Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

It is true that effect of marijuana are variable and any person can develop any symptoms of any psychiatric disorders including anxiety, depression, psychosis, mania among others. However the management of marijuana induced anxiety is largely supportive and low dose of benzodiazepines can be of much help. I often prescribe 0.25 to 0.50 mg of clonazepam for such patients and see remarkable benefit among them.

Prozac have no role in acute anxiety induced by marijuana.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.

Yes it could be depersonalization

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.

Depersonalisation state is also a form of anxiety and it can be induced by marijhuana. Since you were feeling in dream like state and two days were complete blur your condition can be termed as depersonalisation. However to state it conclusively the provided information is never complete as a doctor/psychiatrist need to personally examine before labelling a diagnosis.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
