Being high is nauseating now. Help!

Have you been under more stress/anxious then normal lately? Any major (negative) events happen in your life lately? Don't mean to pry, but events similar to those can be part of the cause of setting things (anxiety/nausea) off.

 

Even a random one-off anxiety attack can trigger a (usually) short-term experience, similar/related to PTSD... a bit like after having a 'green out', if you've had an anxiety attack while getting medicated, the scent, taste and experience of getting stoned can be enough to trigger another attack, which for many people will include nausea and stomach upset (which are some of the top symptoms of anxiety and panic disorders, right next to increased heart rate, pins and needles sensations, swelling, skin discoloration, and even an 'itchy' painful sensation).


Some people feel this way after a car accident when they try to get back into a vehicle again, others get nauseated before job interviews after recently having an especially bad time during one.
If that person wore a particular cologne the day of an attack, a week or two later, a single spray could set off another attack. It's an associative-sensation response, your mind may or may not know what caused you to become so worked up, so it reacts to anything it remembers you were doing or exposed to at the time.



The best thing you can do is cut back by just a bit, try not to dwell on the experience and try to relax and feel happy before you toke up. Remember the good times and try to push out the bad experience/s out of your mind, just before you begin... get yourself a bit more mentally prepared before you get back into the swing of things, and start up slow. You should be back to normal in a little while

Some people suffering certain imbalances and deficiencies, will also get a little nauseated when their cannabinoid receptors are stimulated.... here are some tips and things that can rapidly, or gradually help;


- B-vitamins, specif. B-6
- Iron
- Meat (or if meat can't be included in your diet, plants rich in protein, and in sterols or phytochemicals which help improve mammal testosterone levels.. mexican yams for instance contain the sterol/saponin diosgenin, which improves testosterone levels, while broccoli, cauliflower and kale help to control or reduce estrogen production).
- Balanced omega intake
- Vit. D
- L-Arginine, to improve circulation within the body
- Doxylamine succinate
- Probiotics and enzymes.. if yours are depleted due to antibiotic use, or otherwise off balance, supplementing and re-colonizing your naturally occuring 'good guys' can help immensely when it comes to absorbing nutrition and functioning well hormonally! I highly recommend the website iherb.com for everything from supplements and probiotics, to food and other household items.


For those who may live a sedentary lifestyle, or even a busy city lifestyle, an improved and well balanced diet and a healthier lifestyle in general, can sometimes be all it takes, because a sensitivity to cannabinoids is almost always a symptom of a problem or an imbalance.

 

Hey man the exact same thing happens to me, it's been happening the past like 4 months so I don't even smoke now really. I try everything you talked about, deep breathing, water, relaxing an none of tht helps. I don't have anxiety and in not on any meds so Idk what it is.

I did notice if I don't think about it, it'll go away. One day I got high and had the random urge to go to Walmart and buy a mason jar, so I was feeling like I'm gonna puke, I drive over there and thn walked around Walmart getting lost a few times looking for the jar and all of a sudden th feeling just went away. Like right when I walked in the store and started concentrating on something else it just stopped.

 

Panic attacks. When you smoke, smoke out of pieces.
Take a hit from a pipe and then wait. Don't smoke the whole bowl in one sitting.

I used to get these a lot not too long ago and am now able to deal with them to the point of not noticing any signs.

 

Lots of great information in this thread bookmarking it now

 

Smoking weed is awesome and thats all you need to think about when you spark a bowl.

 

Iv had the same experience actually one day in the spring i was working out and smoking a fat blunt and i felt so so nauseous and i tried to lay down and ride it out but it didnt help i got up and ended up vomiting in the sink i also did not eat before i worked out or even smoked and i did not smoke for 2-3weeks after that the next time i smoked up i felt refreshed and renewed i had all the exact symptoms as you and i felt as if i was dying i suggest to take a break from toking for at the most a month and try again im sure you'll feel so much better then before when you smoke and enjoy and find your passion for smoking again it'll be a long sober month but completely worth it, one last thing iv felt that exact same way twice one time when i smoked up with 4 friends on a backwoods that was the first time i experienced it i was also sweating heavily and breathing heavily so i pushed myself to go outside (we were in my building lobby a ghetto building at that) and i sat on the part of a car where u put your feet to get into it and just breathed in heavily and exhaled calmed my self down and the wind sure helped but once i felt better the high was ruined from my experiences i think that it was the weed because i don't recall doing anything that would make me go into that state from just smoking, but as i said try the break from smoking it may help you i haven't gotten that feeling over since and every time i smoke up i feel good and no panics nausea or anything wrong at all hope you get better pal and continue to blaze

 

Alright dude listen to this because I was having the same exaxt problems as you for the last month and I just got over it.

It is from the anxiety. And it also sounds like you might have acid reflux which could also cause problems with nausea and overall smoking(anything) makes acid reflux worse.

The first thing I did was stop smoking for just a week. I also started taking some acid reducers and now that I am back to smoking the problem has completely gone away.

You say you are psychologically addicted but if you want to get rid of this problem you have to stop smoking for a bit. Everytime you smoke you restart the whole process because the smoking is stressing you out and causing more anxiety because your brain has associated smoking weed with the feeling of nausea.

So dude stop smoking for a week, check out OTC acid reducers like Prilosec and when you smoke again start off slow. Like you I also take some meds for anxiety and I know exactly what you're feeling. You might want to go to the doctor about the acid reflux but they're literally gonna just tell you the same thing I did.
