I have anxiety problems, which i have benzo scripts for.

Was wondering if anyone with anxiety that usually can't handle high amounts of weed has ever tried this.

With high amounts of weed i usually end up in this mind fuck, anxiety, zoned out, laying in bed until i fall asleep.
 
im surprised nobody has answered this yet...
well yes, as you would expect, benzo's get rid of almost everything unpleasant (if not everything) while you are high...
although it probably wont help with the mind fuck and laying in bed till you fall asleep.
 
this is a repost i just put in a differnt thread but it seems relavent here (with a slight edit)

I smoked weed everyday for 13 years. Then recently about 6 months ago, i started to get panic attacks while high, like all of the sudden i would feel really hot and my heart would feel like it was pounding and my arms and face would begin tingling. I dunno if i have just toasted my brain's abilty to get blazed or what. Now i still smoke but like only one lil puff every few hours when i do it. I prolly blaze this way about 3-4 times a week.

I used to go through an ounce of regs a week or an ounce of nugs every month. Now with my current anxiety on weed i cant even smoke regs, i get instant anxiety with no good effects. I can smoke nugs but like i said only very small amounts at a time and a quarter will now last me for like two months.

You would think the logical answer would be to just stop getting blazed if it gives you anxiety but i love it to much or i loved it i should say. I really wish i could do it like before i really miss feeling relaxed with out a care in the world.

I now have a script for Valium to be taken as needed for anxiety. Occasionally i will smoke and start to feel some anxiety, so i pop half of a Valium. As soon as the Valium comes on i no longer feel teh weed high at all. Am i just incapable of enjoying weed now? will it ever go back to the way it used to be?

hmn that kinda sucks.

My benzos arent as strong as valium. Imma give it a try tonight.
 
man they go great together...the antianxiety kit! but be careful with addiction to benzos....medical or not medical, a human being must not depend from a chemical substance to reach happiness
 
it's probably the crappiest recreational one. clorazepate


Tried it last night....it worked well. Didn't have that much anxiety as normal and it only lasted a few minutes till it dissapeared. Was nice :)
 
i smoke about a 1/4 a week... and i take lorazepam after feeling woozy for a while... it increases my peace at my center... hard to explain... but its like i go deaf and have no worries for about 2 hours... i can still function... i just feel so carefree and happy.
 
My boyfriend has anxiety, and if we do smoke weed together, he has a few drags at a time and takes it easy. For him it can go either of 2 ways, he can get chilled and munchie and actually stoned, or he can get panicky and anxious. I'm sure if you have some benzos on hand you'll be fine.
 
I have anxiety but I've never taken any benzos for it. So I have no idea what they do when you take them or what they'd be like on herb.

What worked for me was just smoking a very small amount of herb say like a single hit from a one hitter or a very small bowl and seeing how that worked and what it was like for me.

If I got any anxiety I'd just tell myself that it was just the herb and that it would eventually pass and it did.

Over time I'd just become more used to the effects of herb and I got less and less anxious on it as I became a total pothead and I developed a tolerance to it.

I'm not saying this will work for you but it's something you can try, just smoke a VERY small amount and see what it does for you and don't go over it once you've figured out which level works for you.

There are people who are going to say how if you have an anxiety disorder that you shouldn't be smoking or using any drugs at all.
 
benzos can cut through the psychological head fuck of just about anything but as people have previously stated DO NOT get hooked as they are one of the nastiest to get hooked on
Otherwise if your in a head fuck situation of just about anything benzos'll save the day. They can cut through just about anything psychedelic or mind expandingI have them handy and like to call them my safety net. But I still dont smoke weed - even with benzos cos it just leaves me feeling way to slow. I skip the paranoia and anxiety but just end up feeling brain mind and soulless.
So be carefull and dont let them become the habit.
 
The benzo and cannabis combo works well. But can be a little too care free for my liking and the benzos out live the cannabis by quite a long shot i find.

I have an anxiety disorder but still smoke. If its a situation with lots of people thats when im most likely to get anxious. But in general my rule of thumb for cannabis seems to go like this:

I start off small. So initially ill take maybe 1 bong toke for like the first hour. It seems to me the anxiety associated with cannabis is most intense upon first getting high. So that one bong toke will get me baked and if i do become anxious well ok its only 1 hit and it will subside soon. I find as the high goes on the anxiety subsides and im able to now smoke more. So iam able to smoke just as much as others would, i just have to initially start smaller and once iam accustom to the feeling, then i can go to whatever intensity.

If you do use benzo'z while smoking id try and find a fast and short acting one like triazolam.

I have used benzo's to help me out with bad psychedelic trips as well, which are far more an intense anxiety than any bad cannabis high. Nothing worse than a 6+ hour long panic attack with visuals haha. So they can be helpful, but if you have to take a drug just to use another drug, personally i dont see that being a very logical habit. Maybe once and a while, but thats it.

my weed high lasts about 4 hours
my benzo lasts about 2 hours

dont know if this how y'all do it... but i rip... enjoy the bud... when i get soberish i bomb it... i'll take 1 or 1/2 of my benzo under the tongue... about 5 min later... im at a new level of RELAXED. no pains... i feel great... and everything is something to laugh at... dare i say euphoric.

im NEVER alone when i use any drugs except for my sleep meds... other than that i have someone there... yes... everyday. well close to everyday.
 
Weed and benzos = awesome.

Some people experience and anxiety and paranoia on weed while others dont. If you are someone who experiences anxiety on weed, benzos allow you to smoke as much as you want and not experience the negative side effects. Its great.

thats interesting. I guess you dotn smoke too often if your high lasts 4 hours. i definitely dont get high for 4 hours lol. and im surprised your benzo only lasts 2 hours. i was checkin out the equivelency charts of benzo's(http://www.mental-health-today.com/rx/benzo.htm) and it seems Clorazepate has a pretty long half life. Everyone is different though
 
I've had some heady nugs that have left me buzzed for over 4 hours before. Of course the initial high is only about 2-3 hours but then i feel effects for about 4-6 hours.
 
If you have a choice, try to go for indica dominant strains. Indo always calms down any extra anxiety for me, it is the sativas which I can sometimes have problems with. And anything below chronic is never that good for anxiety either.

I always thought Indo/outdo referred to whether it was grown indoors or outdoors. I didn't think Indo meant Indica.

Also is there a way to differentiate between the two by looking at it, smelling it, or tasting it? Or is the only way to tell by knowing the grower or getting information from the grower?
