If you are going to try it, start with small doses first. For me, it makes my anxiety worse. I only ever smoke when I know I am in a good mood and happy. When I am in a bad mood, it makes me feel SUPER anxious.

I took indica edibles for a few months to help me fall asleep. Never really had a bad experience with the indica edibles, but I did with hybrid ones. One day I went out and took too many and had a really bad experience. My anxiety shot up and I had very vivid intrusive thoughts. I ended up in the emergency room. I think only the CBD is what really helps with anxiety. THC may cause the opposite effect if you take too much.

And it also depends how it works if you're on medication!

I agree! I’m sorry you had to go through that. I took a hybrid 5 mg gummy once and that was definitely a lot (also it was my first time).. some mild hallucinations, time distortion, shivers, talking loudly, and breaking out into a cold sweat.

It depends on the person. Just don’t use it as a crutch.

I would say it has never helped my anxiety long term. I will say sometimes it’s good to use to let loose for a bit. I will say though be extremely careful with the dose. I am an experienced user and I can’t do more than 5mg at a time. I would say try finding edibles of 3mg or less if you can, and try to get them from a reliable source like a dispensary. Take the small dose the first time you try it and don’t do any more than that. If you feel very little or nothing. On a different day try a little more but still keep it under 5mg. Also have what you are going to do planned out. I like to listen to music in a pitch black room or watch an indie movie. Edibles kick in in about 45 minutes and last about 4 hours, peaking after 2 hours after eating it. A low dose with chill vibes will allow anxiety to wash away for those 4 hours.

Thanks so much! I appreciate it and yes 5 mg is a lot for me too.

Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?

I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?

I'm anxious about looking for/starting therapy even though I know it'll be worth it. I'd love to hear any advice/experiences anyone is comfortable sharing!
