Anxiety recovery

[alfred24]

Is anyone here from a drug induced anxiety disorder (recreational drugs) ? If not then this can go out to anyone with anxiety in general.
Does it seem like you're getting better? Recovering? You wake up unsure how you feel? Unsure if you're anxious or not? Like you don't feel anxious or anything. Except when you think of something or close your eyes and for a split second you have a quick rush of slight fear and it quickly goes away? Has anyone felt like that?

Hey alfred.

Are we talking recreational drugs, or prescription?

Recreational drugs

Did you have "bad trip"?

[NixonRulz]

I don't think I have lingering issues from the 1, or 500 times I did recreational drugs.

One time I was so convinced I was going to die from an excessive night that I think I said The Lords Prayer 1000 times until I came down a bit

[alfred24]

Did you have "bad trip"?

Yea I did and it freaked me out and had a panic attack while it was happening. So that made it worse. It was from smoking spice

Well yea, some people have no problems whatsoever, but a lot of people have came on an anxiety disorder from doing a recreational drug

I can completely understand how people would develop that into anxiety

Alfred24 a couple of years ago I had the same experience with a similiar drug. Worst night of my life and have not touched anything since. Like nixon, I prayed and prayed. Sometimes just thinking about that night freaks me out. I used to feel invincible until that night. But time does heal many things and step by step you will feel better. The intensity of that trip will diminish. Just talking about it helps.

I think the problem now is the fact that you had a panic attack, not the drug per se. When you have a panic attack, you will usually fear having another one. You might even avoid all the situations in which you had your first one. Just realize that it was a panic attack, and nothing else. Well you should still get checkups to make sure you're in decent health.

Yea the panic attack freaked me out. But I don't feel fear that much anymore. I did the drug in November of 2012. I was worse the month after that. But it's not like that anymore. It seems to come back every couple weeks or so. But not as intense as it did when I first started having anxiety attacks and stuff. I'm just worried my brain was damaged in some form. But the ct scan and MRI says otherwise. I guess what I wanted to know is if what I'm feeling with every month that passes is a sign of recovery. I don't feel as afraid as I used to. Just little bouts once in awhile and head pressure that scares me and makes me pretty anxious but I think the head pain is unrelated and just scares me because I'm feeling pain in my head area. I want to know if you can recover from anxiety disorder especially from one induced by doing recreational drugs. I mean That night I smoked spice was the first time I had ever tried it. I took 5 hits and 10 minutes later it happened and the rest is history.

So you experienced something similar years ago? Can you honestly say it went away? Youre doing better now since you it happened to you? Is that how became anxious? Or have you had an anxious disorder before then?

The thing that hurt me the most from my panic attack was paying too much attention to my body at first. You say you feel head pain. I don't think this drug altered your brain to make you get headaches all the time. Make sure the doctor knows you did this drug so they can take that into account during testing. Make sure you're drinking enough water and eating / sleeping normally.

I did LSD twice and had a bad trip the second time. I realized later it was just unmasking anxiety that was there all along at a lower level. Alankay

Yea they know I did the drug. It seems like I am always worried about what Im feeling. The doctor that saw me was really cool. Liked him a lot. He says I may be stuck with how I am for about a year. So maybe it's something I'll have to get through and wait out

I did have one anxiety incident a couple of years prior to my bad trip that was completely unrelated to partying. I was totally clean at the time. Was working in a really bad area of the city and it was stressing me out. The bad trip anxiety feeling was totally different. Like you I thought I screwed up my brain and internal organs. Give it time and you will feel better. I listened to a bunch of relaxation and hypnosis apps. Get counseling or therapy if need be. Recovery will feel like a crazy rollercoaster ride. But as time passes the ups and down will be less intense with less frequency. Like alankay said the anxiety was always there dormant. The bad trip just woke it up. I wouldnt say that I am totally back to normal. But it doesnt paralyze me like before. I can function just fine.

Dude thanks. You're the first one to give me a clear outlook on what to think and expect from this. Thanks. I believe I'll get through this now.
