I started to get panic attacks when i smoke weed so i stopped and haven't smoked for almost 2 months now but all my mates still smoke and i really want to do it on the odd occasion, i want to know if taking xanax before i smoke will do anything to stop the panic attacks from happening

wtf would you want to smoke weed if it gives you panic attacks? dont feel obligated to smoke weed just because your friends are.

    I've got a great solution to your problem.
    It works really well to ease those panic attacks.
    Much better than Xanax.
    You can get it anywhere, it's real cheap too.
    STOP SMOKING IT.

    I also have suffered panic attacks from smoking weed. For me, it was usually when I was using alcohol as well or smoking a lot- like every day. Sometimes it actually seemed to be related to the type of weed itself which made me wonder if something had been added to it. Back to your question, Xanax being an anti-anxiety drug would probably help since panic attacks generally begin with anxiety. I would also consider the strength of the weed, the higher the level of THC, the more likely you will have a reaction. Personally, I found that smoking less often and smoking less when I did smoke stopped the panic attacks. Hope this helps…

    Seriously, this is how people end up in rehab.

    Xanax is VERY VERY addictive. You will now be addictive to 2 drugs instead of one.

    Get help to help yourself today. Get new friends if you have to. Love yourself enough to do this….good luck my friend.

    First off, mixing xanax with anything is going to have side effects, and they typically won’t be good. Marijuana is a depressant and if you experience anxiety attacks while smoking it continuing to smoke it can lead to depression. In your case, you obviously aren’t experiencing the drug the same way your friends do so I see no fun that, you’ll be a buzz kill.

    Marijuana however is NOT an addictive drug physically. It can create a physiological addiction but you need to be strong minded when fighting a craving. The word “no” is pretty powerful, use it.

    Both drugs alter brain chemicals and your nervous system, mixing the two might give you a different high and you will probably become very fatigued… that’s because your body is trying to offset the drugs and return to normal. Avoid the long term effects, pick one or the other.

    I get panic attacks if I smoke weed too.
    I smoked daily for about 6 yrs, and spent a year getting anxiety from it.
    Just quit, your brain doesn’t like it any more, it has stopped being fun, so why keep it up?!
