only get it on the come up, like 20 mins worth, I just close my eyes and watch the CEV's it chills me right the fuck out.
 
I have only had a good experience with weed twice. Every other time I have had major anxiety and basically one long panic attack. I will give you an example how bad it is:

I was at my house, during a family get together. I dropped 40mg of Valium, 50mg Oxycodone, and was drinking beers. I was feeling great (well, I was majorly fucked up, but still walking, talking and drinking). My aunt lights up a blunt, great gear that my uncle grows for his personal use (and gives some to family and friends and stuff if they want). I took ONE hit from that, and I had to go lay down. It immediately replaced all the relaxed, sedated feelings from the Valium and Oxy with pure panic and distress.

Weed for me is evil. I wish it weren't, but there you have it.
