Why does this happen?
    #5480848 - 04/04/06 09:51 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

for the past year at least this has been happening, i only smoke pot once every 2-3 months or so...but every time i do smoke i get really anxious, chest is tight, can't breathe well, always seems like i am on the verge of a panic attack or some stupid thing like that. i calm myself down by pacing the floor until the high goes away. i have no idea what changed over time to bring this on (well, except for some bipolar medication, but i've been able to smoke weed with it before, just i've never been on as much as i am on now)
you may be thinking why i even bother....well, since i only smoke every few months, when i do light up, i think 'maybe it won't happen this time'.....yea right....
has anyone out there heard of this kinda thing happening, and maybe if it can be prevented? or is it the meds causing it and i am screwed?

maybe it's not your drug. Maybe you have asthma? Try hash butter/cookies or a vaporizer

Dude, you and thousands of others go through the same thing. Myself included. I can't even explain how many times I've heard this story. Though, to rule out other complications, see a doctor.

I'm guessing you wouldn't be able to mix a benzodiapine with your other meds, but benzos(xanax, valium) do prevent panic attacks.. at least for me. It's not even worth taking xanax everytime you want to smoke though.

You're going to have to make a decision to stop smoking pot. I'm not trying to degrade marijuana, It can be a wonderful drug.. just not for everybody.

I use to be able to smoke pot every single day with my friends, and have a blast doing it.. a panic attack wasn't even a fraction of an issue then.. but things change.

I've explained this in other threads as well.

I have a similar problem which led me to totally quit MJ. Which sucked because before that shit started happening pot kicked ass! Also a friend of mine has a similar thing happen. I've read a few other similar accounts as well and the unifying thing seems to be that in all cases there was a diagnosis of OCD or Panic Disorder either before or since. If you still wanna keep smoking my advice to you is to NOT control it. Instead, give in and let whatever is happening take it's course. Give in and eventually you'll come out of it and enjoy your high. To me it's not really worth it though.

Things were going well for me and I was smoking weed regularly and started having nervous attacks where I just felt like shit, shakey, nervous. For an experienced pot-user this was not only embarrassing but disappointing. Granted, situation was less than stellar at the time, but I had to take a long break.

In your case it's probably just tripping you out, it may be the opposite effect. Maybe you're not smoking often enough. Or, just maybe, you're smoking too much weed at a time. If you only smoke once every 2-3 months chances are your mind isn't used to it. Try taking one good rip and just relaxing and seeing how it feels after a while.

its very very hard to do, but whenever i start smoking after a break i have to control myself to 1 hit a night for the first few or i get a complete mind fuck anxiety overload.
even if everything is straight in life, i'll question myself the entire time i'm high.

Yeah.. you have to be in control of the drug you use. Or try to at least. It might be because of the dosage or a PLACEBO type effect. If you are saying to yourself "when I smoke this bowl i'm going to have a anxiety attack" chances are you will. Say to yourself that you are going to have fun and believe it. Also don't smoke to much if you are prone to attacks

I have asthma and smoke daily most of the time multiple times per day. Usually many blunts of beasters and my lungs feel fine. I would reccommend quiting smoking weed if i felt like that.

My friend has asthma and ever since he has been a serious weed smoker, his lungs have been strong as hell. He used to wheeze all the time and constantly need his inhaler; now he is renowned for the ridiculous hits he can take without coughing.

I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,

any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I have this problem too, not the anxiety exactly... but when I smoke my lungs seem to tighten up and I can't take full breaths, often when going to sleep after really getting stoked I'll have a lot of trouble because I can't breath straight. I would quit if I were you, in fact I'm already me and I did. It's just not worth the pain and anxiety for that one little high... it's ass if I was doing cocaine or something, with the horrible downs.

2 years ago, I was the heaviest toker I knew. I would smoke an ounce a week easily, usually by myself or with the wifey. Then one day after re-upping, I sat down to a nice solitary bowl. Took one hit and thought I was gonna die. Lungs tightened, labored breathing, closing throat, heart palps, etc. Every now and then, Ill try a HIT, and the same thing happens. I have always wondered why this happened.

Now, I cant even enjoy a trip. Every trip I have ends up being a bad one. I do have a Anxiety Disorder, and have found that my Xan's help a lil with the weed, but not enough to make me wanna smoke again.
