Am I Schizo?
Posted: 01-21-06 07:23am

I've been very depressed the last two years, lost my girl all out of a sudden, my dad died, low confidence and everything.
Been on amphetamine, flunitrazepam and weed wit' alcohol a couple of times ,but it's months ago.
Well I smoked a joint the other day n suddenly I got a hardcore panic attack, I didn't smoke more but the next day I experienced several attacks, where I was just scared to death and shaking out of control for hours.
I also got the feeling that the world was totally fake, and for a few seconds it felt like my parents tried to controll my thoughts and was type of aliens, also when I watched tv it was like it answerd things I said.
They say it's just normal panic/anxiety attacks, but I don't know....
I'm scared to death for going schizophrenic.
Can this symptoms be normal panic/anxiety?

I had a realy bad acid trip a long time ago and for a month after I was okay smoking weed. But then out of nowhere prettymuch I just started to get these panic attacks when I smoked so I quit. Bad heartbeats like pounding and weakness. All that.

Yea I had several attacks where I just laid down on the couch shaking for 2hours.
But for a couple of seconds, when my mom tried to calm me down, I suddenly knew she was a alien tryin' to controll my mind...
It just lasted for a few seconds tho

R U Schizophrenic?
Posted: 01-30-06 14:35pm

Hi, I work in mental health, & all I can say is: it doesnt sound like u have schizophrenia yet. But if u dont pack in the drugs (all of em) then u soon could have. I have seen it thousands of times. One puff of a joint can set some people off. Please, if u care about ur future - stop the drugs today!!!

Good luck

Thanks for answers.

Well, I only did amphetamines 4-5times about 3months ago last time.

Never changed me... So I guess it didn't do any damage?

I will never touch it ever again tho.

My dad was a hardcore drugaddict, 2-3gs amphetamine and 10g's of weed everyday in many years.

He was in the loony bin like 20 times, believing he was jesus and a lot of stuff, but he recoverd from that so I guess it was just druginduced psychosis.


Anyway, i'm just thinking if I were prone to schizophrenia, it would been triggerd a million joints ago?

I've smoked like 10-20joints everyday in 2 years now...


I'm taking a break from weed, indeed, but i'd like to be able to take a joint now and then later on in my life...



The last couple of days has been without any panic, some extreme headaches, feverish feelings, swollen eyelid on left eye has been instead.

When I experienced this intense fullblown panicattacks my mind would be thinking thoughts like "we're stuck in the middle of a universe we know nothing about and all act like it's normal, how the medical question?"
and these thoughts really made me freak out, just by writing this I feel the fear and thoughts coming...


Anyway, i'd be a lot greatful if you got any more answers?
