Anxiety?

    I've been smoking regularly for almost 2 years now (regularly meaning daily) and about a week ago i stopped because I found out I was pregnant. Yesterday I found out I had a miscarriage so afterwards I smoked a blunt thinking it would calm me down. A few minutes later I was having an anxiety attack. Id never had one before so I went back to the ER and they gave me an IV and calmed me down and told me what was happening. After I left I thought I was fine and smoked again and had another one (this time much more mild). Last night I took like one hit off a bowl and had a very small one. I never had panic attacks before the miscarriage does anyone know what this is about or how long itll last? 😩 I just wanna smoke again and calm myself down but just thinking about smoking now makes my chest burn a little

    Maybe you were stressed out/depressed because of your miscarriage, and the weed amplified what you were feeling and caused anxiety.


    Omega369

    I was, do you think the anxiety is developing into a disorder or should it pass when i deal with the miscarriage?

    We're not psychologists.  Go talk to a professional or family member about this.  I agree with Omega369.  If weed is causing you anxiety right now, abstain from it while you deal with your loss.

    I dont think it was the miscarriage, I think it was your tolerance. If the more you smoke, the less intense they get... it just seems to me it's more that than your personal frame of mind, although you will continue to experience them, if you think you will and/or can't calm yourself out of them. I've gone through the same thing, for miscarriage and birth, and my tolerance was like crazy low.
     
    Next time, (if you so choose) maybe switch to weed tea, instead of quitting, if you plan on continuing after the birth, and don't want to relive this. It's quite safe for the baby, won't exactly get you stoned (depending on how you make it) and will keep your body used to the cannabinoids. 
     
    Im sorry for your loss, and hope you recover quickly :)

    I'm sorry for your loss. Sounds like it could be some form of postpartem depression. I would consider talking to your doctor about it.

    I agree with what everyone else is saying. Its best to talk to a professional to get the situation taken care of before you wait to long. Cannabis isn't for everyone but im sure once your more mentally stable with your emotions, Mary will be calling your name once again

    You're not in the right mindstate to smoke, or you have smoked your receptors dry and they need a break, which is why they cause anxiety attacks sometimes.

    Xanax

    I would not smoke any more for a long while.
     
    If you do there is a good chance this will become a constant dysphoric high and may take forever for you to get back to a normal enjoyable high.
     
    Subconciously it must have bothered you a lot and it's all coming up when you are stoned.
     
    Don't resort to xanax like the guy above me said. That is the last resort and only if you start having disabling panic attacks while not high either.

    Agree that your general state of mind has a lot to do with it.  I'm sure it was a very upsetting experience.  Also you took a break from smoking and probably lowered your tolerance, which only amplified the effects.  I wouldn't assume that the anxiety is permanent - it is a natural response to a difficult experience.  I agree that a break is in order to give you time to process the experience.  If you do smoke again make sure it's a very small amount because your tolerance is lower than it was before you stopped.
