Calming a high

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I didn't see any others that seemed suitable, and there are lots of people in here so I might as well.

I recently stopped smoking, and got back into it, but noticed that I have been having a bit of panic/anxiety attacks while I am high. Is there anyway I can take vitamins, or do something to reduce these feelings of stress and anxiety?

Something to keep in mind is - I am prescribed Anti-depressants, (Lexapro, or escitalopram) and when I smoked I smoked late at night when the drug effects may have worn off, that could be the reason for this.

I've heard niacin and vitamin C are helpful for calming a high down a bit, but I took last niacin last night and if anything may have had a bit of placebo effect from it. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I love being high, but I don't like the stress and anxiety that sometimes comes with it.

Smoke some indica... they are relaxing. The sativas are more uplifiting, but also can cause anxiety.

anti depressants and skunk went down for me like aspirin and a litre bottle of vodka,

be warey, or aware, concentrate on that and we can do almost anythng apart from take aspirine and vodka ! ;)

Peace,

Water helps.
Sugar/food helps.

Try to get yourself nutritionally on-track otherwise and you'll probably experience a better high. Eat enough healthy fats (hemp seed has lots of these!) and proteins. Take a good multivitamin and mineral supplement.

Calcium, magnesium, and potassium can help - you can find these in Gatorade or Smart Water, or get them as supplements.

If you weren't taking antidepressants I would advise 5-HTP or St John's Wort (5-HTP you can pop at the same time you smoke but St John's Wort takes at least three weeks to work fully) as they boost serotonin (5-hydroxytryptophan = 5-HTP so this supplement is allegedly identical to the serotonin in your brain). However, in your specific case I wouldn't advise this in addition to your antidepressants.

However, you could ask your doctor about switching to these natural supplements, if you so desired.

one .5mg tablet of clonazepam before every session is genius.
will calm you right down so your high is all chills.

i suffered from panic attacks from weed for two years before discovering this stuff.

I have a Rx for that. I don't take it every day, just as needed two or so times a week on average. Goes good with weed, especially when the clonazepam is wearing off. I like to smoke without it, also. :thumbsup:
