Severe depression and panic attacks advice on CBD flower I have

Posted by ladybug211 @ladybug211, Dec 17, 2022

Hi everyone,
I used to suffer from severe panic attacks and depression (about 20) years ago) With orescribed Celexa and Clonazepam they went away for almost 15 years.
Recently due to severe stress and some violent episodes with my addicted daughter I have regressed badly. To the point of which I cry when my husband leaves the room or goes to work. I panic all day long and cry until he gets home. I’m afraid of being alone and afraid of everything. My doctor tried to put me back on the very same meds I took, 20 years ago, but the Celexa side effects were unbearable even at half a 5mg pill.
The Clonazepam works but I feel more depressed and have no energy to even get out of bed. I’ve tried all the other SSRI’s and My system just can’t handle the side effects
A friend of ours (who grows CBD flower called Charlottes Angel- it’s ratio is 1% thc to 15%
CBD) recently gave me some to try but I have been afraid to because I take .05 mg of Clonazepam. I really only take 3/4 of a pill a day. Has anyone ever tried this or can someone guide me in the right direction.
I am just so sick and tired of feeling like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Lisa

ladybug211 (happy holidays, at least as good as it can get with our condition.)
I also did about all the medications. I finally started on Clonopin (only) and
have had the best results so far. 2 mornings, 2 evenings with (almost) no side effects except I wake at 5- 6 am every morning, go to the Kitty litter box and
then I have a hard time falling asleep again. The gears in my brain will start turning reminding me of stuff I should not be thinking about that early. I turn on my reading light and read a bit till the gears slow down and I get drowsy again.
Contrary to what bad expeiences some have had with clonopin Which is just NOT the correct med for them, I am lucky ( so far, I'm doing best on this.)
I feel for you and wish your higher power will help you with your battle.

Gut health seams to be the answer for a lot of mental side tracks.

Hi LB,
Finished Clonopine prescription, Started with Zoloft, Did not agree with me because I missunderstood and took max 100mg. stopped after 4 days after feeling ill. Talked to Doc. Stopped Zoloft and started another prescription of Clonopine. take as needed he said. 3rd day and I feel about as ill and nauseous as one can get. Having unpleasant racing thoughts as well which I haven't had since my mental problems started. just before Covid. I need to read or watch
TV to relieve those symptoms. Have Doc appointment next week. Hope he can help.
Do I dare to say Happy New Year to all?

I am having chronic anxiety attacks. I wonder if some of my meds are responsible. I now take loxapine, nortryptiline, amantadine, and lorazepam at night and I am tapering off of trazodone. I take sertraline in the morning and an additional lorazepam as needed during the day for anxiety.
