Can Smoking Weed Be Continued Once Panic Attack Symptoms Are Normal?

Hi, I ve been smoking weed for a little over a year now and last week I had my first panic attack, I have been prescribed leaxpro 10mg and anxicalm 5mg to deal with them. I had three yesterday and just want to know once I am better and feeling back to normal will I be able to continue smoking weed? I have tried smoking weed since but the effects seem to hit me a lot harder. What do you think?

I have gone through your case and would like to tell you that smoking weed can exaggerate your panic attacks.You will have to continue treatment and gradually stop smoking weeds as it temporarily may calm you but repeated use will worsen your condition with panic attacks occuring more frequently.
