Brief Answer:
Consultation
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.
