Ok so I was smoking for about 2 months fairly regularly. And then I started to get pretty severe panic attacks while smoking, and it kinda just ruined it for me. Some times to the point where I swear I was going to have a heart attack or just outright die. So a little more than nervous. I had smoked in the past years off and on for short times on occasions, few days, maybe a week at a time every few months. And it was always fine/fun. But after I hit that point during that prolonged stint, there was no going back. Basically every single time I tried smoking, even as much as one hit would send me into a panic. Now heres the thing. I was also very depressed and had a lot going on during this specific time. So I think that the smoking was just a catalyst and not the cause of the anxiety. So I stopped smoking and was fine for about a month, when out of nowhere I started getting severe panic attacks for no reason, completely sober. It lasted for weeks and I was having trouble sleeping and eating, and overall just horrible experience and textbook anxiety disorder. After about 2 weeks of that it calmed down a bit. I started some therapy and got on some meds (celexa and klonopin) which b/w the 2 stopped it completely almost and I have feel more or less normal for a month or two now. Now heres the question. 1.) Agree or disagree that it was the pot that caused the attacks, or just brought them out of me from other things in my life. 2.) Can/should I try smoking again? I really want to, because when it was good I enjoyed the hell out of it. Plus I can probably take 2-3mg or kpin to offset any panic should it happen or at least help reduce it. Anyone else ever been in this position, and had success starting smoking again? Its not like a pothead or anything and my life will be fine without it, but I mean, its enjoyable. So stands to reason I would want to enjoy it from time to time. A bit of TL;DR in here, but thanks in advance for any advice. | ||

Since it looks like you're associating weed with panic attacks, whether or not it's the cause, it's probably a good idea to just stop for the foreseeable future. But panic attacks are a pretty complicated subject. It can be triggered from quite a large amount of different stimuli from social anxiety, stress and biological reasons. I think the best advice would just to be reduce any unnecessary stress you have going on, take on less responsibility and just relax more. Also, I'm not trained in anyway to understand or give advice on something like this. So take my advice with a pinch of salt. | ||

You said you were under a bit of depression; speaking of experience, if you feel like you hate yourself for smoking weed during this period of depression, that could most definitely be a source of anxiety. | ||

Lots of people get panic attacks. I used to smoke a ton, my tolerance was super high, id smoke and feel high yet normal and i never experienced a single panic attack. Eventually though, i went through a pretty rough time in my life, broke up with a girl along with some other things, and at that point smoking started giving me panic attacks, like the ones you described and they're pretty terrifying. They eventually went away but i was never really able to smoke as much as before without getting them even until today. After a while of them having gone away and my life improving, i hit another rough patch in life and even though i stopped smoking for fear of these terrible panic attacks such as you described, i would get them and get severe anxiety. These panic attacks stopped eventually (the ones without having smoked weed) because once again shit got better, but smoking large amounts of weed still usually triggers a panic attack, although i've learned to sort of think/reason through them by remembering that weed won't kill you and its just an irrational fear, although tbh it doesn't always work. I, like yourself, also enjoy smoking weed alot lol so it sucks to have these panic attacks HOWEVER i disagree that you should just give up weed altogether. I have honestly found a method that works for me which i use daily and it lets me enjoy smoking weed without any sever panic attacks. What i do is i basically limit myself to taking two hits and STOP. Now, its sort of hard to stop smoking after two hits because of the delayed reaction your body has to weed wherein it takes about 5-10 mins for you to feel the high after inhaling it so its very easy to feel like "oh i can keep smoking no problem i dont feel high yet" but that is a mistake and will likely trigger a panic attack. Do this, Im fairly sure it will help you: Just take two full hits of bud the next time you smoke (i mean inhale once/exhale once, then inhale another time/exhale a second time) and stop even though you feel completely sober. Give it 5 mins and you'll feel great. Another good thing about this method is weed lasts you a really long time. Instead of me smoking a whole entire joint (about .6 grams) and being ridiculously high, i just smoke throughout the day and maintain a really good level of being high while at the same time not being so high that i cant function properly or do important tasks and so on. It lets you enjoy the high while allowing you to be productive and functional. Give it a shot and see if this helps you the way it did myself. Also, make sure you don't have like any seriously depressing recent events (such as a bad breakup, etc.) because these things trigger anxiety alongside weed. good luck  happy toking | ||

So stands to reason I would want to enjoy it from time to time. A bit of TL;DR in here, but thanks in advance for any advice. Same thing happened to me, but it was the first time i smoked and after a while i got panic attacks when i didnt even smoke. Had those for about 2~ years on and off. The thing i did was i started smoking again just to learn how to endure the panic attacks and realize that they're NOT dangerous in anyway. Its simply the "fight or flight" response kicking in. The first few times i smoked i got pretty severe anxiety but nowadays its completely gone. Had some depression alongside my panic attacks for those 2 years but they're all gone now. They usually go away after a while, you stop "thinking about it" and pretty much forget you have this "disorder" and your life goes back to normal. It was a hard 2 years and i became pretty antisocial and i was really anxious when i was around ppl i didnt know. I know what you're going through and my best advice is to power through it, learn that this is not life-threatening and how to control your panic. The first times might not be pleasent but if you can relax and enjoy it while you're smoking, you're gonna be fine when you aren't smoking because the anxiety levels are nowhere near the same.! goodluck and keep us updated on how you're doing | ||

Having panic attacks are never nice, ESPECIALLY when high, god that shit's rough. anyway, as I've been/are through the same thing as you I'll try to give you the best advice I can. It really depends if there is anything else in your life. Are you having troubles, worries or anything related that hasn't got anything to do with? if so - that's probably it. Weed alone can of course induce or cause panic attacks but I think that there's usually something underlying thats causing it. My advice would be to completely stop smoking until you've sorted anything related to what might be the cause. Even if you don't think there is something causing you trouble there might be. What I am doing right now is to completely avoid weed and even alcohol, and it does my a hell of alot of good so far. Try to fix your sleep scheduele, eat healthy, exercise and try to do creative things instead of just sitting at the computer. (I don't know how much you do of these, but these advices are good general things to do anyway, might do it while you're at it) and the most important thing is to somehow "embrace it" - you're not going to die or anything related, but it is basicly your brain overheating, and then overheating due to overheating. (does it make sense?) I am looking for same kind of advice anyway. Have been going through a real rough time lately, with family having very serious illness. That and weed were a bad combination. When you have sorted this out, can smoking weed again be a good idea? Since when I had a real cool time, I really really enjoyed it, and somehow I want to enjoy it again.. Edit: feel free to PM or give a heads up about how you feel. best of luck. | ||

So after the intial OP panic attack, i decided to smoke again the night I made the OP, which would have been the first time in 5 or more months. Just took it slow did one hit at a time, maybe 2 hits total for a night over hours. Went pretty well. I felt the onset of the panic sometimes but I could also understand it better this time and do little tricks to snap me out of it, a quick, short, complex or imprtant task usually makes me realize im alright and can snap out of it. And just kinda got carried away with the high. I'm also on about 3mgs -ish of kpin during this. Have done it 2 more times since thing including right now and it seems to mostly go well. Still scary at times and im not sure im ready to jump right back into it yet. But at least I know I can control it to an extent. And affirm thats its all in my head. Pot never killed anyone, ever, before as far as I know right? Anyway thought id say thanks and give a status update | ||

Its basicly impossible to die from smoking. If you still feel like the panic is arising etc, waiting a bit more might be a good idea. I mean why not wait till' you're fully okay and enjoy it even more? :D glad to hear its going better btw! | ||
