Marijuana and Anxiety. Normal???!
Question: I dont want any answers about not smoking. I used to smoke alot, and I was fine with it. Its a beautiful spiritual thing for me. But about a year and a Half ago I had a really bad experience. I had a panic attack and Tunnel vision, tremors etc. I quite and smoked again and I was ok just a little nervous. I know pot increases your heart rate so I try to forget about it and Enjoy it. All i want is to be able to enjoy it like I used to. Also when I am nervous (sober) I get really red on my face and Neck, and this sometimes happens when Im high. I also get cold sometimes when I am high. I wonder if its just when Im high it intensifies my already apparent anxiety and depression. I just want to enjoy it again????

It sounds like the anxiety and depression is probably what is causing this. I too have had this happen where I got a panic attack after smoking, pretty bad experience. At the time I was pretty stressed out though so i think that is what brought it on. I know someone who has really bad anxiety and almost everytime he smoked he got panic attacks, recently he got on some meds to help with the anxiety and it hasn't happen since. Hopefully this works for u too. good luck!!
weed causes paranoia and anxiety...just part of it...it's a drug
This sounds like a pre-existing anxiety disorder. I have bad anxiety and smoking doesn't make it worse... if anything it keeps me from being on meds..
Maybe it's because you are only 18 and paranoid you are going to get caught. Did you think about that... If you live with your parents, then the anxiety of them catching you might be overwhelming.
I don't know what to tell you, because pot is not a stimulant and it should not make you heart beat faster... It's supposed to do the exact opposite like lower heart rate and blood pressure. Having a panic attack has to be attributed from something besides the pot smoking....
Go to a doctor and get on some xanax.
WEED IS A DEPRESSANT.
go get some help.
