Question:
The first time I expierenced a panic attack was after I got high with a friend of mine many years ago. I felt like I never came down from the high. I thought I was going crazy. When I went off to college I met a woman who had experienced the same panic disorder after smoking majiruana. I smoked pot last week for the first time in 5 years, and the high anxiety returned for a couple of days. Let me tell you, I won’t be getting high for a long time. Has anyone else ever experienced panic attacks long after the effects of
Alex, I think there have been quite a few posts to this group over the years saying that cannabis use triggered panic attacks in some individuals. The mecahnism *appears* to be less that marijuana causes any systemic change which results in panics, but that it is, if you like, the thing that opens the door to something that was waiting to happen. When you say you won’t be getting high for a long time, I hate to say that the best long time could be never again. Hope that’s some help. — Gary Cooper
