About almost 5 months ago, i smoked pot, that was laced. The docs never actually said it was laced, but i knew it was. Because, my heart raced so fast, it was almost around the 188bpm mark. blood pressure was normal, but, i was very very anxious. hands sweated badly. it was horrible. well, before all that went down i was normal i guess you can say. No fear of dying or anything of that sort, until afterwards. i was semi fine after everything happened, until i had a motorcycle wreck. which brought it all back. everything, the experience everything. and now i've had a fear of dying. i can get a pain anywhere in my body and my mind tells me that i'm dying. my doctor says i suffer from anxiety, and have mild depression. i was fine before this, and now i'm not. the doctor gave me effexor xr, but i really hate medication that fools with your brian. see thats where the fear kicks in. i just wish i could go to a psych doc, and see about getting all this behind me. it sucks, really does, because, i wanna get back to the old me before i did this crap. but, it was gods way in telling me, what you are doing is wrong. Thankfully though, i've stopped smoking pot, and drinking. And trying to take better care of myself. please keep me in ya'lls prayers, as i try to fight my own demon inside. i feel like i'm loosing everyday. Thank you everyone

Hey my name is christina and Im 20. I had the same situation as you I smoked pot that was laced and now Im dealing with worse psychiatric issues. I always think Im going to die. Last night i took my seroquel and trileptal, but couldn't go to bed my thoughts were racing that I was going to die.. Its so scary. I'm always thinking there something wrong with me. 2 years ago I stopped drugs, alcohol and cigareetes and gave up on my negative friends. Thats the first thing you got to do, in order to get better.I pray everyday and read the bible everyday. Where both very lucky that nothing happened to both of us by doing drugs. But I have worse damage to my head from doing drugs. Even taking psychiatric drugs for years, Im screwed up, My hormones are screwed up, I have gastrointestinal problems and lack of periods from these psychiatric drugs. I tried stopping my Seroquel that I was on for 6 years, but I couldnt sleep. I stopped it for a mnth. and couldn't sleep that whole mnth. I experienced nerve sensatons, numbness and panic attacks from stopping. Im back on seroquel now with trileptal and I still get nerve sensations and a lot of anxiety before bed and heart pounding occasionally from trileptal. Im in a bad state too, that I dont know what to do.. I just pray a lot and go to church. Im proud of you that you stopped. Drugs are not cool. and there dangerous to our brain. Psych drugs are alright, but in the long run you develop more side effects from them. Write back please. Christina

Same experience here!!
I smoked a joint...started having panic attacks!
I don't think the pot was laced...but I do think it has something to do with the fertalizers that people use nowadays to grow weed.They are in fact pestacides..and whatnot..not meant for smoking.
Just thought i'd share..I quit too..hang in there.

Same exact experience. I had previously smoked pot for 3 yrs. Almost everyday, and some times i would solo blunts. Most of the time i would smoke a couple of bowls, or 1 or 2 joints. I was a pretty heavy smoker, until this one time. I smoked a blunt, and had a serious panic attack. And from that day on anytime i smoked weed, i had a panic attack. EVERY TIME.

Im glad this happened in the way that it made me stop smoking pot cold turkey. I have stopped for 3 months now, and don't want to smoke again. Knowing that i will go through another panic attack. As for long term, or as of right now being sober, im not sure what im still going through from that one night.

But i think it had to be laced, because ive smoked for 3 yrs steady, and have never had that experience. But whatever, im done with the ****, i think i got a little anxiety from that experience now..but i can live with it, and i think thats just what i needed to happen so i would quit that useless habbit.

Guess it was my bodies way of saying, STOP! GG

Good Luck. I'm not a "prayee type" but I'm praying for You. Drugs can be such sneaky killers, tempting one first with paradise & leaving one broken in pain. I'm not preaching,
I've smelt death. May God's Love & blessings shine all along Your path making clear what to do.
