Weed gives me anxiety, but what about weed mixed with ativan?

Hey guys i recently had a huge Panic attack with a really bad strain of weed(looked like WHite Widow) but my anxiety and panic got alot better over time so i decided to smoke again just a less potent strain and i did alrite got a pretty decent high and the anxiety came back but only a little bit so im wondering if i take an ativan(lorazepam) before tokin would that keep my anxiety at bay or would the weed stop the ativan from working :?
 
Pot always made me half loopy anyways (paranoid on occasion, racing heart, feel blood pumping in my head, 4am blinder concoction's)

If only I had something to calm me down.. Oh you have lorazepam sounds good.

I would do little benzo's as possible when you smoke.. shit's habbit forming
 
i also have suffered from very bad panic attacks to the point where i have ended up in hospital, its very scarey indeed, what i found helped me in the past was valium, even as little as a 2mg valium helped me stay calm, i fried my head with magic mushrooms when i was about 16/17 and for a year and a half i could only toke if i had taken a valium and in them days they were near impossible to get here. I take it lorazepam is a form of diazapam aka valium so it probably would help you
 
yea def sucks the only thing is when i got anxiety and panic from pot it wouldnt go away even for weeks after i stopped smokin so im curious if i can make it so the weed doesn't trigger my anxiety then i won't have it the following days either but thats jus my theory
 
For sure take the ativan 45 minutes or so before you smoke a fatty..

The most relaxing thing for me when I smoked was to set in my truck somewhere on my property at night, turn off all the lights.. the only light there would be was from my cd player and the end of my spliff.. Good music is a must

Any other time (someone's house or car) I would get totally freaked out..

Just smoke less and you won't get the anxiety

that doesnt always work, sometimes i can smoke alot one night and be fine then for instance other times i would just have a few puffs and i would feel anxious, its sometimes unpredictable but other times you can tell by the way you are feeling, i think if you think about it too much in teh day knowing your going to smoke and then you start thinking that you could have an attack then you most likely will but if you have had a pretty good day where you feel relaxed already and your not thinking about having an anxiety attack then you will most likely be fine, its all in the head.

I was well stoned one time, had been smoking all night and wasnt thinking about anxiety attacks, then suddenly it just jumped in my head that i could have one, guess what i started to have one there and then, so i decided i would try and control it by controlling my thoughts, and it worked, i started to watch a comedy to make me laugh rather than think about the attack i was starting to have, i also thought to my self that it was only my thoughts that was causing it and nothing else like my health etc so if you can take control of your thoughts and feelings i think you can take control of you anxiety attacks, it took me years to actually manage to control them to be honest, but thats becuase i didnt know that i could, but now that ive told you that you can take control of them you can start trying to, its all about thinking happy thoughts and trying to take your thoughts away from the anxiety, fair enough sometimes attacks can be very strong and full on and very hard to take your mind off of it but the more you try the more control you will gain each time.

hope this helps you

well ive not tried ativan , it was valium i used but no i wasnt on anything else than the weed when i learned to control it, if i was on valium i wouldnt need to try control anything cos the valium would stop me from having any anxiety in the first place, its just hard at times to get valium unfortunately
 
Of course the ativan will help with the anxiety... its an anxiolytic. I would be careful tho, if u get used to taking ativan or ANY benzo when you smoke weed, you're gonna end up never wanting to smoke without a benzo.

That and the anxiety you get from herb will seem even stronger without benzos.
 
I had to stop smoking due to crazy panic attacks... until the doc prescribed me xanax. The key is to take the benzo (ativan in your case) about 45 mins before you smoke. You have to give it time to kick in, I had too many times where I didn't and ended up chewing xanax to stop bugging and ended up passing out once it hit me.
 
i dont know about xanax but if you drink a cup of tea along with a 10 valium (blue) it brings it on pretty much instant.

i wish i could get prescribed something, although ive learned how to control my anxiety id rather not have to , id much prefer having a toke and not even thinking about it atol
