so heres my story, i've smoked weed 2ice
before, once i had an extremely good trip
that lasted about 4 hours, i just remember
feeling so good and out of my mind, the
second i had a terrible trip that only
lasted an hour. i stopped smoking for
about 5 months. one day i go to a friends
house and he has chronic, for some reason
i get really tempted and ask him if i can
smoke out, and he says yea, so i blaze and
next thing i know i'm scared out of my
mind and i go running off to a place that
seems comfortable, i get there but it
doesn't help, i remember praying for it to
end and eventually after about 4 hours it
does. the next day i wake up feeling weird
the whole day, kind of out of it. the day
after that i wake up feeling scared for an
hour, then it goes away. nighttime comes
and i go to a party where i drink about 4
beers, a rockstar, and i take like 5 hits
of chronic (its my friends weed, its not
laced). i feel really good and messed up,
i go home go to sleep. i wake up and i
still feel really messed up, the hours go
by and i still feel messed up, i start
getting scared, its nighttime and it
barely starts coming down, or so i think.
i wake up the next morning feeling scared
and out of it. the whole day it feels like
if i'm coming up and down from this
horrible bad trip, and the rightside of my
brain feels like if its on fire, i can't
think all i can feel is fear, and the
feeling of being really uncomfortable. all
i do is cry and crawl up into a little
ball and shake, i would have sworn it felt
like if i was on that bad trip, feeling
really out of it and everything looking
distorted. this goes on for about 2
months, 2 doing it months, and finally i
don't feel as scared as i used to, slowly
slowly i feel a little better, week by
week. its been 6 months, and i don't feel
so scared anymore, but i still feel a
little out of it, and the right side of my
brain still feels numb every once and a
while, if someone told me this would go
away in a year i'd believe it. and thats
what i'm hoping for. as for the doctors,
medical question the doctors, i asked for
their help but they don't wanna waste
their time and money on me, i went to a
psychiatrist and he didn't know what to
tell me, except that he was gonna give me
medication to see how i feel, he didn't
tell me what it was for or what, he just
told me to take it, so i do, and i didn't
feel any better, but he insisted i
increase the dose this time, so i said no
thanks and never saw that lunatic again.
he gave me risperdal, without diagnosing
me or anything talk about malpractice.
anyway, i pray to god all of this goes
away by next year, its truly hell. if it
doesn't, i don't doubt i'll end up killing
myself. if you can help me please do. oh
i'm 17 years old by the way

Do you have the feeling that these
symptoms are the result primarily of the
cannabis?

Maybe that first time the marijuana was
laced with something. That's what it
sounds like to me anyway.
It could have been laced with LSD. That
would explain the bad trip. LSD can have a
long-term effect on the brain as well.

Or sometimes people who are prone to
anxiety/panic have bad experiences with
any drug, they trigger panic. I'd suggest
seeing a different psychiatrist!! The one
you saw didn't sound helpful or nice at
all.
