panic attacks from smoking weed

I used to smoke everyday then stopped recently for a few months... Then one night my freind got some hash and i ripped a bowl like i used to (not a good idea) and got soo high i started to tweak and had a wicked bad panic attack.... im sure the vyv didnt help nut sometimes getting tooo high can cause alot of anxiety... imo
 
The Vyvanse probably made it worse, but weed can do that on its own. Ugh I hate the feeling you're talking about... can't count how many times I've felt it. It's a very imprisoning feeling, and for me, a prison-like feeling. Grey and Maximum-security slaughterhouse style.
 
well i smoked friday (not taking vyvanse for a week) and i took smaller hits and tried not smoking as much. i felt a panic attack come on once but then it went away and i started to enjoy feeling my heart race haha. then smoked the rest of the night and everything was great.
i think it was the combination of vyvanse and not having smoked for almost a month.
 
quite a few people i know don't smoke just because they get panic attacks when they do. i've had a few myself, but i've developed ways of dealing with it when it does happen.

i've noticed, however, that once you do have a panic attack while on pretty much anything, it seems to follow you around until that fear is conquered.

what OP said about starting to enjoy the racing heart - that's the trick i use. i just tell myself i'm really stoned and this is a good thing. you're not going to die from smoking weed no matter how much it feels like you are. ;)

i keep a couple xanax in my stash box for emergencies, though.
 
also... what all the tripping guides say about changing things - your location, the lighting, etc, works wonders when you're starting to panic on the ganja. you've just got to get your mind to change gears and your body will follow.

yes i totally agree about how it "follows you". ever since that night i had those panic attacks when i think about getting high or remember i time i was high i almost feel like a panic attack is about to happen. now i have this fear of them i think. but last time i did conquer it pretty good. ive never tried changing lighting or location but if i feel a panic attack coming on i will definetly try that
 
I'd consider panic attacks and certain psychotic episodes to be some of the worst feelings in life. But for some reason I keep smoking weed every day, and 90% of the time I don't enjoy it (totally different from when I was more of a newbie). Especially if I'm on a stimulating drug, I sometimes feel panicky like you do just thinking about it.

Having zopiclone (fast-acting benzo-like), lorazepam (benzo), and seroquel (antipsychotic) near me can comfort me, even if I don't take them. Although the idea of taking one of these is very unpleasant and seems risky if I'm on drugs with psychedelic properties (can be any, from Sativa to 5-HTP), but once the benzos kick in, I just accept whatever the benzos do and it almost never goes bad. I don't use Seroquel atm. Hope I helped a little...

Why continue to do something that you don't enjoy 90% of the time? If I were you I'd just stop doing it. It wouldn't be worth the 10% of the time I enjoyed it.

P.S. I'll be getting back to you soon

I've been telling myself 'It's time to stop smoking weed' but I keep coming back to it, even though it's considerably less addictive and dependence-forming than some of the other ones (...benzos...) Basically it's either boredom or mild panic/ minor hallucinations followed by boredom, paranoia and anxiety, depending on the strain and amount. When I see the weed I usually can't help but smoke all of it, although I will usually stop mid-bowl if it gets bad. Then I'll finish it and repack 8)
 
I used to smoke hash and some sensi weed between ages 21-27ish and it was daily. It got me thru University and I used to meet up with 1-2 close friends late 10pm+ after everyone was done work and school .... we all worked and payed for our own schooling. Work hard, play harder.
U smoked hash in the basement of HQ for a major Canadian Bank in Downtown Toronto with a VP. Great custy too.

I would have at least 7 g's has on my personal at all times. Weed, smoked it all the secoind I got it. Regardless of amount. Quarter - gone. Shared with all and every 1 of my buddies. all. Even gave away grams. This is the way it USED to be.

Then, after getting back from Amsterdamn , I quit. WHY?

the dealers were switchin to hydro and chemical laced CRAZY insane shit and it made me very paranoid, i no longer enjoyed it.

originally smoking made me very very relaxed , deep thinking, focused, hungry and calm. i cannot even imagine that feeling again. At 280mg oxy per day now for my legit pain I used to get near that smooth hash high , but only when I took like 6 percs and a few beers. Close but no cigar.

At 40, and more mg's of oxy my euphoria was there and slowly it has all bout gone....

man do I miss those days of playin Super Mariop Bros on Nintendo after burning a nice G of Moroccan hash.
 
i think its dumb to bump your own thread but since my question still goes along with this topic i thought itd be pointless to make a new thread

after taking vyvanse how long should you wait to smoke weed? well in my situation atleast since i experienced panic attacks last time. i took vyvanse yesterday, is it safe to smoke tonight or should i give it another day or so?
 
I have gotten panic attacks from smoking weed that triggered an LSD trip. Indica can cause anxiety for me but Sativa will relax me & its enjoyable & fun times for me.
 
ive gotten panic attacks and anxiety from weed before.

i think the vyvanse had something to do with it too.

one night i smoked some weed with blonde hash on top of it. only one bowl. and i got the worst panic attack ive ever had. it lasted a long fuckin time, and it was really bad. i had smoked a large amount of meth about 1 or 2 days before that. i know the meth was mainly the reason for the panic attack/anxiety.
 
yeah it sucks. some people can put any amp with their weed and have a great time but i guess not for me
so does anybody know if it would be safe to smoke tonight since i took vyvanse yesterday?
