    As a man who’s been on SSRIs for almost 7 years I can’t recommend them enough. Second only to THC.

      Unfortunately that’s a hard pass on the THC. It actually can cause panic attacks.

      I loved smoking weed, but it was always a major trigger for a panic attack unless I did 50%+ CBD bud and 50% low/med THC bud. Eventually it got so bad that no matter how much CBD I used I would still get panic attacks.

      Anxiety sucks… :(

        Yeah weed can amplify paranoia when taking a high dose for your tolerance.

        I had a roomate that ate my 200mg of cookies and had a panic attack

        Low doses and CBD are usually ok for sensitive people.

        I wouldn’t treat a mental health issue with THC. However, I have anxiety which is why I take an SSRI so I don’t really worry about a panic attack; the meds take care of that.

          I’m on Prozac and I’ve had two panic attacks. The first one I thought was a heart attack and I checked myself into the emergency room.

            That sucks! Have you tried any others? I’m on Zoloft, my wife was on Lexapro but that wasn’t working well for her so she switched, I can’t remember to what.

        Yeah, certain people, like me, have to be careful. Too much, too quickly and it’s an instant panic attack for me. I didn’t give it up since I enjoy the other effects a lot.
