panic attacks...

ever since july i've been having crazy panic attacks. i dont know why except for the first time it happened was at a campout where i did A LOT of drugs.....but now it even happens when i'm sober, anywhere, with anyone. i will be fine one minute and then i will start to think everything people are talking about is about me. like if i'm waiting for the bus and someone is talking to someone else and says "man the busses are slow today" i will think they mean i am being slow. it will just go on like this and i will think everyone is in a plot to make me realize something or admit to something but i dont know what. being on amphetamines greatly inscreasees my affinity to these attacks.... i'm going to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible for this as it is affecting my life deeply. i already have extreme anxiety around people...and now panic attacks?! i'm wondering what the doctor will prescribe.....or if there is one drug that is better than others for this type of thing....
 
what kind of drugs were you doing?
from my experience i have had extreme paranoia from drugs such as ketamine, ecstasy, pcp and at some times coke...
its never been so serious that i have had to seek professional help but i think that these drugs can bring on depression and paranoia that can last a lifetime.
 
over the course of the 2 day campout i did alcohol, weed, 3 pills of ecstacy (mda actually), meth, 1 line of coke for the first time, and gbl at the very end...
this wasn't all at once either it was spread out thru the whole weekend but im sure it was bad either way.....

This thread would probably get more responses over in Health...we get a whole lot of anxiety related posts there, and we discuss antidepressants and tactics for dealing with anxiety. Try doing a search there and in the archive too.
 
i get horrible panic attacks and paranoia much like you said. this was after a long hard year of dxm use with a 3gram overdose at the end. now im paying, big time...
 
btw i just had another one at school on like tuesday.....it sucked because i had stayed up the previous night tweaking (bad idea) and decided i needed to tweak the rest of the day to get thru school or else i would crash. i go to academy of art in san francisco and in the middle of class it started to seem like everything everyone was saying was about my delinquance and drug use. and it was like they knew i was on crystal.....this one girl that was being nice to me earlier that day seemed to be making fun of me. it's scary because even now i can't decide if it really happened and if they really knew i was on it or if it was just my imagination. :(
 
that sucks big time. I also had this kind of thing with 2 of my friends, i thought they where talkin about me every time but it seems i was right, coz my other friends also has this with these 2. But i know what you mean...
good luck

I have something similiar read my post, and the later responses were helpful. It is called egocentrism and is a form of organic psychosis, which means it shouldn't happen if you quit everything. Or just about everything.
In addition if you are having such problems shooting anything would be a bad idea, as you had discussed in another post.
