hey guys, good to hear someone is having the same exact thing i did pretty much, which is why i endedup on this site! basically i smoked weed heavy for like 3 years (not one day off) and ive always been fine - never greened out, always been the last one standing, can still function normal while stoned ie work, surf etc. did mushies a couple times really enjoyed it then one day got really fucked up on weed and mushies and had a very,very bad time - i think it was kinda a bad trip, but moreso just extreme feelings of anxiety and panic.
it eventually subsided and i carried on as usual, smokin my two joints a day.a week later I moved countries, and had a few spliffs, alls well. then one day i had a spliff and Boom!severe panic attack in my house, didnt know what the fuck was going on! i stopped smoking for a week, then when i got home one day had another joint - same again!!! then i tried again a week later, same again but for 2 days after as well. this really freaked me out and wen to docotr, he said i had some anxiety disorder brought about by the move, being in debt etc, but this didnt ring true to me as ive always coped with these kinda sits before!thought maybe it was cause it was hash and not fresh clean bush.
I moved elsewhere and smoked again, and i was fine(on nice greenery) then about 2 week later i smoke again, maybe 5 tokes (rollers rights!) and it hit me again, the worst one yet. I then went through 3 weeks of hell, having at least 5 panic attacks a day, sober, couldnt sleep, nightmares every night, got put on valium, started green tea etc. eventually i started st johns wort and since then i havent really had a panic attack. its been 2 months off weed now, but i still feel abit funny.
what i wondered was, do you think these attacks could be related to weed or not, cause its wierd why only sometimes they happen, plus i was such a heavy smoker before theres no reason for them to come on after so little?or perhaps the mushies have fucked with my mind, although would this not have occured in the week after them, not 3 weeks later? I know my mum when she was my age had a drink spike with acid and she went through 2 years of hell bad depression etc afterwards, so this of course got me worried that maybe i had schizo, maybe i had depression all sorts of stuff.
Ive since started meditation and relaxation and i really do think its all in the mind and if you think about maybe having one you probably will - i just wish i could smoke and feel how i used to as i loved it so much and it was a big part of my life - im fine without but im against aallcohol and i used to just chill with a spliff and play guitar instead and want that back!!!
Im a damn healthy 22year old male so i dont get why this is happening, any thoughts anyone??
Thanks!!!

I did a paper for my abnormal psych class on panic disorder, so I have some knowledge on the subject.
When you have a panic attack, the likelyhood of having another goes up dramatically. Many panic disorder sufferers worry about not having a panic attack and that, in turn, causes a panic attack. This can lead to agoraphobia (fear of open spaces) if not treated or resolved.
Alcohol, Barbiturates, and anti-depressants are often used to treat this disorder. However, the most effective method of treatment is seeing a clinical psychologist and getting treatment.
It is my personal belief that these can be resolved in the same way that other phobias can be treated. Either through modeling or slow disassociation. So, either view other people that dont have the problem as models for how to act and realize that you are only psyching yourself into having them, or face your fear. Understanding the problem is the key to solving it, and everyone is different.
I would recommend laying off the marijuana for awhile so you dont induce any more of these attacks. Paranoia only increases the chances. Eventually you will lose the fear of having them, and thus lose what causes them in the first place.
hope that helps.

i started off taking E alot about 3 years ago and i never experienced such panic attacks i then took a heavy mushroom trip which was the most mind bending experience ever so i wanted to do it again so i took a smaller dose this time and it was horrible paranoia, panicking major discomfort was glad when it was over.
after that mushroom trip even in sober life i was having panic attacks it really really freaked me out there was too much going on in my head every day i would freak out so i layed off the psychedelics and the problem soon went away and when i went back to taking E, meth etc again it was in moderation and all was good until recently i was in holland and took a rather large dose of mdma by accident hehe didnt realise that shit was so potent ;o anyway it caused me to hallucinate full on
it felt like i was back in my mushroom trip and i had a panic attack but managed to calm myself down as my gf was there and i felt oki, now the last few times i have taken E each time throughout my high i would have a panic attack i am not sure what causes this but it just keeps happening, its like the horrible experience i had with mushrooms has opened this path way in my brain that causes me to have panic attacks and when i had a panic attack on mdma every time i take E now my brain slips back through this path and then causes a panic attack, mushrooms maybe 1st opended up my panic attack door in my brain and now when i take psychadelics its easy for me to slip through that door its just finding a way of dealing with it now, still not sure why they happen its quite annoying maybe its just a sign for me to stop taking drugs?
for me i am trying to deal with the attacks and i think that they are fuelled by fear as im shit scared to take a trip due to past bad experiences so when im on E i think shit what if i start tripping again then i work myself up and panic, if i just try to relax and 'go with it' it seems to go away quite quickly
when i 1st started taking psychedelics i was 17 and i had a fuck it all attitude so whatever happended to me while high or anything i wasnt bothered so maybe that attitude didnt bring on panicking and freaking out, its just recently i have started having these panic attacks while on E maybe i care too much about everything now and am just building up all this fear inside me and not willing to let go ? I'm not sure I'm still working on it next time i take E I'm going into fuck it all who cares frame of mind and will see if that helps me, i only ever take E a month apart now so its not like i am taking too much and its not that high a dose either maybe its just a phase? just wait for it to go away

I agree with Veter. My first panic attack that I can remember was recent(past 6 months) and it was while I was high. No psychadelics were invlolved, and I was scared I was having a heart attack, or a hemmorage, or a stroke or whatever. I was scared I wasn't breathing, my vision went black every few minutes. Typical symptoms.
I have been smoking marijuana since age 16 and never had these problems until age 25. There are an enourmous amount of things that have changed about my life that could have potentially contributed to this new found phenomena. The simplest, most effective solution I have found is to stop smoking marijuana. I have had no ill effects from doing so, so far.
