Severe Anxiety for a month after a bad trip

Postby Xoaeslehcm » Sat Apr 29, 2017 6:36 pm

I tripped On April fools day. My trip went bad and triggered a severe anxiety attack. Now, a month later, I'm having really bad anxiety and I don't know why. If I lay down and relax, I end up freaking out because it feels like there is a pressure on my check and in my throat that makes it harder to breathe. I've been experiencing sleep paralysis semi-regularly. Sometimes it'll feel like my mouth has gone numb. During that trip I took two hits, which is more than what I usually take. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, did it ever end? I used to smoke weed but now I don't even do that because I'm scared to get too relaxed, if that makes sense. I'm having trouble falling asleep. I don't really want to hang out with anyone. I just want to be back to my old self.

ive had similar issues after a trip... they werent bad trips...but ive found if i take more than " usual " which i usually take one to two, it cant get pretty hectic trying to process everything after the trip, as ive been diagnosed with anxiety disorder early on in my life... have you ever tried or been interested in meditation?.... i dont do it as much as i should but have been practicing it for a few years... its been a great help to me and may help you?

Something similar happened to me after smoking weed less than a year ago. I was also on zoloft at the time so my doctor seemed to think it was a weird reaction between the 2. Although, I was on zoloft in high school and smoked weed pretty regularly without incident. Things change I guess. But I kind of lost touch with reality for about 2 weeks when it happened this last time. It was HORRIBLE. My doctor said to give it a couple weeks for the THC and all of its metabolites to work its way out of my system. It felt like I'd never return to normal, but I did after about 2 weeks. Maybe it just takes a little longer for acid?

But, you're describing physical symptoms...the issues with breathing and numbness. Do you think you'd feel comfortable speaking to your doctor about it? If it's concerning you, I'd definitely get in and talk to my dr about it. That's what they're there for, and trust me, they've heard it all, so don't feel nervous about them judging you. You may get a lecture about taking drugs and not knowing what's in them, where they came from, etc, but at least you'll leave their office confident that you're ok.
