I have been smoking majuana off and on for 15 years.
I was smoking it pretty regularly (this was winter/spring 1990-91.
I had a panic attack while smoking it. I stopped and was taken to the
hospital. My friends and I thought I was having a heart attack.
After all the tests I was fine. I was now learning about panic attacks
I didn't smoke "pot" for the next two years. I took only the anti-depressants,
and xanax I was prescribed. I tried some trycillic ADmeds and some ssri's
I finally ended up on prozac 80 mg. and xanax as needed. I started smoking "pot"
during this time and have had no problems.
I have a new pdoc and he knows I smoke pot, about one year ago he prescribed buspar and
gradually took me off xanax (i stopped pretty fast...very unpleasant.) "pot" was a great help
coming off of the xanax. I had been on buspar and serzone for the last year. I was tired allot
so he swithed to WellbutrinSR and I continue to take buspar and marajuana.
Its been 3 months and I feel great..The wellbutrin perks me up the buspar keeps my mind at ease
and in the evenings and when I have nothing to do, I smoke pot......
