Marijuana Psychosis and now scared to take psychadelics
    #18724122 - 08/18/13 06:39 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys, i've been a pot smoker for 3 years, though my max was 1 spliffy a week, so really not that much. On March everything changed...i was sitting in my room baked for good while listening to weather report and all of a sudden i felt i couldn't breathe...i really couldn't so i got up but my ears were whistling( the high pitch sound thing) and i felt like fainting...I turned white and my heart started pounding with palpitations and all that stuff...then i felt cold and hot at the same time, my muscles were twitching uncontrolably and had chest pains and felt like i was going to die...literally.I don't know how a bad trip is but this felt like the scariest thing i ever lived, i KNEW i was gonna die, all this lasted 2 hours till i fell asleep.The next day i was shocked and the doctor told me it was a panic attack (i never had one before and i've never been that anxious). The problem was that the panic attacks continued coming even when sober almost everyday  for 2 weeks after which i took some calming herbs drops and the problem kind of subsided. After another major panic attack while smoking bud i figured it was a psychosis(?) from what i've read on the internet. The panic attacks stopped as i stopped smoking and taking those drops( just wanted to be sure that i wasn't feeling good ONLY because of the drops) and i felt really proud of myself for not taking bullshit medicines and getting rid of it on my own, it took 2 months but all is well now, though i'm still pretty anxious sometimes, especially when i think my heart is racing or i have palpitations(doctor says its normal at my age21) or something strange that goes in my heart. After all this i'm kinda scared that the horrible experience i passed will come back stronger with psychedelics, but i've been wanting to try shrooms for 6 years now. Anyone has some advice or had a similiar problem? Thank you for your time!

If you are an anxious person, you may not want to eat mushrooms.

It may help, it may not. A lot of people seem to get over feelings like that after a trip. Others just dwell on it during the trip and can't let go.

The truth is that if you can get over it when you are tripping, then you can get over it when you are sober.

I can relate.  I used to have anxiety while smoking marijuana to the point of psychosis.  I used to get really twitchy as well as some terrifying and irrational racing thought patterns that I could not pull myself out of.  I don't smoke weed at all anymore because of this, and I would recommend you do the same, at least for a while.  I would actually recommend you not do any drugs for some time. Instead start eating healthy and go outside and run around a little. (If you don't already) 
The only psychedelics I've done is Mushrooms.  Too me mushrooms and weed are completely different.  When Taking mushrooms I have much more control over my thoughts and the euphoria mushrooms give me almost make it impossible to start going into a bad trip.  Its important to not trip too often, and to only trip when you are well rested and in a positive head space.

This eventually happens to a lot of people after smoking weed A LOT. Or maybe a little.  :shrug:

It happened to me after being constantly high for a good while. I know how you feel, it's like losing a good friend, but maybe take a break and come back to it.

If you take 1.75-2 grams of shrooms your first time you'll probably be fine. Shrooms are a completely different head space than weed. Just don't smoke weed when you take them.

I think that doctor is full of shit, it could have been something more severe. Did they run tests on you?

Man that sucks, hopefully it doesn't have to do with you smoking weed!

I thought panic attacks happen for a reason though? Is there a reason for your panic attacks?

I would figure out if you have gotten rid of your panic attacks before you trip, because if you have one of those while tripping, it might not work out so well.

Is it possible to meditate during that? To calm your heart rate, calm your muscles, and get your head back on straight maybe try sitting down RIGHT when you have it, and focus on your breathing. Repeat some words like "It will pass with time, it is okay" or something. My friend used to have PTSD problems from child abuse, so a couple times I had to relax him. I would usually get him high (hey fuck off, it works!) and would calm him by talking to him.

Best of luck to you man, I hate to hear this happen to a fellow stoner!

Man, it happened to me before, 3 times during 7 months now. It's a panic attack. Last one was on friday. I smoked a little bit of weed and then - ZANG, it started, I had the same symptoms, I was white, heart was racing, I felt like fainting, everything became so bright I couldn't see farther than my feet, I saw world shatter, stones on the ground started to make geometric patterns, colors were shifting, and, you may think I'm crazy, but I enjoyed it. Of course, I couldn't get up and my legs were numb AF but I enjoyed it and it lasted for like 30 minutes, because I STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT IT, SAT DOWN ON THE GROUND AND STARTED TO TALK WITH MY FRIENDS. Panic attacks are manageable. I smoked more weed after an hour or 2 that day and yesterday I took 3.5g of shrooms and I am fine since then. Just don't make a big deal of it, you gotta feel stronger than that.

