Sorry, I posted this in anonymous but meant to in Homeless.

I'm not sure where to post this, if something similar has been asked or this goes against rules, remove it. But this has been bugging me for awhile. Recently, I took a fairly large amount of dexamp (75 mg, I have a very low tolerance) and smoked a small amount of herbal blend/cannabis with it. I've been having trouble with the law, and while I was smoking was seen by a school official who I had had trouble with.
I went back to my apartment thinking she had called on me for tresspessing (was in a dorm after getting kicked out of them), and my paranoia grew exponentially. I was absolutely convinced that the government was watching me, and were "gathering evidence" or something of that nature. After flushing my blend/cannabis and hiding other "evidence," I was constantly looked out windows, putting my ear to the door, pacing, and just generally freaking out. I was very scared to open the door, I thought that "they" would come in as soon as I did. My parents came after awhile and took me to the hospital, after convincing me that no cops were outside my door (lol).
Even at the hospital i thought the nurses were "cooperating with the cops" or something of that nature. They said it's a normal reaction to k2, disregarding the possibility of amphetamine psychosis. They gave me Ativan and sent me home, which helped a bit. But for the next few days, I was still convinced that police were following me everywhere, tapping my phone, etc. I've quit using all drugs and am going to treatment to sort my life out. The psychosis has mostly gone away, but once in a while I'll have a paranoid thought, like today the phone was messed up and playing radio for some reason and I thought it might be tapped. So my question for anyone who has had a similar reaction/psychosis from amphetamine and k2/cannabis, is it usually temporary? Is there anything that would help? (Other than seeing a psych/quitting all substances) I appreciate any advice, thanks
