Subject:		Does this sound the same as your experience?

Message:		When I was around 16 years old I smoked pot for about the sixth time (even though I really didn't enjoy it) and got extreamly high. The next day I woke up and felt like I was still high and panic set in. Through the next month I didn't leave my house and felt pressure in my head. My eyes felt dry and out of focus and I had ringing in my ears so sound was different. I remember feeling like pressure was all around my eyes and looking in the mirror was weird and my eyes felt like I had a new pair of glasses on or tunnel vision. Before this I had depression some what but felt very open to reality and had a urge to get drunk, smoke pot and try to get mind altered. Now I don't feel open to reality so I don't have a urge to get messed up because I want to hold on to reality the best I can. I am now thirty with a family and still never feel completely normal. I still have eye and ear issues but have learned to live with them. My anxiety was bad so I started paxil about 6 years ago and it helped but still never feel that open feeling I once had. Kevin
