Question hey , im suffering realy badly and rite now im not even sure if im alive, alseep, dreaming this as i write it im 17 and about a month and a half ago i had a very bad trip after smoking cannabis which i had only done twice before hand this trip made me soooo anxious becasue in the trip it felt like a broken record was going over and over in my mind and i thought i was dead looking down on my life then i thought i was having a heart attack and was in a coma dreaming then finally i thought i had passed out and was trippin out in my mind asleep. Ever since then i have been increasingly anxious and always thinking about what is going to happen. i have had some very bad flashbacks and just on thursday which was 6 days ago i had a big flashback which reduced me to tears ten on saturday i felt extremly scared and terrified to the point where i started having severe panic attacks again. and now it is tuesday and yesterday i went to see my doctor he seemed like he didnt really know what he was on about he prescribed me buspar which i have taken for one day which was monday and i am terrified to take them again as they made me feel "stoned" and unable to think for myself they made me feel as if my speach was slurred The main reason of all if this is that i am soo scared iam not real i am convinced i am not real atall nothin is real and im very very pertrified and i really do not know what to do any more it has reached the point where i am just sick of feeling this way even though i dont believe i am real.

Answer Hello Mary,
The probable reason why you had such an adverse reaction to marijuana is that you are possibly hypoglycemic. Please test yourself with the
If you score is high it is likely that you are hypoglycemic, which can be treated by going on a hypoglycemic diet. Hypoglycemia is also responsible for anxiety attacks.
and ask for a referral to a Nutritional Doctor, a Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychologist if he wants to.
Buspar is not a bad drug compared to other psychotropic drugs, but still it is a drug and will do nothing to "cure" the real causes of anxiety attacks. It is palliative only.
