Klonopin to treat marijuana panic attacks

[Psychedelic Jay]

It think it's because we have fucked with our natural GABA system by our serotonin receptors.

iv had this problem and been dwelling on it

i have always been a seriously quick thinker, worrier, generally anxious anyways. i smoked heavily for the last year becuase i fucking loved it. had such a laugh with all my mates during colllege, found it really calmed me.

but one morning, wake and bake type thing my head suddenly filled up with thoughts when trying to watch a film. i couldn't concentrate at all. i tried to concentrate and just repeated in my head everything they said. i tired calming my thoughts but just ended up over analysing everything! even narating in my own head what i was doing!

finally it calmed and distracted my self from this thought of repeating sounds/voices/thoughts. a good week or so passed from this problem and forgot about it. but i think i brought it all back into my head, worrying about all my thoughts and constant state of mind. thinking i was going crazy and had a split mind or something. latching onto a thought like that is terrifying. every time u say stop, you just waiting to test urself to see if still doing it! its horrible! i have stopped every drug except from alcohol and fags. had to tell my mum everything i have ever done and she was my cure to calming my thoughts.

but even to this day any situation i get concentration on speech (lecture at uni or watching film/t.v) the thought creeps back in and i start it all over again. its ruining my self asteem, my confidence everything!

It will definitely help. It may even, dare I say, completely solve your problem. The only issue here is that clonazepam can take a while to "come on"... like 45 minutes to an hour. If you really want to eliminate the possibility of a panic attack, just take your prescribed dose, an hour or so prior to when you know you're gonna smoke. I, personally, would and do take 1mg for this purpose, and it works well.

Don't rely on klonopin to bring you out of a panic attack though, even taken sublingually, the panic attack will have mostly subsided by the time the drug is absorbed.

Don't make a habit of relying on benzos to be able to enjoy your smoke. If you can't handle the smoke, don't do it.

Although the combo might be cool from time to time, don't make a habit of it.

if ur getting panic attacks FROM marijuana, then u just should stop smoking

idk how old u are but if ur young like in HS, i know u wanna fit in, but its not worth it to need to take klonapin just to smoke when u jsut shouldnt smoke

I agree, if marijuana is causing panic attacks than just stop smoking. Taking benzodiazepines with marijuana is nice to do every other now and then but never make a habit of it.

I react the opposite of how everybody else seems to. Marijuana helps curb my anxiety. I don't smoke all the time, although I used to. Today I smoke on "occasion" to relax. Now on the other hand, swag weed DOES induce anxiety.
