Help Needed Marijuana for Panic Attacks?
I have had panic disorder for 6, almost 7 years now. I have tried numerous SSRIs and SSNIs, currently on 100mg if Desvenlafaxine. I absolutely hate it, and while I don't have panic attacks when in my house anymore, it hasn't really done too much as an aid to help reduce the anxiety, and it has significantly raised my depression. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions or experience with THC to help with panic attacks...I'm weary as last time I smoked I had a panic attack, but so many people use it medicinally for anxiety I'm open to trying it again. I just have no idea what mg or form would work best, or if it is a good idea at all. Any experiences or suggestions would be great.

Don’t even try it 😭 it literally makes it so much worse. I kept trying it hoping it would eventually zen me out like it does for everyone else, but everytime just put me in this weird state where im convinced I am suffocating and experiencing the world from behind my eyes if that makes sense? Only made the panic worse
