Anxiety can really be scary and confusing especially when you experience for the first time.  Furthermore, smoking pot can really magnify any underlying anxiety issues as you are finding out...going down that road is never a good idea especially when you are so young.

Have you had anxiety issues in the past?  The good thing is that you can and will get better with a little understanding of this....keep us posted and feel free to ask as many questions as you like.

Yes i have had anxiety in the past but it really starting to get bad. i googled stuff about smoking and feeling like this afterwards and it said somthing about depersonalization. i dont know why but i still feel high and its starting to scare me. is it all in my head?

I was diagnosed with anxiety 3 months ago and it was from smoking weed...I had a panic attack and ended up in the ER... The physical symptoms are scary I experience heart palpitations, shortness of breath, paresthesias, and sometimes even derealization...One thing I have to remind myself of each time is that their just sensations they can't harm you especially if you have ruled out anything physical...

Hope ya feel better

[katherann]

thankyou! i just sat here bugging out cause it dosnt even feel real i guess. i feel better now thanks so much. do you still feel "weird" ?

[newportttttttt]

Yeah lately its been a struggle cuz im new to this...I feel like im high sometimes and I havent touched weed since my first panic attack...I try to distract myself by watching tv or playing xbox...Just try to be optimistic about it I know its not easy but we have to continue living lol...

[katherann]

my anxiety started from doing drugs...i had two severe panic attacks which caused my anxiety...im 19 and i started smoking pot when i was 16 and i smoked pot for two years..and did ecstasy for a year..trust me on this, drugs make your anxiety worse..if i didnt do drugs i wouldn't be here writing this post..well as long as i stopped and didnt do further damage to my brain *ecstasy* and mental health its all good..just dont do what i did..and dont worry you are 14..dont think about it and try to think of some other stuff the feeling will go away

[No Excuses]

Stop smoking pot you are only 14. Do it if you want to live healthy and normal life. I used to drink when I was 14 and I think that had influence on my anxiety!!!!!! I suffer 10 years already and believe me you don't want to be in my shoes. go to the doctor!!!!!!!!!!

I remember a few times when I smoked weed and felt like I was bout to die!  I too almost called 911..   It was because I smoked way too much.. I felt weird for like 4 days after that!  lol..  don't worry, it'll go away.. when u smoke too much like that,  that anxiety can happen..  

I have anxiety from coming off of vicodin for 3 years.. It's only day 8 of nothing but the anxiety seems to still be there everyday.. does anyone have any experience with opiate withdrawal and how long the mild anxiety and uneasiness should last if you stay off of it?

hi i'm 15 and ive experienced the same thing with pot i smoked some about 3 months ago and my anxiety grew increasingly worse i had to call 911 because i thought i was having a stroke i suffered from major depressive disorder right after i smoked and i was on prozac and xanax i quit the prozac because i thought it was causing my memory loss but i didn't realize that it was the xanax. I just wanted to let you know that your not alone and dont smoke again trust me its not worth it.
