Am I Going Crazy?

I don't know what started this.. but I am absolutely terrified. First off, I had my friend major panic attack the third time i smoked weed, mind you, it was WAY too much and I shook all night. Anyways, I am almost constantly feeling "dizzy". but not your normal dizzy. You know the way your head feels after you've been spinning around for a bit, all disoriented? I feel like that every day, with a very heavy/fuzzy feeling in my frontal lobe and between my eyes on most days. I am also very preoccupied with life and death. I don't try to be but these thought come on without my control. I fear I am not actually here, or I feel like I'm not living sometimes and life just passes by without me. Sometimes voices feel distant and far away or I do not fully register what is going on around me and just kind of float. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm in my body even. I'm so afraid of dying and not remembering what I did with my life. Im so afraid of not living a beautiful life that I'm proud of. I'm so afraid no one will ever love me. At night I sit and think about whats happening to me and almost lose it. I fear its going to get worse and I will lose control. I've been taking 40mg of prozac for about year for anxiety and depression but have never really experienced these symptoms before. I have tried to get off of my medication but at the same time, am very afraid of what will happen, if i get worse. I want to cry.. someone please help me figure this out.

I'm not a doctor so I can only give you my personal opinion, but you really need to make sure you aren't having an adverse reaction to Prozac. I know that with some medications they can build up in the brain and actually poison the brain if that organ isn't expelling the medication properly, I think its some kind of allergic toxic chemical reaction when this happens and I put two-and-two together when you said you feel dizzy and far away. Because I know of one case where this young man in his 20s was on an antidepressant that was in dangerous levels in his body because for some reason his body either wasn't expelling the medication right or it was too much in his body/brain chemistry. Basically he had some kind of medication "build up" and sent him into some kind of lethargic trance and he unfortunately took his own life -- this story is on youtube somewhere and his mother and a doctor talk about it. So please don't take my word for it - ask your doctor. I can only speak from personal experience and Prozac had a negative effect on me. You might also be experiencing something else here that no one can diagnose except a professional. Seek professional help to put your mind at ease, if you ever start feeling worse while on a medication it might be time to switch to another one.

And to add about talking with your doctor about prozac, perhaps not something to mix with mj?

Sounds like typical anxiety along with depersonalization/derealization. Your story is very common with people that experience dp/dr/anxiety. Now while I'm not a doctor and can't say for sure that this is what you have, it definitely sounds like it. First though, I would get some evaluation done just in case...that is if all of these symptoms you describe here seriously negatively impact your life, and it sounds like it is. So just to be on the safe side, I'd get some sort of evaluation done by a psychiatrist/psychologist. If everything checks out fine and they seem to think you're ok then you can rest easy knowing it really is just dp/dr/anxiety. I know it may sound weird to call it "JUST" dp/dr but it's not dangerous at all and like I said before, is quite common with people who have similar experiences panicking on drugs, usually weed. From this point on just never EVER use drugs again unless you really do want it to get worse. The fact that this isn't the first time you've panicked using weed before shows that its just not for you. It can and will get worse if you continue to use drugs in this vulnerable state. While it isn't dangerous like I said before, you can still make it worse by using drugs. As for what to do about the dp/dr; eventually it will subside just make the right choices from here on out and work on lessening your anxiety which can by itself, even cause the dp/dr in the first place. Hope that made sense. If it doesn't then shoot me a pm because I've had experience with this before.
