Please Note: My sole intention of this post is to educate on a potential ill effect of smoking a large quantity of marijuana mixed with a prescription drug taken daily.

I had been smoking marijuana quite regularly for about 7-8 months. To be honest I quite enjoyed it. I??m now 23, and I have been taking an generic brand of the anti-depressant Paxil since I was 17. So I smoked daily not really caring about any side effect might occur when mixing both drugs. In my early day of smoking it wouldn??t take to much to get high, however as my interest in the drug grew so did my tolerance to it. I found myself smoking more and more. Like I said this went on for a good 7-8 months without any problems. Well that was until about two weeks ago. On this night the first of two bad trips would occur. My tool of choice for smoking this evening was a bong. In the time I had smoked I had learned to use it rather ??well? and I could inhale some pretty massive hits. So I filled the sucker up and went crazy. I was chillin?? for about 10 minuets, then a bad sensation took over my body. My vison echoed in a way and it was uncomfortable to get up and move I had a pretty definite delay in reaction to any motion I put my body in. My head was also pounding, it was as though someone was bashing gongs all around my brain every time I even attempted to speak or listen or to what one of my friends in the room at the time had to say. It wasn??t the type of pain a headache might induce but rather like having to constantly listen to very unpleasant sounds over and over and over. Savage mental pain. Not wanting to deal with this pain any longer I decided to smoke a little more to maybe calm myself down it worked I guess. This trip lasted in total about 20-30 min. then I calmed down. Right there I probably should have learned my lesson and quit the drug for good, but I guess it wasn??t a bad enough trip for me to call it quit, until a week later. It was exactly a week later and I live at my mom??s house and she was out of town for a few days. So me and a friend of mine decided to take advantage and smoke freely in my basement and watch some Monday Night Football. We rolled a nice size joint and smoked it. I felt fine at this moment and I should have stopped, but I didn??t. We decided to break up a little bit more and then preceded to pack and smoke a bong. I all but forgot about the bad trip that occurred a week ago and went about my usual business and took as big of hits as I could handle until the weed in the bong was finished. I was really high at this point but I felt at ease with myself at this moment in time. I walked over to my computer and put on some tunes went over to the couch and sat. it wasn??t before long I was overtaken by the exact feeling I had a week prior. ?? Oh god, here we go.? I remember thinking to myself. Unlike that bad trip last week this one progressively grew stronger and stronger. I felt as though I was losing touch with my surroundings as well as my ability to concentrate on anything. I felt as tough I was trapped behind a black wall. It became harder and harder for my brain to communicate with my body, as though my brain was shutting down and I couldn??t do anything to stop it. I felt as though I was slipping away from reality. I had no recollection of how it felt to feel ??normal? all I could feel was complete uneasiness and feelings of utter doom and extreme self-consciousness all the while drifting further and further away from any communication from my body. Then the climax, total loss of everything. No vison, no motion just complete fear. I had interpreted this feeling as death. I actually believe that I was about to die and I went into complete panic all I could feel was my heart beating frantically . I began raving at my friend trying to get all my emotions out and last thoughts before I believe I was to die. I rushed up to my feet, I have no idea how I was able to do this and tried to give him a kiss on the cheek and telling him how much I loved him and everyone else in my life before collapsing on the couch.. The last vison I had was seeing him running up the stairs to get my brother. Before everything went black. I was in a total emotional breakdown at this point. Pure hell. Screaming and crying for God and Jesus and forgive me for my sins and deliver me from this hell. I broke down in tears praying and yelling how ?? I tried to be a good person.?. I don??t know if you could consider this blacking out, but I don??t think it lasted to long. My friend returned downstairs with my brother and I had opened my eyes while breathing incredibly panicked. I was still crippled with fear and in the grasp of a complete emotional breakdown. I was crying for all my best friends and my mom. I managed to obtain the motor skills to call another best friend of mine and my mom. ??Mom, I smoked some bad shit and now I think I??m gonna?? die.?these were my exact words to her. Words a mother should never have to hear. I felt to put it simply that I was going to die or become mentally retarded in some way. So I wanted no part in any medical attention cause I didn??t want to die that way. They respected my wishes barring I didn??t get worse. This trip lasted I would say about 2 hours. All I could do to keep myself sane at the time was to convince myself that what was happening wasn??t real and using the 6 friends and family around me for support. After coming down from such a trip I had felt I really had been to hell and back honest to god. I don??t know that the weed had been laced since the friend I smoked it with didn??t have the same effect. So my use of my prescription drug must have had some effect on it as well. This is the best I can put it to you, it??s just to hard to explain it all in detail, it was pure hell and I don??t wish it upon anyone and I vowed to God to never smoke again. I don??t want to scared people I want to people to learn so it doesn??t happen to them.. I don??t believe marijuana is the root of all evil but you have to be careful. Don??t let my foolish mistake be yours too. Sorry its a long story but I feel it's important to know. thankx
