Some people do not enjoy weed anymore after difficult trips, it kinda changes how it affects them. Many just develop panic attacks whenever they try to smoke.

Get off the SSRIs. They will do nothing to help with LSD induced anxiety, paranoia, HPPD or any of that, I don't know this from experience, but I do know that the one treatment option for my HPPD that I would NEVER consider viable was SSRIs/messing with my serotonin system further. Benzodiazepines helped TREMENDOUSLY, the dependency that comes with them is not nice at all though, I would advise against daily use, just take them when you actually feel the anxiety, paranoia, other side-effects you associate with LSD. Personally I had HPPD for 1.5 years and still another year later my vision isn't back to where it was and Depersonalization I had until I got on Clonazepam at the 0.5 year mark. This was caused by LSD and I never believed I would get better. But I mostly did. I never believed I could use drugs that are particularly taxing on mental health again, but I became a Mephedrone addict for over a year and managed to stay mostly sane even with incredibly low neurotransmitter levels and sleep deprivation. Weed still gives me very strong visuals ever since LSD, but I've managed to incorporate these into my expectations of Cannabis, so I avoid it early in the day, wait until the evening when I can enjoy the visuals (to some extent...any visual disturbances do still give me tingles on my cheeks, which is the way my anxiety tends to manifest physically).
OK, that was a lot of information, lol. Basically, I got better, and so will you. You just need time, and a HEALTHY lifestyle. Quit weed for a while, and all drugs, exercise, sleep regularly, eat well, the basics to be a healthy person. Get off SSRIs, but stay on the benzos if you feel you NEED to. After a month or two off the weed I'm sure you'll be able to smoke it at least occasionally again. You're 17...So Cannabis still feels pretty important to you, I've been there...But believe me, Cannabis is nice, but it's not everything, and I think you'll gain a great deal of perspective if you can take a full month or two off it, plus your tolerance will go down and you'll get REALLY baked!

The same thing happened to me, how could something so fun as acid go so bad?
and then smoked some chronic ganja on top.
lost it for a few days, and took 6 months to realise that smoking pot was never going to be the same again. its about 12 years later now, i still use valium since then and can share a joint with a good friend in the right setting, but no way can i smoke pot to enhance life or just before a movie or tv show, pot is just one big anxiety attack for me, unless i tread very carefully

The effects will subside
In my late teens and early twenties, I was a daily pot smoker. I also did other drugs when available. One I particularly enjoyed was acid. I had tripped several times. One of my friends went to Colorado to get a fresh sheet straight from the maker. I walked into his apartment and was handed eight or nine hits of FRESH white blotter. Between six of us we took fifty hits. I was tripping in fifteen minutes. Was peeking shortly thereafter. I went insane twice on the two highest peeks. The crazy part was I knew I had totally lost it!
I totally quit my partying for a month or so after that. I moved out of town to an older relatives house and really dove into God and religion. Things didn't work out there so I moved back home.
I started drinking and smoking pot again. The major difference was anytime I smoked pot, I would start tripping, peeks, tracers etc. I knew why and basically came to terms with my situation. I knew that if I was going to smoke pot, I would need to be in the right environment or I would just have to leave it alone. Needless to say, I didn't smoke nearly as much as I used to.
Eventually, the effects that were added from the acid trip almost totally diminished. Just give it time and understand what to expect when you do smoke and you will be fine.
On a side note, I have a seventeen year old son and if I found out he was smoking, I would be terribly disappointed. Like others have said in this post before me, there are plenty of other activities you should be spending your time on. Your years of being a teen are almost over... You need to spend this time more wisely!

I was probably about 17 when purple microdots were quite prevalent.
Oddly enough someone said smoke some of this (weed) to calm the rising panic. But once the weed, cleared it was the best trip.
I can't smoke weed because It always causes paranoia for me.
I also remember sitting on a pavement on a high dose of 2CT-2 a five in the morning and it was cold and dark and I didn't know where the hell I was. But that was many years ago.
You will get over it - I never had 'flashbacks' - maybe its an urban myth ?

Maybe you should try acid again in a good setting. It could be it embedded something in a part of your brain only acid really has access to. Just a theory.
I would strongly recommend against doing this. It's not worth the risk if the OP has another panic attack and their condition worsens.
