Hello guys, today I will be addressing an issue with you all about taking drugs with very bad anxiety. I have a friend that used to smoke a LOT of marijuana, but anymore he can't smoke marijuana because it makes him have extremely bad panic attacks. He used to not have anxiety, but one time after smoking spice he developed a very bad anxiety after and extremely bad trip where he had seizures and says he witnessed his soul leave his body and now freaks out when taking things. He even will take a Xanax and freak out thinking he is going to OD and have a panic attack, until the Xanax sets in then he is okay. He once took a 7.5 hydrocodone that the doctor had prescribed him and the feeling it gave him in his chest made him have panic attacks because he though this heart was stopping, on only one 7.5 (lol), sometimes even drinking alcohol makes him have panic attacks. But lately he has been able to drink okay without freaking out but hasn't tried any other drugs (he doesn't want to smoke weed because he believes it induces anxiety). Now that you have an idea how bad his anxiety is ill get to the real question. He is going to a 4 day festival in a few months and is looking for drugs to enhance his experience (preferably something you can till have sex on) . He would really like to try ecstasy but is afraid of multiple things, overheating in the hot sun with many people around, overdosing, and getting something laced. He would also like to take a small amount of shrooms, not enough to trip, but enough to have euphoria, but he is also very scared he will experience anxiety and have a bad trip and ruin the day. He also would like to try coke, but doesn't know if it's a good concert drug, a friend of his once told him coke relieves anxiety but he isn't sure, he also is scared after seeing a girl overdose on pulp fiction and now thinks it will happen to him. So I'm coming to you guys, what would be the best thing for my friend that has very bad anxiety to do? He likes drugs a lot, but is scared to take them because if only simple marijuana makes him feel like he is dying, he is scared to think what harder drugs will do. Thanks for your time and I apologize for the extremely long post!
 
First, we don't try to pretend we don't use drugs here. We all know it's you who's having this, so just make it easier for everyone and say "I". Second, these kinds of threads are not really allowed here AFAIK, should have read that BLUA when joining, eh!

In any case, I think benzos might be your best bet. Something like Xanax, because you said it yourself - after it kicks in, you feel OK. Make sure not to take too much, and don't drink alcohol with it. Since you have experience with it, just take as much as you know you need to get rid of anxiety.

I don't recommend taking what you're proposing, because most of those drugs are stimulatory in nature and thus prone to induce some sort of anxiety, especially considering your prejudices towards the drugs. If you're that anxious, just take it easy and enjoy the music? You don't ALWAYS HAVE TO take E, LSD, shrooms, and cocaine at concerts, do you?
 
Benzos mixed with phenibut would be ideal for this person..might want to add in a mild stimulant go keep you energetic
 
just take whatever you want and have some Xanax handy in case you have a panic attack. stimulants and psychedelics will quite possibly make you anxious tho it's safe to mix Xanax with both of them so go for it.
 
Don't take benzos to go to a concert - you are likely not to remember anything.
And what's the point of that?
 
Xanax or alcohol

if you're gonna take xanax start with 0.5mg (a quarter of a bar, a single peach football, half a blue football) and take another 0.5mg in 1 hour (when the concert starts) if you feel as if the dose needs to be increased.
 
I stayed away from weed for many, many years for the same reason, extreme paranoia, I think from doing way too much lsd from age 14. Recently started smoking again and its ok, but I stick to good old fashioned bush.

I would stay away from ecstasy if you have anxiety and get paranoid, just because of the comedown, it could ruin the whole festival for you. Most drugs are going to have some negative effect on your anxiety though sadly.

I would never tell anyone to take benzos due to the hell I have been through with them. A xanax or even a longer acting benzo would help you in the short term and would make the experince more enjoyable .... The problem is, If you suffer anxiety, it will make you feel that muh better you may want to take it all the time and that's when the real hell and increased anxiety begins.

I've never had black outs from benzos? Not even at stupidly high doses + opiates + alcohol. Not that I can remember anyway hahaha ?

Maybe just drink a little to take the edge off? If I read correctly that you haven't really done any other drugs, my honest opinion is that taking anything at this concert, out of your familiar environment, WITH severe anxiety, is going to be a recipe for distaster. Some drugs you may feel great while you are on but the anxiety produced by the comedown may ruin the whole experience for you. If you can drink ok as you say, I truly would stick to that.

Oh, and in regards to PULP FICTION, Uma Thurman's character OD'd on HEROIN, not coke. Mia used coke in the movie in quite large quantities and she hooked into Vincent's (Travolta's) heroin thinking it was coke and snorted a big fat line (way too much) as a result. You can definitely OD from coke, just saying that's not what happened in the movie :).
