Full Blown Panic Attack w/ Pot
    #7441926 - 09/22/07 09:40 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

This is a question for anyone that knows or has used pot before (most of the board). I've smoked pot every now and then for a number of years and never have really been that into it. There are times I will enjoy it, times I will be indifferent and times I have little panic attacks. When these attacks have happened in the past I just get a bit paranoid with thoughts like I'm losing control and then I have trouble breathing, but then it subsides soon after.

Last night was the first time it has ever gotten really out of hand. We tried brownies for the first time (myself and everyone I was with). The coming up with it was actually a lot of fun and we enjoyed them until I went home and fell asleep. It was the next morning when I woke up to pee that I realized I was still HEAVILY feeling the effects and started to freak out.

I started thinking that the brownies were going to last for a much longer time and it was going to mess me up and I just started losing control of my body and was struggling to breath at all. I started to shake violently in the bathroom and I had to wake up my roommate and make sure I didn't start convulsing. It was a couple of minutes after waking up my roommate that I started to pull myself together but I was really shaken up.

This was the first time that I had literally no control over myself for about a minute. It was so scary. I was so out of breath at one point that everything I saw had white light surrounding the edges and I was so sure I was going to blackout and die. Scariest moment of my life.

Needless to say I'm never going to try brownies again and speaking with my friends some of them were fine and others felt sick but nobody experienced anything like I did. Does anyone have a story of something similar to this? I've made up my mind that I'm not going to try it again but I would like to know if I'm alone in ever having this type of thing happen. Share your stories and try and send a little comfort my way.

if you're new to pot then getting the dosing right on brownies can be a bit tricky. I've been smoking for years now so I can basically intake just about whatever amount I want. Brownies can also last a very long time. I've made firecrackers that have lasted till the next morning. It's nothing to worry about. but alas pot isn't for everyone so you just may be someone who can't handle that particular drug.

I've had them. One experience had me pretty messed up, anxious, paranoid, depressed, OCD symptoms for a year afterwards. I was just talking to a freind who experienced a similar thing.

Panic experiences/panic attacks on pot are not all that uncommon IMO.

2. "We were feeling pretty good so we decided to smoke a few bowls..."
3. "I had to be real quiet because my parents were asleep upstairs..."

I had my first full-on panic attack after eating a space muffin the night before moving across the country. It really brought some unpleasant, paranoid feelings to the surface and upset my stomach to boot. It felt like my heart was beating 1,000bpm and I was having an asthma attack. I have similar feelings from smoking pot, but they're much less pronounced.

The fast heart beat/trouble breathing thing is new. I smoked for 5 years daily with the most lovely effects ever, and then one day, I started having weird feelings of anxiety and increased heart rate after smoking. There is such a thing as a marijuana allergy. If you experience diarrhea, nausea, skin rashes, sneezing, or other allergy symptoms after using pot, it may be that you've developed an allergy to it. Otherwise, it's probably just what lots of us experience from time to time with weed. And you've gotta remember that EATING weed and smoking it produce different effects, with ingested pot taking longer to come on, producing more "trippy" effects, and lasting far longer than the smoked method.

I, however, will not be eating ganja again any time soon.

I had a panic attack stage, the first attack was the worst.
I felt like i'd gone insane.
I was affected by it for days, desperately hoping i wouldn't slip back into that mindset again.
I didn't understand them at the time, and i felt very unstable in the days after the first attack...

Chill out on the weed and learn a bit about panic attacks..
I got over them by learning to recognize the first signs of an attack, telling myself in my head 'it's just an attack, i'm fine', then learning not to react/panic if one starts.
The more i did it the better i got.
If irrational thoughts are triggering/prolonging them you need to put a stop on that.
Remember you're not in any danger.
Get familiar with how an attack feels. If your attacks are coming from different irrational thoughts each time they occur, and you notice you're having the same extreme feelings for each of these different thought scenarios, next time it happens you don't need to get carried away with thinking "maybe there is something wrong" or whatever, making everything worse, because now you know exactly what's happening. 

Use logic,, if you're having a panic attack,, all you have to do is not panic when it happens and you're no longer having a panic attack.
You're still having attacks which sucks but they're much easier to deal with if you take away the panic.
I'd say learning not to react/panic is the most important thing for anyone with panic attacks because once you crack that, and the attacks lose their mental impact they'll slowly start to fade, and from that point onwards they become a lot easier to live with..

The way to not panic is like i say,, learn about them.
Once you know they can't hurt you there's no reason to panic..
Again you have to be logical, but for me it was all about changing the way i looked them.

They may go away on their own accord, but if you're faced with problems it's good to change the way you think/handle them.
Once you figure it out you shouldn't have to suffer again.
I'm quite glad they gave me the opportunity to tackle my brain the way i had too...
I used to be paranoid in loads of situations, even worse if i was stoned. That side of me has mostly disappeared with the panic attacks,, :laugh: .

I'll stop writing now,,, :lol:

I'd also suggest that when you feel an attack coming on, slowly breathe through your belly, making your exhale last a little longer than your inhale.

hey! im suffering panic attacks all the time, so i've had some verry nasty trip's while on pot.  idk.. when panic attack comes, i start repeating myself "this is a panic attack" .. never concentrate on the information which causes panick attack. for example dieing.. dont say yourself "i dont want to die." cuz that wont work. you have to fight the real problem.. panic attack itself. it causes your blood pressure to come up, heart beating faster. and then you will start to feel the  so called death with your whole body, believing it more and more.

just f*ck it, say no to panic attack. repeat yourself your dosage, who you are in sober life, tell yourself you dont need no fkin panic attack, but dont hate anything, just love yourself n stuff. try to be positive.

and afterall, every panic attack is gonna end.. and usually sun seems much more brighter then . so .. sometimes.. i dont fight panic attack .. i enjoy them  , because they are part of my life.. for too long. its like healing me.. it cleans my memory so i can come out of the trip like reborn child :smile:

I've never had a panic attack from marijuana but I have experienced them using stimulants.
As suggested earlier in this thread it is incredibly helpful to try and develop a mental exercises to work your way through it. Steady, controlled breathing helps too. In the end you'll be better for it really.

Failing that using a benzodiazepine will always put an abrupt end to acute anxiety. Be careful with this though. It is easy to graduate from using an anxiolytic for acute situations to using it for routine anxiety and that will inevitably leave you less equipped to handle panic on your own.

consumption is way more intense, so dose and setting is even more important than smoking. Some people are very sensitive to pot and don't like smoking a shitload and such. I just like one or two hits of good pot and I like where i'm at. i've had my fair share of anxiety and panic attacks from strictly pot. when you first experience it, its a really scary thing. pretty much a bad trip is what people should call it.

and I don't think you should NEVER try eating brownies again, because it was only this time. Eating cannabis will affect people differently and you can get high just like everyone else and have a great time. its all about your set and setting. i've found most of my panic attacks was where i didn't like where i was at, and feeling a bit anxious already with the people i'm with. all you need to do is learn to control this and you'll be fine man. if it starts happening EVERY TIME you smoke, take a weeks break. I did this and came back brand new. I now enjoy getting high more than i used to.

I've gotten sick on too much several times and that feeling of knowing that you're can't control how long the feeling is going to last is really disempowering, which absolutely can lead to a panic attack.
