Hey, I am trying to find out if there is an actual condition for what has happened to me. I've talked to doctors but they just classify it as either panic attacks or anxiety attacks.

Back in high-school I smoked a lot of pot, had a major tolerance, no big deal. One day a friend came over at lunch and smoked some "hippy-crack" oil with me. I went to school pretty stoned, opened my science text book to a picture of the earth... and realized there is no God, and I'm going to die. My heart started racing, I could hardly breathe, and eventually I threw up from shear fear. I'm not talking about being stoned and philosophical--this was like pure fear injected through my skull and into the brain. I was able to comprehend the size of the earth and the universe. And then down to the smallest particles, and the amount of them that make up every bit of matter around me. Sound neat? IT'S NOT.

Ever since then, pot has FUCKED ME UP. And just about every night I get an "attack", even though I haven't smoked it in at least a year. I tried some a while ago to see if this had worn off. :( Not even remotely.

If you can think of any terms, names of conditions that this might fall under, please tell me.

If there is one other person with this out there, I would really like to find them. The unfortunate thing is, the symptoms sound so generic, they are all things I knew before this shit started. I predict 100% of you will feel what I described, but... just try not reply please... you know who you are out there. You've been wide-eyed, unblinking, unbreathing, shaking uncontrollably... I don't want to talk about life the universe and everything with people here, this is health related.

Sounds like panic attacks to me. Talk to a shrink.

Seems to me, like your little episode has made you insane in the membrane. I do believe, it's time for you to take a little trip to the funny farm.

Panic attacks. They can be cured with medication, or expensive therapy.
Smoking pot can bring out underlying mental illness, or so I heard.

When I was about 15 I used to LOVE smoking pot, I used to smoke pot all the time and have fun.... then around 17 I just started getting really uncomfortable and paranoid when I smoked. And now at age 21 I don't even want to smoke ever because it just makes me feel like everyone is staring at me and I focus on things too much.... Like being aware that you're breathing or that you're holding your a hand a certain way

Pot fucked your head. It happened to my cousin, now he's in hospital.

OP this happened to me last week whilst high, no throwing up though.

You CAN see a doctor, shrink, but it would just be better to cut back on the weed.

This happened to me and I wasn't high.

It wasn't a super panic attack, more like a slight nervous panic.

It happens on weird occasions for reasons I can't explain.

Drugs are illegal for a reason. Stop smoking pot, it isn't good for you!

yes, some peoples brain receptors are more likely to be affected permanently by an exogenous chemical. if you visit forums where nootropic substances and brain chemistry is discussed, you will probably get more specific information.

i used to get extreme panic attacks very very similar to your's, minus the pot.

i still get slight twangs of fear with these thoughts but i manage to think my way out of it and the relief afterwards is beautiful. nowadays i'm a lot more adjusted, though i'll always have a neurotic preoccupation with those "deep" thoughts, i guess you can say.

i suppose it's anxiety/panic disorder that pot triggered for you.

I always had thoughts about the universe and how nothing really mattered. Then I got over it. THEN I started developing panic attacks, mostly hypochondriac stuff. HHHHNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG, etc.
Now the science shit is starting to creep back into my head.
I've never done pot or any other illegal drugs.
Never been drunk for that matter.
Ever stop to think about the nature of matter and how much space is in between an atom's nucleolus and electron? Dude, it's like everything is practically nothing man!
