Anxiety, Marijuana: Why Is Marijuana Giving You Anxiety Attacks?

Anxiety, Marijuana: A Profile

Destroys the myth that marijuana is nature's prozac and gives suggestions on combatting it's negative effects on anxiety!

Anxiety, Marijuana: Mellow Drug or Anxiety Demon?

I'll Give You A Hint...It's Both.

Calm your anxiety attack.

Isn't marijuana supposed to make you chill, mellow, laid back? Well, it does for some. The only problem is that for others it creates anxiety attacks.

Other times and for other people it does just the opposite!

I'm sure you've been there, I sure have! It's not fun. In fact, it can be down right terrifying.

Marijuana is unpredictable and can cause a wide variety of effects. I know personally that when I smoked pot back in high school and college the effect was primarily positive, I used to laugh, feel relaxed, zone out.

However, as I got older and certain stressors in life became overwhelming it started to have another effect entirely. Panic. And, not just when I was stoned.

I remember a couple of times I had to leave a party and just walk around by my myself for two hours because I was too high to go back into the party. Real fun.

Then the next day I wasn't much better. That's the real worry.

Anxiety, Marijuana: Is The Anxiety Caused By The Pot Or External Stressors?

Again...Both!

The fact is that marijuana messes with your brain chemistry, it augments whatever you're feeling, good, bad or indifferent.

And unfortunately, with repeated use the balance gets more and more out of whack.

I wouldn't say marijuana caused anxiety or panic attacks, but it makes them much, much worse. And also once you have a panic attack your body is learning an irrational behavior, which can make it much more difficult to shut off.

I know, seemingly harmless fun can become really serious. I mean obviously the movie Reefer Madness(portrayl of weed in the 1930's) is a total joke and I'm not going that route on you.

But, for certain people pot can really heighten their anxiety and get them in a pattern of having panic attacks while completely sober.

Ouch!

Anxiety, Marijuana: Anxiety Attacks: How Do I Get Rid of Them?

Diet, Exercise, and Therapeutic Cognitive Techniques

You can definitely get rid of anxiety/panic attacks... I certainly did, and mine were bad!

There are many things that will help a ton.

Diet and exercise are key. With exercise you burn stress hormones and produce endophins which will make you more calm.

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is very calming for the nervous systerm, along with supplementing with magnesium.

Lastly, and certainly most importantly, at least for me, was learning cognitive behavorial techniques from PanicAway. It's an online program that myself and at least 26,000 other people swear by. Definitely check it out! You'll be glad you did. Your life will be back in your hands. :)

Peace and happy days ahead to you!

Marijuana does have the tendency to make some people paranoid. Great info! Who would have ever linked a drug that is supposed to mellow you out to causing exactly the opposite.

Could it be that marijuana might give your a temporary form of mitochondria? Saying Marijuana can cause anxiety in some is like saying "Being a race car driver is great, but if you have paranoia issues you could die if you panic on the wrong turn".

MJ is not for everyone, its like any other medication some people react to it normally and others abnormally is all. Quit jumping to conclusions "Mr. Scientist".
