Panic Attack

[StOn3DMaN]

Hello all, I was recently enjoying my favorite thing, pot and xbox :P and this is where it all went down hill.

I consumed 1 1/2 fire crackers but I didnt really feel any significant high, so I smoked maybe a bowl or too. I started to notice my heart beat really increase and getting faster and faster. I could not sit down and began to panic. I thought i was having a heart attack.

So i went to my parents room, woke em up and was droved to the hospital. They gave me some drug to call me down, but my legs were in spasms

I was shaking the entire way and just felt so shitty.

After all this, I could not believe what weed had done to me, and it was a very scary experience. I have been smoking for about 4 1/2 years, but recently within the past year been smoking alot more.

Now i have decided to quit more becuase i am afraid of what will happen again if i smoke.

It sucks, but hopefully ill give it a few months and try it once more.

Any1 else ever have something like that happen to them?

I guess now im "scared straight"

:/

Wait, so smoking marijuana made you have a panic attack? I use to have those all the time in highschool. was put on xanax for that lol. they suck dude i know what you went through but they stop. If it was weed if prolly quit for a little bit then get back into it.

Sounds like you probably got some of that recalled peanut butter.

I think it'd be because of the firecrackers + smoking a bowl maybe? That sucks to hear man I hope you recover.

i thikn you got too high man, i've been there its shitty as hell.

I have a panic attack whenever im fucked up, not only weed. I don't know why, but im so used to it I just can calm myself down and keep chillen.

shit man, i once had to run like a ninja on speed to catch a trian, i was really stoned aswell, i got on the trian, and my heart went nuts, my fingers all tingled and shit, was really scary.

i had a panic attack exactly like that in my first week of smoking weed. Ussualy anxiety medicine doesn't help, it was defidently not the weed that made your legs spaz. ya know you defiently smoked outside your limit there and you didn't know it, if you waited about an hour your heart would have calmed down. thats what happened to me

[POTSTYLZ]

im skeptical that weed did that to you.

Laced maybe?

Or maybe the paranoia tripped extremely menacing vaibrations, and in a mind over matter situation, you induced your own Panic attack.

or the bad penut butter thing, but in that case you have much more serious problems than a panic attack.

I can say with little doubt that it was a panic attack. I've had a few just as you described. It usually happened to me when I smoked a lot by myself. I'd start to shake, get real cold, my heart would be beating real fast. Once I thought I was losing consciousness. The first time I had one I decided to quit for a week before I started again, slowly at first but back to normal in no time.

I haven't had one in quite awhile, but the last ones I had I was able to stop within 10 minutes. You just need to find a method of recognition and a mental speech of calming yourself down. It doesn't hurt to wrap yourself in a blanket too to stop the shaking and watch some cartoons or something. Something funny that will make your mind stop racing and eyes entertained.

give yourself some time, but don't worry too much about smoking again. panic attacks are pretty simple to contain with a little practice.

i had a similar situation to what u described before i was blazing by myself (i smoked a fat blunt by myslef that was my first poblem) and afterwards i was ripped but then soon in after that i couldnt focus on nething i cnouldnt sit still and was scared to go to sleep ( for some reason = /) so i jus stayed up the whole night and watched movies the whole way through lol. i just stepped outside my limit, it happens more then u think but sometimes when ur with people socializing and what not u dont pay attn to it but when ur by urself, meh


that whole episode scared me out of smoking for 1 whole day lol
