I need help! Wtf

a heavy reaction - as in a panic attack?

If so, yes, it happened to me (With regular amphetamines though) when I smoked a fat blunt on my 3rd night awake tweaking on amphetamines.
 
I feel like my hearts gonna explode, I walk around and all my focus is on my heart. Like I cant calm down cause I cant tell if im breathing so i make myself breathe wtf This is why I cant smoke weed while just doin uppers days before. I think it's a panic attack..but I.havent smoked speed for 2 days now? Idk I swear weird shit always happens when i mix weed and crystal
 
Definitely sounds like a panic attack to me. Get well rested and it should clear right up. I wouldn't use meth (or stims in general) in the near future.
 
Some people may not like this suggestion, but, can you get a beer or two, maybe a single shot of vodka? This clears up most any panic attack, but yours is coming directly from stimulant use followed by an anxiety causing drug (that can really range depending on quality, if I smoke grade A bud, I am fine for anxiety unless in a crowded place, smoke some shitty outdoor and i am anxious)

I have sleep problems (not a stim problem) This summer I stayed awake (sober) for 40 hours. When I was starting to think I should force myself to sleep somehow, I was invited to go on a wild goose chase that could have netted me thousands of dollars (It didn't) so I drank a redbull. 3 hours into our trip, lots of walking in the hot sun and 30 cigarettes later I start fading. I drink another redbull. Restored.
A while later we finish up our hunt and head back to my friends apartment. I had not smoked pot in 3 days but was offered a few bong loads in the apartment, I took them and we headed off to go pick something up. As I was walking out of my friends building I felt this overwhelming panic mixed with sudden tunnel vision. I felt higher than I had in YEARS but was not convinced it was just the pot. I was losing it but didn't tell my friends. I recovered during the car ride, but truly thought I was having a stroke. Yes, I had 2 redbulls, but they really arent that strong, I could sleep after drinking one on the average day. The contributing factor was that I was up for so long before smoking the pot.
 
Weed always used to trigger a feeling almost akin to psychosis for me especially after long binges on other stuff.The only thing I used to comfortably mix weed with was opiates. Other than that, myself and weed dont mix.I cant imagine how it would be after a meth binge. I agree though, Id avoid even caffeine for a while since ANY kind of stimulant could bring on another panic attack.

This might sound too simple but drink LOTS of water and I mean as much as you can drink. Try to eat lighter food like soups and salads and fruits and stay away from junk for a while.Try to get out and take a walk if you can everyday(although maybe not too briskly) and get as much sleep as possible and you should be back to normal soon. Ive found that just doing the simple things helps more than you might think to bring the body back to homeostasis.

Im currently going through something similar as well (although mines been of the opiate kind) and when I start to feel the pounding and rise in blood pressure just the water alone has helped me feel alot better.

You could also take a couple baby aspirins for the next few days. This will thin your blood out and help ease any strain your feeling in your heart.

yes it can 100% if it does it on dexedrine i suppose it will do it on meth.

on a cocaine comedown its never suggested to use weed as it causes more anxiety and panic. whenever i've taken a stimulant and tried to come down using weed i'd turn into a psychotic monster. possibly because i'm prone to it - but even if i smoke weed while being on a stimulant its even worse.

i hate mixing the two, cannabis on its own can set me off on a paranoid scitzo type mood. i guess i'm just predispositioned to it. but i'm sure others have the same experience too.

if i were you id get a benzo down you. should clear you up, get you some sleep and time for your mind to recover.
 
I ended up being fine, thanks guys. I came down, pretty much was just another panic attack..I'm on some good speed now and I Feel perfectly fine? Weeds the one that ruins shit for me haha which is why I'm probably gonna stop smoking it all together, I'm fine on crystal..on weed It's just not my drug of choice I guess.

Yup sounds like me 100%, I don't get why weed.does that to me...its weird..guess I'm just.more of a stimulant guy over anything haha
 
I hope you got some sleep buddy.... Cause doing another 3 dayer could be trouble.... Just asking, this of course is a HR forum. But regardless have fun! I'm pretty close to where you're at now..;)
 
Depends on how much and how often you toke up. If you are a daily toker, nothing will go wrong.

But If you don't have a tolerance, weed could definitely cause a panic attack, especially when combined with meth. Try to lay down or eat some food and you will feel better. Focus on your breathing, try to get your mind off the panic attack. Use a cbd technique and think am I fine, this will pass, everything passes eventually.

If you are prone to anxiety from weeds, then remember not to use it with any stims, or just not use it at all...

Just because your heart is beating fast, doesn't mean you will have a heart attack. Anything below 140 bpm you are fine, just relax and breath..

Good luck!
 
Just as some encouraging words, I did far too much MDPV one time, decided to smoke on it, and was sure I was having a fatal heart attack...went to the ER, and of course not. Anxiety is a powerful psychological state of mind and can make will take normal, anxious comedowns from any drug (and this is in my experience, which sounds similar to the OPs) and greatly exacerbate them, making them seem much worse.

Sounds just like me too my man (it's 6:07am over here right now ;)) and as synthetix said, always have some benzos available during a binge or even just plain recreational usage! Can't express enough their effectiveness at relieving symptoms of anxiety/panic.

If you've been doing alot of stimulants lately, then even then next morning (i.e. when you wake up) and into the next day (or night) weed can still trigger these attacks. It did it to me for nearly a year (after not consuming MDPV or coke) until I was finally able to enjoyably consume cannabis.

You can definitely smoke weed on meth; it just sounds like you smoked too much weed. Try really, really small doses of weed on speed. You should get the best of both worlds without having a panic attack.

After a 3 day amphetamine binge without sleep (not meth, but dl-amphetamines), all it took was one joint shared between 4 people to give me the most intense panic attack I've ever had. I was also a daily cannabis smoker at the time. So it doesn't always require a high quantity of weed to trigger a panic attack.
 
Yup, I don't suggest anyone who's been binging on meth (particularly) to smoke weed on a comedown after 3 days. Over here in the UK we only get amphetamine salts, but after 3 day binges on that alone from a variety of people I know in real life who smoke it regularly without side effects suffered intense anxiety and panic when they tried to use it to come down.

Seriously, get a benzo, or at worst a sedating anti-histamine. Just not weed.
