I just remembered about this thread, lol.
I wanna say that I'm way over all of these panick attacks and BS.
I started meditating on the problem and tried to find out the cause of this, and what triggered this sympathetic response (fight or flight, panick attack, same thing).
I started by convincing myself the weed is good and there's nothing to worry about (heart rate, etc.). Second, I try and ignore panick attacks as soon as I feel them creeping up on me. I can now block them as soon as they hit.
Do not fight the feeling, whatever it is, that's when you will freak out. Don't fuel it either by thinking about it, just IGNORE IT (very important); focus on other stuff.
Even worrying about freaking out and trying NOT to freak out is "fighting" it. This will also activate the fight or flight response - not good.
You are exactly where you are supposed to be (very high), and that is IT. Nothing more to it than your unfounded fears.
I have smoked many times since I started the thread and have had small hints of creeping panick attacks. I have stopped all of them using the above method. It's quite simple now, but it does take some meditating and learning how your OWN brain works, the stuff you are most afraid of, and then to convince yourself these fears are something only a paranoid schizophrenic would have, and IGNORE IT.
You do not have to stop doing what you love (smoking weed) because of this bullshit. Just learn self-control and use it to your advantage.
If anyone has any questions, please, feel free to ask and I will try and help each and everyone of you because I probably couldn't have conquered my fears without the people from this forum, and for that I'm grateful
Also, somewhat unrelated, but still important:
Disclaimer: I am not recommending people take mdma. However, this is my experience and I will share it; yours might differ.
I just want to say my highs have gotten so carefree and have a much better quality to them ever since I did mdma (followed by 5-htp) for the first time on Friday. Mind you, it was a small dose (30-40 mg - I tested the molly - this weekend I'm gonna do a full-on roll) but it was pure, so I did feel very good for about 5 hours (mild euphoria, I just wanted to dance all the time while listening to trance on my headphones. I went to school, I was talking a lot (but not gibberish), pretty fast, my thinking was so clear, so smart, so focused, so joyful and happy and giddy.. I felt like I could take on the world, like I had it all) and after that, the feeling stayed with me for a few days. Yesterday I started taking 5-htp to replenish my serotonin levels and, just... WOW: I'm so much happier than before. I was depressed and scared, anxious... but now, I feel complete, I feel... yeah.. you're right.. I'm talking gibberish.
The point is this, 5-htp is a godsend for stoners and for people suffering from anxiety & mild depression etc.
While before I couldn't go a day without smoking weed and becoming super depressed & anxious, I'm now free, no more depression, no more weed cravings, no nothing. I have quit cigarettes since my mdma & 5-htp experience.
Even thought I wouldn't have considered myself a depressed person before, I can totally tell that most of my problems (including the ones with panic attacks) were a result of my low serotonin levels.
Before my life-changing experience, although I learned to control my panic attacks, they did creep up on me when I least expected and I had to concentrate a bit to make them go away... Now, there's not a hint of a panic attack, I've become very confident
Peace!
