Anxiety and Tremors

Over the past few months I have found that I am becoming increasingly depressed. Feelings of inadequacy, can't get the thought of suicide out of my head, etc. Not that I'm suicidal by any means. But the following has happened to me twice now: after smoking a bowl of weed while in a depressed state of mind, about 15 minutes later I begin feeling extremely anxious. I then begin shaking uncontrollably. An example from last night: I was at my friend's place after having descended into a state of depression a few hours earlier (I was still depressed), we sat down, smoked a bowl, I began feeling anxious, and my legs began trembling. I was rather embarrassed, so I went to his bathroom and sat down. By the time I made it to his bathroom my legs were shaking uncontrollably, followed by my hands/arms and my torso. Essentially, my entire body was trembling uncontrollably. It lasted for around 15 minutes, and was so intense that my muscles became exhausted/began cramping. When I stopped controlling myself, or "let myself go," I found that my head swayed from side-to-side involuntarily, as though I was looking from left to right slowly/intentionally. I was simply reduced to a trembling, nervous wreck. It's worth noting that this does not happen when I smoke and am a normal state of mind, though me being in a non-depressed state is becoming less common. It has also never happened while I was sober, though I still feel fairly anxious/weak from last night. I do no other drugs. What would you say this is? A fairly obvious panic attack or anxiety attack? A nervous breakdown? It is so intense and uncontrollable and exhausting that it feels as though I'm having a seizure. Anyone else ever had this experience? Perhaps it would be a good idea for me to cut down on smoking. Thanks for the help.

Avoid smoking while in a negative state of mind. Some people just dwell on their thoughts or have uncontrollable spasms when smoking.

I've found smoking to be efficient about half the time, when depressed. I've been suffering from this terrible "depression" like state of mind, (and have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, which was different) and sometimes smoking will make me energetic and happy, but sometimes it will make me dwell on my negative feelings.
I'm still experimenting with using it as an anti-depressant...anyone have any ideas/experiences in this regard?
