I had the same thing happen to me when i was younger, in my 20's. For me i would have a panic attack anytime i smoked at a certain point in my life when i went through depression and panic and no matter what the situation was because my body associated the panic with being high, i quite for 2 years and was panic free, i then decided to go back and first time had a panic attack, but i had to teach my body that there was no danger, so i would control my breathing and within 5 minutes it would pass, the more i continued to smoke and focus on my breathing the less it happened and here i am in my 30's and never get them from smoking anymore.

my heart always races when I smoke, I do have anxiety though and I think weed triggers it even when I’m by myself with nothing to worry about
Mixing them is dangerous for example with say mdma you can maybe end up with serotonin shock syndrome and that can be potentially lethal

It is I took klonopin for years. I lost them because I smoked. Yes they are very helpful just hard to get anyone to prescribe them. Good luck I hope you find peace somehow.

I've been fighting ptsd panic anxiety for years and yes it does suck..especially when I'm told to just calm down..relax. truth is it comes out one way or the other. Anxiety will twist me up physically as well as mentally. If you break a leg folks want to sign your cast and get well soon. When my mind or heart is broken I tend to get things like what's wrong with you..buck up and get control of yourself. I wish the world was more supportive of people like me who really are disabled because of this disease.

Many years ago i was on lexapro and for some reason weed was like crack. before then i often got panic attacks/anxiety when smoking. for some reason it was the opposite on lexapro and I couldn't go without it, smoking all day long. I eventually flushed the pills cold turkey and wound up in the mental hospital for a month. it was certainly triggered by not weening off the meds but I'm sure the weed had something to do with it. I was smoking like an 1/8 a day at least. i would be careful, but simple, if it makes you feel bad don't do it.

I take antidepressants for my OCD, most of time I can handle doing both, but if I mix a heavy sativa with them, I tend to get a bit antsy..

I never noticed a difference how weed hits me with combining ssris and weed but for everyone this is different. I don't take them anymore after I had some type of stroke from being on Wellbutrin, Lexapro and Adderall Xr. Since then i quit cold turkey and went to weed full time IMHO i've been more healthier except my lungs. I still take xanax for panic attacks but those are rare.

Antideprasan and cannabis thc don't interact, does it? I have an appointment next week, my psychiatrist will prescribe me an antidepressant with a 90% probability.
I guess sativa makes it restless and triggers panic attacks? As far as I understand, they suggest more indica.

Did those drugs interact with the herb?
What would you advise me mate? my doctor will prescribe ssri antideprasan, probably a low dose, between 10 / 15 mg. Do you think it would be a problem for me to smoke weed after about 15 days after my body got used to these drugs? at least 1 joint in the evening

Do you have panic attacks? When you say paralysis, is this a real paralysis? Or did you experience a feeling of paralysis psychologically? What would you recommend to me. Do you think using antidepressants for 2-3 months will cure me? For some reason, when I smoke weed, most likely an attack comes. By the way, which genetics did you good? Also would you recommend indica?

Yes, sativa strains really get excelled by my meds, indica isn't as bad but I still love sativas.

I have tried not taking meds to see if just the cannabis will help, it doesn't, my ocd goes insane if I don't stick to my schedule. I feking hate ocd, it's a nightmare.
