Does/Has Weed Ever Given You A Panic Attack?

Sentience said:
Anxiety isnt necessarily 'all in your head'. Some people have a physiological or hormonal response to stressors or drugs which can cause tachycardia, hypoglycemia, constriction of blood vessels, high blood pressure, disorientation....Yes, the mind and body are linked and calming the mind can help, but it isnt JUST in the mind. Its also in the body.

The brain triggers those phsiological and/or hormonal responses.
 
haha it's strange i can't even think about weed without gettin anxious but i can take four hits of good acid and be just fine
 
you know some people don't feel the high for a few first times? smoked scwag for like the first 3 times, then some high quality shit from denver my 4th..wayyyy to strong for a first high. thought i was gonna die

just eat something and try to sleep if it happens
 
Don't know what happened but one time when I was smoking blunts we were all standing in a circle and then I like lost my footing and fell backwards. My legs like turned to jello and everything turned white (I lost complete vision). Wasn't really that scared though so I don't know if that's a panic attack or what.

Once when I was smoking before school I hit up McDonald's breakfast and when I was looking at the menu to order I literally "whited out" and lost all vision for like 45 seconds, had to have a friend like lead me to a table to sit down. Again, I was not scared or panicked, I just literally couldn't see anything but white.

I wouldn't say I've ever "panicked" but I used to get somewhat paranoid occasionally in my early days. Those are just the 2 stories that really stick out to me. Does anyone have any idea why I have lost my vision those times? Has this happened to anyone else?
 
Made me paranoid when I was smoking too much and thinking I was pushing it with my "biz" at the time.

I'm now retired and in witness protection. ha
 
only when I am down to my last oz of nugs....
srsly,it does that to a lot of people.Me,only happens when I think things are gonna be so chill,and boom-paranoid hardcore and I am an everyday/evry other day herb smoker now for over a decade w/ few cuts out,here and there.smoking for 2 decades...i am an old school stoner though.I believe in smoking out your neighbor.giving the reefer man a tip until I became bud bitch ;)

if the paranoia is overwhelming for me in a situation or w a substance,I opt for playing safe.get out and go where it feel GOOD to be high.better not to waste a potentially great buzz later than blow it by doing something that you know makes you wig out,ya know?
 
lol doesn't matter when or when if i were to light up it would be an instant panic attack

uh....... those who get panic attacks don't smoke anymore- I'm pretty sure, unless they're into self- torture.
That's why I unfortunately had to quit- as have many others..... kinda the whole reason I started this thread; to see how many other people had to quit due to anxiety induced by smoking weed.
 
Only once in 15 years. Had some seriously strong green which I was ripping through a 6ft bong at a stupid rate (those were the days; I've got slippers now). I completely tripped out and thought everyone was really annoyed with me, and started getting all paranoid. Then everyone actually left (I didn't know they planned to anyway), and I was left in a jittering nervous mess on the floor for about an hour before I passed out. It was probably the longest hour of my life; no, sorry, that was my wedding night. It was probably the secondest longest hour of my ..... no wait.......


;)
 
rushed the bud too quickly on a blunt like 3 years ago...
now though id be ready for way more
 
Is there a non drug way to treat this? I don't wanna depend on benzos so I can enjoy another recreational drug. Yesterday I got so high that I felt depersonalization again, kinda controlled it, but I fell over kneeling since I got so high/tired from it. I froze for a few seconds I remembered my friend saying "Thats not okay, I don't want that happening in my house." I was able to move after a minute and could function perfectly well again. I don't know if caffeine/amphetamines can prevent it but then I took 400mg caffeine with 5mg Dexedrine and felt better, much better. Not sure it it cures/hides symptoms.
 
Not a proper one.

Never like hyperventilating and shit...

I did freak out a lil once or twice when I hadn't smoked for like 3-5 months in my first 4 years of smoking, but then I just realized I was on edge coz my heartrate shot up...never happened again since. This was like over 5 years ago

Caffeine/amphetamines promote panic attacks.

I am sorry but I don't think falling over becuase you are so "high/tired???" constitutes a panic attack?

I dunno it just sounds like you were blasted out of your mind?
 
Yes.It was some potent/strong indica, made me have to use benzos as well for like 2 months (no exaggerating) that was 10 years ago..still tokin..
 
I smoked for 3 years never had any kind of mental problems, but gradualy it started to build until I got full blown panic attacks if i got high enough. One time I got hospitalized after eating a shit load of brownies my circulation actually cut off my arm went pure red, it was messedanother time everything went red and I almost lost my vision. havnt smoked in three years, but would like to start once a month or so, except Ihave a triggered panic attack right after I smoke. Does ativan and such actually work for these attacks? because I know they are mostly mentally triggered from the weed for me, I just wish I could smoke again occasionally. I'm thinking I will try ativan 15 mins before Ismoke and 20 mins after. I've just been far too afraid to even go near it now because of such horrible experiences and the mind frame it causes. Scary shit, think I'm gonna die every time.

I have only ever used benzos to get to sleep. Could you take one whilst smoking weed, yet still stay awake? (5mgs)
