Yea man i've been diagnosed with anxiety/panic attacks and they suck but you just have to get control of yourself and your state of mind. If your feeling like your about to freak out or your heart starts beating fast and out of your chest you just have to remember that you've done this before and that your alright, and that nothing can physically happen to you and just snap yourself out of the "funk". but if you can't control it the just take a step outside...it always works

Keep on keepin on people...

ive smoked for 4 years and i just started getting these panic attacks not even a full year ago. at first i didnt know it was a panic attack, and just thought i had some really low blood sugar or something.

this is the part that confuses me though: i only get these panic attacks with weed. ive done acid and had no problem.

Yikes! Off topic! Good input just don't mention drugs other than cannabis...

I get panic attacks all the time even when im not high. It seems to be worse when I'm high though, probally because my heart gets going real fast somtimes. I've had it so bad that my entire body goes numb.

Best thing you can do though, just get some water and chill outside for a while. Fresh air always helps. And if you can talk to someone about anything, just to get your mind off it.

i asked my psychiatrist about this, whether pot could trigger an anxiety disorder. without hesitating, he said definitively NO. i don't recall the details of what he said, but the gist of it was that cannabis interacts fully with so many parts of the brain that it would be impossible for one area to be triggered in such a way as to be more sensitive to stress.

for me, blaming pot is the simple answer. the more difficult answer to arrive at, something i'm still wrestling with, is that i have real issues that need to be worked out, despite the fact that on the surface my life seems quite nice and i don't have a troubled past.

i should also mention that i have discussed my anxiety and pot use with four different doctors, and none of them even mentioned pot as a possible cause.
