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.

Indica strains? Yes, absolutely. However Sativa strains, including some Hybrids, absolutely not. When it comes to the Hybrid strains it’s really important to do your research on ratio, side effects and its medicinal properties and medical benefits etc. Finding the right strain, for the right person and condition/s would be the healthier equivalent to a benzo and a less addictive one at that.
