i was disgusted too. trust me.
my buddys okay though![]()
and if ive proven anything by this thread, is that i have many occasions to use them for.
oh dear god benzos are life savers for emergency anxiety situations.
the only problem is i dont wanna depend on them, let alone become addicted.
the two main benzos i use are
clonazepam and etizolam,
etizolam is great for functional anxiety control,
clonazepam is basically for when im restless, stressed, or panicky
and if ive proven anything by this thread, is that i have many occasions to use them for.
So I am confused. You never had any issues with anxiety or anything before the day you smoked that weed in the bong after your short break which induced the panic attack?
And because of that day you now need benzos on a regular basis to deal with your anxiety?
I can't find where he said he never had an anxiety problem beforehand. In fact, considering himself to have "hypochondriacal tendencies" indicates to me that anxiety already played a large role in his life prior to the weed-induced panic attack.
But I am high, though, and I've already missed shit in this thread so I might be confused.
Well the title of this thread is "marijuana induced my disorder" then the first line of his post asked if anyone has ever heard of weed triggering an anxiety disorder. So it seems to me like he thinks that weed is the reason he has this disorder. That is why I am asking if he ever had anxiety issues before, because although weed can def trigger panic attacks for those who have anxiety issues already, I have never heard of anyone having a reaction like he discribed who up until then was totally chill and normal.
I just think it is worth clarifying that cannabis may not have caused his disorder, but is just a huge antagonist of his disordered symptoms.
Amiltryptaline is a sweet (tricyclic) ssri. It helps the first morning after, it helps with spooky pseudo pains, it helps my paranoia and anxiety (some doctors think I'm a schizophrenic?). I think it makes me less violent.
also, fantasizing about killing animals is kinda common. It happens to everyone in pretty sure.
I don't think ssri made you hurt your brother. That was you.
so after a year sober from weed i don't get panic attacks. But weed is forever a poison. That's some peoples luck.
Prolonged cannabis use can cause latent psychiatric symptoms to present themselves more acutely. I had a similar problem when I was a heavy user but with not quite as bad of a reaction as yours. I was able to counteract it by smoking a lot less as has been suggested. Abruptly stopping anything that has been a large part of your life can increase your anxiety temporarily so weaning your self off may be an easier approach. Smoking less in one session and switching to a strain with a higher CBD content can help to. Overall though like it's been said you should take a break even if you have to work your way down at first, then after a month or so of not smoking if you find any of your symptoms persisting go see a doctor... good luck.
