Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,
Based upon your symptom profile, you seem to be suffering from cannabis (marijuana) induced panic attacks. This is often referred to as bad trips in popular lingo. In the larger interest of your own general health, I sincerely advice you to stop smoking marijuana in any form. Since cannabis being a psychoactive substance can induce psychotic states & a condition of generalised decreased desire to perform any activity known as amotivational syndrome. My advice is you should consult a Psychiatrist & ask him about treatment with Venlafaxine & clonazepam for your anxiety symptoms & abstain from marijuana as soon as possible. Good luck
