Whats is best for anxiety?

I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I have had a lot of panic attacks in the past. I used to always smoke no problem, but now when I do I sometimes have a panic attack. it is not a pleasant experience at all. I feel like I'm dying. My doctor said the easy answer is to stop smoking, but I miss it.

To get to the point, what strains have you grown or smoked that have a more calming affect like xanax or valuim? Some people say indica is the answer, but others say that it makes them paranoid. Really I'm looking for a specific strain that I can grow and take like one hit of to relax. Thanks!

Man, id go for the pills, pills are damn good.

I have all the xanax and ativan and lexapro I could want, but that stuff is highly additive and you grow too tolerant of it. I just want to toke up and relax, so what is a good strain that anyone knows of for relaxing? thanks

Have you tried cooking with it?

listen to jimi..purple haze lol j/p, idk man indicas put me in kind of down sleepy state, more than sativa anyway

maybe indica is the answer. I'm looking to be sedated rather than energetic. I can't even drink caffeine lol. My heart easily beats to fast when I smoke. Does indica make your heart beat fast?

P.S.-what is a good indica strain if you think that's the answer?

cooking and eating like midgrade said would put you in a body high as well, alot different than smokin. i would try that

Iam sorry to say i have the same problem and didnt know it was a generalized anxiety disorder that realy freaks me out. Ive been smoking a good 13 years or more and have found this happening to me more and more over the last 5 years. Happend last night sometimes i think my hart is stopping or going to explode its horrid.

I will be keeping a good eye on this thread and what i have noticed is some types of hash dont seem to do it as bad. Last year i got hold of 1 oz of sticky indian hash that gave a real nice stoned with no anxiety. This stuff just isnt around all the time

I've heard mazar has the strain traits you want

Mail those pills yet?

It's not the bud, it's you. By feeling the way you are is the bud's way of showing that you have mental issues. Now don't have a heart attack, I'm not implying that you're a complete loon, merely that you may have some minor issues.

I recommend lifting some weights, and buy yourself some new clothes. I think it's a self esteem issue.

I had the same problem ,

It goes away eventually ,

i know that it's me. my mother has the same issues so i guess i inherited it.she can't even leave the house because of her anxiety. i know the weed just doesn't mix well if you are really stressed to start with. i would still like to smoke a tolerable amount sometimes though. i havent smoked in about six months. im on lexapro and it really has saved my life. now that i feel a little more even i would like to smoke a bit i just want to grow a strain that doesnt mess with me as much. i just ordered bubbleiscious, white widow, and northern lights from nirvana. of those of you who have tried these strains, which would you reccomend as the least paranoa provoking and more relaxing?

I would say go with what Mogie said.
It sounds like most kush will do this.
She did mention the NL.

Good luck

I have the same thing. I've had five panic attacks....and I've been high during all of them. I'm thinking it's weed related.

The weed will bring out any issues you have, it is then up to you to address them.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I had been having problems with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression. I am on Lexapro now and it has been a good decision. I feel better than I have since...well...since I can remember. I'm also not smoking for now, haven't been for over a month...that helped even me out as well. I will start smoking again when I can smoke what I have grown, not what I would get off of the street-that seems to be part of the problem with me. Also, I have found that DEEP breathing exercises help when I get panic attacks.

benzodiazepams suck. if you can't deal w/ anxiety, damn. breathe. i used to watch Coach and that one guy always inhaled a brown bag that u'd put a 40oz in. Maybe you should look into therapy. If things are stressing you out enough to cause anxiety issues, maybe it's psychological. first and foremost you shouldn't look for answers here b/c we're high.
