Ive had social anxiety disorder all my life so anxiety is nothing new. Last night I was over at a friends house smoking a little weed which is also nothing new. After we got done smoking we were sitting outside in front of his house smoking a cigeratte. Which I only do when I smoke weed to increase the high. After I got done with the cigeratte I started to get noticebly hot. And I kept getting hotter and hotter till I was pouring sweat. I was sitting down on a bench trembling badly and really starting to get scared. Then I started to see white spots everywhere untill I couldnt make out my friend 2 feet in front of me. Then my hearing started to go. The world sounded muffled like someone placed thier hands over my ears. I turned white as a ghost, I couldnt breathe and I remember thinking I was going to die. After about 10 minutes of that though it gradually went away as it had came.
My first thoughts were that the weed was laced with something. But I smoked with 2 other people and they were completely fine. I thought about a presentation I had given recently on panic disorder and these symptoms sound very similar. I never would have thought it was this dramatic though. Aslo I wasnt that anxious the time of the attack. One of the people we were smoking with I didnt know so I was a little apprehensive about that. But Ive been much worse and didnt have one of these.
I also just started paxil and tomoxal in the past weeks. I smoked the day before and had no problem so I dont think it was the drugs reacting bad with the weed.
This was such a bad experience that it completely turned me off of weed. Which was one of my favorite if not favorite things to do.
