Dealing with Weed psychosis??

I've definitely suffered from drug induced psychosis..

Didn't need a doctor to tell me that.
 
that's just benzo tapering; i think i'm going through the same shit right now as i was at 10mg/clonazepam a day for a month and dropped to a few mg of etizolam per day. If you smoke cannabis during withdrawal you will feel crazy and probably more anxious.

40mg/valium per day isn't that bad really. could be 300mg like many other people on here. You need to taper more slowly though, you are dropping too fast, if you start to feel like this it's because you have dropped too fast again. If you want to just ride it out it will take a week or so till you feel normal again. Same with each dosage drop unless you go really slowly. Seriously cut back on your cannabis use, that is only making things worse.

You may have thought you did but without a psychiatrist you are just speculating. Now I can't speak for you but a lot of people conflate simple paranoia with a full blown psychotic break. Unless you're a psychiatrist you cannot just diagnose yourself with drug induced psychosis regardless of how sure you are it's a psychotic episode. For all you know there could be a lot more going on. Or the drugs just make you just feel paranoid.

I wasn't so much trying to convince anyone. Just relaying a similar opinion on an experience. Subjective is as subjective does.
 
Okay fair enough, I probably shouldn't have jumped at you like that.

One thing I'd like to say is that one of the most common features of psychosis, whether drug induced or not, is a lack of any insight. So even sitting down with the vast majority of floridly psychotic people and explaining why it is that they are mentally ill will lead you nowhere. They can recognize some of their symptoms but beyond that you won't get very far. I have experienced psychosis myself so the suggestion that a bout of moderate paranoia alone can justify a diagnosis of a psychotic break seems to be stretching it. I'm not saying it won't happen, but usually this is FAR from reality. This is why you need a psychiatrist to give a psychiatric diagnosis, because they are trained to deal with these situations day in and day out and can make this call. Some guy on the internet is unlikely to have the skills and wherewithall to do this!

An example of a psychotic person with no insight would be a guy who really is convinved the CIA are out to get him and they really are stealing his thoughts. He will be incapable of understanding his delusions and some of his hallucinations are part of his illness. If you try and explain it to him he will just come to the conclusion that you're 'part of the conspiracy'. This isn't the same with everyone but it's very fucking common.

This is why they need to be hospitalized so frequently, because they don't believe they are ill so why should they take antipsychotic drugs.

What a ridiculous thread title.... you're a bright one alright

Sigh, i hate the internet forums for this reason. I can't be face to face with the person who insults me so i can't deal with the situation in an appropriate way...Your not to bright if you can't figure out what i mean by that :)

Btw I WAS psychosis when I made this thread and thread title. When used responsibly weed is pretty harmless psychologically, but only when used in a moderate, non daily way by non mentally ill people. If you are doing what i am doing and mixing with benzos daily and going through w/ds well still smoking weed/intaking caffeine you WILL loose your mind. This is the third time ive gone throught this shit and the same crap always happen and i reach the same ways because i am not in a rational state. I am a fairly bright guy i just make awful choices on top of life shitting on me when ever it can.

I used between 4-6 mgs of clonazepam then dropped to only 40 mgs a day valium so i went nuts due to dropping the dose to quick. I am actually quite bright, and did this not by choice. Hence the stupid thread title and idiotic questions. Also i have sever anxiety/depression/PTSD/OCD.

In conclusion i would like to say this. FromHereTOEternity lets see how bright you feel when i make you say the alphabet backwards well shoving my cock so far down your throat you litterally throw up every 2 seconds :)

Stop smoking weed.

Seriously.

Paranoia is horrible and you admit yourself it's getting worse. Just stop smoking. At least until you finish the taper.

Sound advice. Im really trying to, but the drug addict in me makes me smoke around 3.5 grams (in bongs) a day. i seriously cant control it lol. its kinda sad i make weed sound like crack when the 2 are not even close but i litterally get sick if i dont smoke a bong every 8-12 hours. i get paranoid, chills, insomia and i cant eat shit.

Time for a break. lucky i have sometime of off work for the holidays coming up where i can sit at home and feel like shit and not have to go into work.
 
Dude that's a lot of weed to be smoking a day, like you would have to be constantly smoking every 30 min or so. That alone would make someone feel out of it when you do it for a while, and added the benzo withdrawal i can see why. I would definitely cut down to like a gram a day, and focus on finishing your benzo taper.
 
3.5 grams wouldn't take you all day to smoke, you figure that 1.3 1.4 g's can fit in a blunt pretty easily, and the average high only lasts for two hours...
 
get a vaporizer and stop wasting your cannabis. 3.5 grams?? that's insane. I can get high all day long from less than .5 grams. A half oz lasts a month for me at least. Get a volcano and never look back.

Stay away from Garlic. Also other neurotoxins. They make you feel this way. Check your diet on what you're eating.

I have had the same exact symptoms. Make sure it's not laced (Probably not because while you're crazy everyone else is normal), Flushed properly and grown right.

Also some strains have different effects on different people bro. I learned this.

Check your strain and seriously stay away from garlic.

When I went on my t break for sinus infection I ate a lot of garlic and got fucked. Seriously was out of it in the hosp. EEG would of shown that I had encephalopathy.

Had nothing to do with weed.
