Marijuana induced panic & anxiety
2-3 years ago i smoked too much of marijuana and got a massive panic attack, after that episode i stopped every type of smoking. But i developed anxiety disorder and due to high anxiety i was prescribed clonazepam and then i started having skipped beats. Now I have fear of rapid heart beat due to which i stopped jogging,i do only walking. I have done every tests possible to rule out any major concerns. But this anxiety is not leaving me. I am becoming hypochondriac. I fear to live alone. Now a days even small worries gives me panic, and chest pains. Please suggest me what to do.

Hello,
Cannabis can be a precipitating factor for anxiety and panic disorder. Worries about future misfortunes, difficulty in concentrating, restlessness, trembling, inability to relax, sweating, increased heart beat, dry mouth, etc can be present in anxiety disorder. Panic attacks in which you feel everything is going to end is present in about 25% of people having anxiety disorder. In Panic attack there is a anticipatory anxiety of having one more panic attack. The most effective treatment is probably one that combines medicine, psychotherapy and supportive approaches.
