anxiety and smoking.

[Peach.Optimo.Bluntz]

To all the people that suffer from bad anxiety and or paranoia. Do you guys ever notice that smoking marijuana causes your anxiety attacks or paranoia to be worse?. Ive been smoking for some time now and ive been suffering from really bad anxiety for a few years and just this past year i got this awsome gift of paranoia . Im not absolutley positive, but i think that smoking MJ makes my anxiety attacks worse when im sober. Some times my anxiety attacks get so bad that i have to just sit back and relaxe for an hour just to regain control. The reason i ask is because i noticed that when i dont smoke all day, my anxiety isnt so bad. I also wanted to hear other peoples opinions and experiences. Thanks.

I've found the same thing, Peach. Weed doesn't seem to help my anxiety levels. In fact, the last two times I've smoked, it's downright brought anxiety on when it wasn't there at the surface before. I am never sure if that's because I already have a baseline of feeling worried and scared or if it's because of the weed itself. It might be different with another strain. Right now the solution for me is going to be to not smoke because I don't seem to do very well at making myself feel better. I'm pretty well convinced that for me personally, it has also aggravated a feeling of depression, too.

yeah its a real bummer. Ive read some where that alot of people that use Marijuana in the long term, have experienced problems such as Anxiety and paranoia. They say it can take years and years of smoking before you experiences the anxiety and paranoia while stoned.

Peach see a Dr., It is most likely a chem. inbalance. I suffered Anxiety in High school. Weed use during the time didn't help. Now that There is special order, You can try something on the Sativa side of the fence and do fine.

I have paranoia attacks, or as I call them spac outs.
when I have one I cant leave my house, unless I have to, due to me thinking the police are after me or people are waching me I just wait them out then im fine so it doesnt realy bother me.

I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks for the last four years...i used to smoke grass in high school and it seemed to help with the anxiety although it may increase when high is depleted...best bet would be to see a psychiatrist and get yourself checked out before u keep smokin grass, just to be on the safe side.

i used to have really bad anxiety and was put on a bunch of different medications that never worked out. ironically, i find a nice indica evens me out better than any of that fda approved bullshit and plus i get high.

I used to have some major anxiety and a bit of paranoia, i Still do sometimes,
But i learned from a doctor Vitamin B complex vitamins and calcium:magnesinum supplements help anxiety.
I have 2 pills of each daily, and i've become more social, i guess the vitamins produce the chemicals in the brain to function properly. I guess its the natural antidepressent, which really works for me.
Oh and OMEGA 3 oils (you can buy them in pill form) are great for depression.
Now i can smoke in peace without the anxiety and bullshit.
But i still sometimes cant even function when im blitz, trying to order food in a fast food store. lol.

Whenever I smoke it always make anxiety a shit load worse. I duno if its because weed relaxes you so much your not used to being relaxed so you feel out of control, or it affects your body physicologically causing you to be more anxious, I could take a guess but I don't really know shit about it. I know one thing though, alot of anxiety is in the head it really isn't all about chemical imbalance. Like the guy above posted, vitamins, especially B1 B2 B3 help a shit load with anxiety. Also cardio and weight training help as well. You could have SAD, social anxiety disorder. Best to get checked out.

Also alot of people who post about smoking weed for medicinal purposes say go for a Sativa dominant strain and some others say the opposite, others so a mixture, which is it.

For me Anxeity, well Im not really into toking, just once in awhile, not really into to drinkin,I dont drink that I cant stop, which is good.But I do steal my hubby's valiums(which he knows, gives me some but hides the rest.LOL)
But i find the anxeity creeps in when I dont take a V-- I know you saying, well your addicted, I guess I am, but I try my darnest to go without n just have like a wine cooler to take the edge off, that works
But i dunno...nothing calms my nerves like a valium NOTHING.

Also, this is funny , but ide rather pop a pill than keep drinking, cause i gotta P all the time!!!LOL