This sounds more like a panic reaction than psychosis  - it also sounds like a whitey - which in my experience usually means low blood sugar. What's always helped me is eating/drinking something really sweet. Even if it's just a couple of spoons of sugar.

I used to suffer from panic attacks. The way I got over them was repeatedly confronting what was causing the attack - so over time, exposure to the stimulus reduced the attacks so they don't happen anymore.

I used to get anxiety on weed too, but as above, I started smoking up and getting higher and higher, so I could confront it head on. Last Fri I was stoned out of my tree, seeing visuals etc. I lay down and a flash of anxiety surged through my body. I took a deep breath and let it pass. On Sat I smoked up and felt the best high I've had for a long time. Just take baby steps, confront it, and let it go.

First of all thank you for all your advice, you've proven to be awesome people! Lately I figured out that every panic attack and anxiety problem starts when I think I have some problem with my heart. I can link this to the fact that my uncle and a friend of mine (age 21) died from it and my dad had severe problems too. though i had tests like ecg enzymes and the doctor told me to relax cause i have absolutely nothing. Sometimes though it has been quite hard cause I unwantedly convince myself that i do have a problem even if my heart is in perfect condition as shown by several tests. That first Panic attack started everything, i've never been thinking about this :/ . As said, even if I got rid of the panic attacks I'm sometimes a bit anxious a feel some chest tightening, but that could be triggerd by gastrointestinal reflux.

Same thing here with marijuana. I don't really like it unless I'm alone on the couch with a pizza or something.

Mushrooms are way more social for me. :smile:

Modern medicine today is a joke and should be taken with a grain of salt, in my opinion. You should take measures to insure it is not heart problems. Diet is very important and if you eat shitty that will effect your overall health. Hydrogenated oils instantly effect your arteries (sticks immediately to the artery walls) when you eat food that contains it. I would suggest making sure you eat a clean diet and see if that helps.

I'LL work on my diet , its a good idea. i do however believe that nothing is wrong physically , i think the problem (it is fading slowly away) is in my inner self. the fact is that i can't be sure that psychadelic won't take me to that horrible place again. I don't know how a bad trip is, but i think its very similiar to what i've gone through, with the difference that in my case it was horrible, Like if somebody was with a chainsaw ready to cut you in half and you were SURE he was going to.

My opinion has always been that the right time to try psychedelics is when you don't even have to ask whether it's a good idea or not. When you're able to go into it without fear or expectations, and accept that it may be frightening but, you can get through it and that it's all in your head.

My first time using psychedelics was a couple months ago. I'd been interested in them since I first learned about them in grade school and had wanted to try them for several years. But I am so glad I found them when I did and not earlier, because in retrospect I was not ready for that experience. But since I was in the right place in life where I felt generally content emotionally and confident that it was my time to take the plunge, it was the most beautiful, mind opening and rewarding experience of my entire life.

You will be ready the day you know you are ready. But even then it will probably surprise you, because there is no way to imagine what it's like until you've been there.

Hey sorry to hear it man. But it just sounds like anxiety, not psychosis fortunately. Weed can make me pretty panicky. More so than psychedelics. Though once you hit the level of bad trip on psychedelics it's infinitely worse. So it's a bit of a gamble either way. Personally i'd say to stay away or dose low. Even though I think weed is more prone to causing anxiety, your long term reaction wasn't that normal. I've been crazy freaked out on weed before, but always woken up feeling 100% normal minus being tired.

For the record, a psychedelic bad trip is way worse than a panic attack. I remember having a panic attack on marijuana when I was younger, and then a bad trip on mushrooms... Now I laugh when I think about the bad high, a bad trip just blows it out of the water.

Whatever it is, work through it before taking a large dose of something trippy.

ID say take some :lsdabc: have an ounce of weed on hand to smoke, roll it all up in blunts, large tv with something interesting playing, try the movie Samsara without music, play your own beats, stuff that you enjoy.

This anxiety you deal with just need to be alpha'd, can't let that wack shit bring you down, stay positive, remember you dont neeed the answer to solve the problem, nor the answer to the answer man.

I'll figure it out, thaks for you help and support, i'm really curious about how psychedelics will feel. I think as the whole psychedelic experience as something deeply spiritual. I'll try when i won't ask if i should like you guys suggested, I never rushed it anyway, i've been wanting to try for 6 years now, i guess there is a reason it didn't happen yet!
