Hoping to get some help from some of the board members. I go through anxiety bouts every once in a while, where I feel panicky and am unable to cope with my normal things. I don't always have anxiety, but it does trigger at times and the feeling is just awful. I'm in that situation now. About a week ago, I began to feel really anxious and have been finding it very hard to relax and stay still. I'm sure it is because my current schedule has changed and I'm a creature of habit and I think this is what's causing it. I feel that I constantly need to move around and do something because otherwise, I panic and get extremely anxious.

I noticed I feel the most anxious first thing in the AM, as soon as I wake up. So, I go to the kitchen and begin to make breakfast and eat it as fast as I can since I can't even really sit down and enjoy the meal. I then, get my gym bag ready and head out quickly to the gym. As soon as I begin the workout, I begin to feel a little better and, by the middle of the workout I noticed I'm calmer. However, the rest of the day I still have some lingering anxiety feeling though not as strong as first thing in the morning.

I'm not a big fan of benzos for obvious reasons, but I have some Xanax and Clonazepam on hand even though I do not have a lot of experience with them. I do everything I can to not take them and just deal with the anxiety. I'm getting to a point where I need to find some relief even if this means to take a benzo here and there until all of this passes away which I know from past experience it will.

My question is, if I were to take a benzo before the gym, do you think it would affect my workout by making me drowsy? Does anyone notice that effect of sleepiness or do you simply you feel more relaxed? Also, if you could choose between Xanax and Clonazepam, which one would you take before the gym or in the earlier hours of the day?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I take clonazepam for my anxiety as well. I have taken them before I train and I have absolutely no issues. It does not make me drowsy it calms my nerves. It’s really frustrating because I go a few days and feel fine and then the next day I’m nervous. My heart is racing and I have no idea why. If you need your medication, just take it that’s what it’s for. Hang in there, buddy.

 

[BLKGUY2006]

Absolutely. I am not trying to make light of it. You need to know yourself and track record when it comes to certain drugs and how you handle them. I went through a divorce, I’ve had a business go into bankruptcy, etc and for me going into opiate oblivion was never appealing. I am able to use a minimal dose as a crutch in the gym and use it in high stress situations almost like a beta blocker - I posted recently how I take them when I have speaking engagements in front of large crowds. But again - didn’t meant to just say go pop opiates willy nilly - but I do believe for the right person they can be beneficial.

It’s so crazy how these medications affect people so differently. Hydro’s don’t make me feel any different and do nothing for pain. I’ve had 6 operations on my shoulders and knees and was given oxycodone for postoperative pain. I use them when I needed to, but not one time have I ever felt euphoric or high.
I get sick and tired of the general public and doctors now thinking that you we will get addicted if you use them. I’m walking around with a shoulder that needs to be replaced that hurts like hell. I can’t have the replacement procedure because I won’t be able to do my job. Yet when I go in nursing homes and look at a patient’s medication’s, damn near every one of them are on a narcotic. It just pisses me off that I’m a functioning member of society who needs the medication to provide relief and can’t get it. But if I’m 70 in a damn assisted living home, they’ll load me up like a damn piggy bank with coins.. so where is the concern about “addiction“ when it comes to senior citizens????

Yea I use to smoke since I was 12 all day and all night.now I take one hit and the anxiety is ridiculous huge . I can’t touch that at all anymore.so yes everyone is different and or we change with age. I’m 52 now

Cbg flower is fantastic if you want all of the medicinal effects of the cannabis without that horrible dry mouth anxiety. Besides..the stuff today doesn't replicate truly wild grown herb that used to so much lesser anxiety causing.

The place I go to doesn't care they are very aggressive unlike most places that are super careful... worried you will bitch or give them bad reviews if you blister or scar. Chest both arms now both calves now had blasted and covered. Chest was horrible... swelled up looked like I had tits...then it traveled down into my stomach. The pain is pretty bad and the smell of burning flesh doesn't help lol

doing laser on skin that was tat`d the day before is not aggressive, its STUPID and dangerous! I`d be surprised if they are even licensed. Now you have hyper/hypopigmentation. Way to go. Slow down a little, ask yourself "are these BIG decisions really going to impact me tomorrow or next week?" You are stressing over nothing burgers.

If you google white cbg hemp flower..it's the first result on google from rogue. Yes..look up research on cbg flower. This is perfect for medical users without intoxication effects.

 

[Anabolic_Beast]

I don't smoke it..I just decarb it in air fryer in glass mason jar (look up how to decarb cbg flower) then grind up the decarbed flower..and then take it (half tsp powder) with full fat yogurt. Make sincere Intention that your gonna get this stuff to replace all narcotics and to replace all of that prescription stuff..to become natural. No more bad headiness..no more intoxication..etc
This is message for everybody..stay away from those pills..all of that codeine stuff or whatever..those pills are bad for you.

CBG? uh wha wha? CBGBs in NYC with the Ramones. this world is crazy I'm telling you time. Time goes by fast ladies and gents.

 

[BigNJ]

Have your doctor prescribe you Trintillix it's a good send.

 

[Rafacarvalho]

It is important to remove stimulants that act on the central nervous system such as caffeine, yohimbine, ephedrine and the like.

If you use it, try theanine and taurine, which do not cause anxiety.

Another point, as I mentioned in the previous paragraph, is that excessive coffee consumption spreads anxiety.

How is your intestinal health, there are already studies that directly correlate intestinal health with anxiety.

Stay away from steroids such as trenbolone, nandrolone, boldenone which lower neurotransmitters such as GABA which will generate anxiety and do not use Cabergoline which will generate the same side effect.

I hope I helped a little, I hope you get better.

I couldn't get much of a feel for cbg flower. Cbdv flower is something I keep on hand at all times and is very calming, but what do you get out of cbg? And how much do you use at a time?

So for CBG the trick is you gotta dose is real high at like 500mg. I do a full half a tsp of the decarbed cbg flower powder so the dose is huge but noticeable. Cbg has like <0.2% thc so it's not gonna make you"feel" it so much. So with cbg it's just real calming, anxiety relieving and your eyes remain real clear looking but your So calm at the same time but zero intoxication.

Ahh... There we go. Mine is not decarbed but it goes in a pipe and lights up just fine. I have had this ounce for well over a year and just use it here and there when I'm in pain. I usually mix it with thc or cbdv and never paid attention to the effects other than anti inflammatory.

But this is nice, calm without sedation. Thanks for the mention, I usually forget it's in my drawer.

Yeah enjoy it. Let us know how it goes for yiu with the decarb and then toss into yogurt and eat method. Very medicinal stuff and very underrated natural and non intoxicating cannabis and federally legal is awesome.

see when I smoke, I GET ANXIETY. goes to show you everyone is different. I get in my head and shit. . I did shrooms once...called 911. I'm THAT guy. everyones wired differently.

thank you!
lol
ive been waiting for that reply!
i hope you in particular pay attention to what im about to try and share, you have mentioned uncontrolled anxiety before and freaking out from psychedelics.

not picking on you but you gave me some good examples so ill try to use them.
the drugs that YOU are using are drugs that block out thinking, they make you unconcious, numb they do not help or allow you to learn and think better they shut you off. in this case benzos. but we talked a little in an adderal thread and its very similar. amphs promote ego based focus and thought. thinking i, i, i. they shut you down to the connection to the world around you and the realities of life outside of your head.

psychedelic drugs basically do the opposite. they get you out of your normal line of thinking often in an uncomfortable or scary way. they help you to recoginze that you are a misucually small part of an infinately large system but at the smae point vitally connected to it and many things are outside of your control.

the behaviors you have listed are childish, imiature and unnecessary, you are doing them because you are delusional and paniced. the conciouness that is recognized as "normal" and fostered by standard medicine and social methods is largely delusional. they put an over importance on self. the types of drugs that drs use for ths do not make you more aware of your thoughts, emotions and thought process they dull you to it.

with psychedelics you are forced to confrom these emotions. this is why they are effective for treating serious behavior disorders and substance abuse issues. if you get paranoid taking these things you should use that to your advantage, like a work out. recognize you have some sort of underlying issue and basically take the compound to encorage the anxiety to come on, before hand knowing this would happen and be in a possition to work your way through it, trying to get to the route or origen of that emotion.

at any given time we are the sumb of our entire emotional experience. to live normally we ignore, block out dont focus on various parts of our emotions, usally painful and traumatic expereinces. look at these as road blocks on a highway built on neurotransmitters. they will be high points that you feel like you cant unbuild. use drugs to go back to such a hightened chemical state in a safe and controlled environemt, possibley with the help of friend, dr, therapist, guide. this is how you use drugs and do mental work. this is what heals you. in order to get past your trauma you need to confront it.

drinking alcohol, doing amphs, or real up or down drugs allows you more often then not to hide, numb, escape. we dont dont want to do that.

in this ase cannabis is also neuroprotective so its a drug that helps your brain on a chemical level. makes your brain better. most of these other drugs do just the opposit, they increase oxidation and and essentially stress. usually this is not compensated by antiox therapy. in othe posts i have a tendency to talk about the importance of antioxidents, particularly for ppl with head issues. all of this goes together.

other psychedlics also are show to have possative effects on brain health to the extent of being useful for dementia and alzhiemers. the other more socially acceptable drugs have the oppossite effects.

using these things can be life changing. thats the idea. but it isnt just taking drugs.
the methods you are using seem to be inefective and basiclaly are just taking drugs.
seems a little ironic.

probably its much more comfortable to live with delusion and probably its easier to just take drugs and hope they magically make things ok. i think its better to be uncomfortable for a little bit and figure things out. that way its over and drugs are no longer necessary, usually you become a better person in the process too.

you make the choice who you are.

this is a normal problem for ppl who try to use weed.
you dont smoke one hit.
you smoke a dose. you dont stop till its dont.
dose is more then a gram.
you need to do this regularly.
everybody seems to only understand weed as something you use for a recreation change of conciouness to stupidity. its a side effect. it goes away. it happens because your thought process is fucked up.
you need to think of weed as a sup. weed is how you consume cannabinoids. if you have decent weed think that only 25% of your total wieght is total canabinoid content. do you really think that 3%( that one hit of a 1g sig) of 250mg of something is gona have any sort of usefel effect?
your getting lost in minor head change that goes away when you make it go away. you dont consume cannabis so you are very sensitive to this side effect. thats all it is coupled with more resposibility and emotional baggage.
for any of this to have any hope of use be thinking you need min more then 1 g total cannabinoids taken ed. min 3 g consumed plant material.

and thats why you don't comment in threads like these. complete strangers acting like they know everything about the other person. thats why you don''t go on boards to begin with. I'll be on pm but not with this guy. peace out brother

 

[qbkilla]

The more I read your thread the more I realized you have no clue what you talking about and giving people really bad info
You have way more problems than anxiety bud. Not remember what you did wtf I remember exactly what I did the day before and the week before and so on what are you even talking about
Your way off.

I'm off? No shit Sherlock. "Bad info" on what?

 

[BigNJ]

i have experience around 20 drugs. there is only one solution i found. i take baclofen 3 times a day. start with 10mg x 3 a day, increase if needed.
Choose only one SSRI that make you feel good take it in the mornings.Trust me. try this

You have to be careful with baclofen, it weakens the muscles.
