why do i twitch?

it's insane. everytime i smoke, i have these weird, spontaneous twitches that i can't prevent. i don't know if it's because i'm usually around people or if it's because something's wrong with my body. anyone else have this problem?

oh, & i get really dumb, too. anyone know any good ways to try not to be dumb? lmao

 

Don't smoke.

 

cigarettes? they are a stimulant after all; maybe you have a very slight case of tourette's syndrome and the stimulant brings it out. i know i always got twitchy when i did coke...

 

mebbe you're cursed.

 

no, when i smoke marijuanaa. not cigarettes.

 

He said coke.
I personally would recommend seeing an exorcist.

 

could still be tourette's. the weed could just make it harder to hold back the twitches. do you ever twitch when you're not high?

other than that, i have no idea.

 

That used to happen to me sometimes with really good sativas mainly. I hate to say this, but maybe you should put off smoking for a few years. Your brain is still developing.

 

Parkinson's Disease?

 

i don't twitch ever besides when i smoke.
sometimes i don't, but i usually do.
when i'm alone, i mostly don't, but when i'm smoking someone down to vice versa, i twitch.

i'm pretty sure i don't have any diseases.
but not 100 percent sure on it.

& this is ONLY with weed. not with cigarettes, coke or anything else.

 

...stop smoking? not trying to be rude or anything, but if it's making you twitch, you should stop.

 

nah, you didn't sound rude. it's so hard to not smoke, though. the people i hang out with smoke, my mom smokes, pretty much everyone i know smokes.

 

Are you anxious or nervous before or after you smoke? It could be from social anxiety, which you can work through. The herb could be amplifying it and making it manifest physically.

 

I twitch sometimes too... dunno what it's all about, I'm sure it's somewhat normal.

the really dumb thing, let's be serious

Like you can keep from being dumb after smoking pine cones.

 

sometimes i am. i get shy really easily even if i've known someone for a long amount of time.
panic attacks & anxiety run in my family. i don't want to take xanax before i smoke because, well, i'd think that'd make it worse in a way.

 

I don't think my twitching is from that when I smoke... but you never know I guess. When I smoke it's not when I'm anxious or possible anxious, but you like I said, you never know.

 

it's weird, weed doesn't relax me. i'm always hyper or wanting to do something. ALWAYS. but then again, it might be because i smoke way too much when i do smoke.

 

I have twitches, uncontrollable spasms, from time to time. Like once or twice a year, my arm will suddenly jerk. It's never really bothered me, maybe I suffer from a very mild for of epilepsy, but it's never ever presented a problem to me. I don't think it's related to smoking pot. I think probably every experiences this from time to time.

 

Well since ganja tends to increase your level of conscious awareness, you are most likely just simply aware of feeling anxiety, which in turn increases the anxiety. Im assuming you are smoking in social situations with friends.

Its like when someone gets nervous, part of their nervous system called the autonomous nervous system kicks in and starts pumping adrenaline into your bloodstream. Its a survival tool, so that the person has strength to run or fight in the face of danger. But it can also be activated when you arent in actual danger, and that is the basis of anxiety. If your heartrate starts to increase, and you notice it, you become acutely aware of the racing heart so you start to panic. Then that makes your heart race more..

It might help to just be aware of when youre feeling anxious to not let it snowball. Tell yourself its irrational and you have no need to be nervous. Welcome the negative feelings in fact, dont let it alarm you when you feel panic or anxiety, because that will only make it worse.

If you do that and try not to completely avoid all things that make you anxious, eventually you will notice your thoughts and reactions changing. Good luck.

Oh, and stay away from xanax. Everything you need to deal with this is in your own mind.

 

deviate hit the nail on the head there, thats EXACTLY whats going on, your most likely to have high anxiety when you get really hyper on downers and vice versa. and you said you take xanax? for panic attacks?
