Sativa inducing rapid mood swings

[GreenLeaf420]

After smoking sativa, generally a large amount, I have an odd effect: my mood rapidly switches from generally negative (depression, anxiety, confusion, shaking, tachycardia) to positive (euphoria, calm, clearheaded, relaxed). The switch usually happens something like 3-8 times in the course of a high. There is nothing I can do to consciously switch between the two.

I have found no obvious 'trigger' for these shifts and they appear to happen whether I am over analyzing the high or not. I will be euphoric, watching TV and randomly, my mood will shift to negative. The switch is so rapid and complete that it 'feels' chemical-induced (I mean, as if the chemical balance in my brain -suddenly- shifted)

I have no such problems while sober and this occurs after smoking sativa, and sativa only. I am well aware that sativas can cause anxiety, but I have never experienced such a polar shift in mood.

To add to the confusion, indica helps my anxiety.

Anyone?

Stick with Inica's or other strains if they don't seem to be bothersome

Good Luck GL420:jointsmile:
