Anxiety/Panic?...not again. Say it ain't so!

Nicotine should be imparting Euphoria. But over-doing it goes just opposite, panic and anxiety being one symptom of over-indulging. Like a huge sugar high. Have you checked your blood pressure lately. May be eye-opening.

Your symptoms sound EXACTLY like mine. I have discussed this problem in this thread: Feeling Strange and Major Panic Attacks

I was particularly struck by the statement about how you would at one point just take a couple of drags then BAM, major panic attack (panic state probably lasting several hours?), like something was building up in your system for a couple of days and then it went over a threshold limit...

Finances are low at the moment to prevent much further experimentation right away, and I lost an e-cig so I should get another battery and atomizer since my spare battery doesn't work properly - plus I'll need to order more juice from JC. But the only thing that is probably going to work for me is the Johnson Creek Tennessee Flue Cured 24 mg VG formulation. I hardly dare experiment with my e-cig using my current mix which may contain up to 40 or 50 percent PG unless I am on my clonopin and even then I'm still wary. Personally, I'm still very strongly inclined to believe the symptoms are a peculiar response to the PG used in the formulation. Experiments suggest the VG doesn't give me this problem, and I've also found that very restricted use of the e-cig can still cause me to begin to experience these feelings even though I'm getting so much less nicotine than from smoking that by the time I find I'm in a borderline panic state and need to go back to the analogs I get a nicotine high because my level is so low. This is not to rule out the likelyhood that too much nicotine from e-smoking may also produce panic symptoms, only to say that I'm personally convinced that, in my case, it is the PG that must be the source of my unfortunate problem with these desirable devices.

Consider trying JC's VG formulation in a clean cartridge and see how that does for ya. And good luck. Thanks for reporting this as there must be others who will experience this unfortunate reaction.

Pass, I'm even MORE paranoid now with what I'm putting in my body...I hate being like this...

Anxiety sucks, I deal with it daily. I dont take any meds for it and everyone is different. I just try to center my mind. Can't say it always works but sometimes it does. Deep breaths and concentrate on nothing is how I center my mind. Hang in there and try not to stress about anything, if vapeing makes it worse, its simple, dont do it. IMHO panic causes stress and stress is a bigger killer than anything.

at first i had no trouble with panic attacks - but then i tried adding vg and flavoring and bam it hit me like a freight train - i did not recognize which one it was until i tried another bottle of juice that i had not added anything and i can vape that with no trouble at all

so i am trying to see which one it is that is causing the fuzzyheadedness / panic attacks - the vg or the flavoring -

after vaping a while with no trouble - i added a drop of vg to the cart and vaped that - no prob - so after a bit i added another drop of vg to the cart and still no prob for several minutes

but now after about 15 minutes waiting around i feel a little bit of the effect
so now i am starting to think that vg is a problem for me

i will have to keep experimenting and try adding a little flavor next time and see

since i added 2 whole drops of vg that time and it was several minutes before i started thinking that it might be the vg - i thought i should try the flavoring

i tried something different this time with just pg and flavoring and the ejuice that i vape with no trouble -

this time i felt a little trouble right away
now i am really thinking it is the flavoring

I'll be a good candidate for testing the effects of anxiety with vaping and anxiety , being that if the wind blows the wrong way ..I'll get anxiety

been diagnosed with agoraphobia years ago ..which is a lot worse then GAD
dont take any antidepressants because I dont trust 'em and side effects

been known to munch on some xanax to help with it , which isnt great , but better then treating it the old fashioned way ...with alcohol

in a day or two will be getting my first kit (510) and 100 ml of 24mg juice and I plan to vape like chong smokes if thats what takes to get off these damn analogs
I dont care if I have to pop xanax like tic-tacs ..ive got to get off analogs

I once about 12 years ago had a nicotine overdose on the patch , working in the sun started sweating made the patch saturate till it littraly made it fall off ..and it was a horrible experiance .got so de-realized felt like I was in a state of severe psycosis

after some time with my kit . I will post back to let others know my results

i just mixed 50 percent regular marlboro flavor 36 mg and 25 percent pg and 25 percent vg

i vaped this over the last hour and no problem - so now i am quite sure that the problem i am having is the flavoring that i added before

now i am adverse to putting any flavoring in
