this happened to me. i had been on topamax 250 mg for the past 3 months. i smoked weed and at first i thought iw as in hell. thought my bf was the devil. i was spinning out of control, everything kept repeating like a flip book. then all of a sudden i thought i was in heaven with god (he had appeared in my bfs form) he was saying all kinds of things from the bible. this lasted 3 days. everyday since then (its been about 5 months) i keep having panic attacks about it because i htough i had died that night and have to keep convincing myself that this "life" is real. that shit fucks you up, don't take weed and topamax. i'm lucky i didn't die.

Will the feeling ever go away? Mine just recently happened. I have been taking 300 mg. For awhile, i smoked weed and i was on vacation at my sisters. I only remember taking a step off the bed and saying that i felt numb. My body froze i was stiff as a board. My eyes were froze open, my heart was racing, i didn't see anything but the room caving In and everything was a box. I felt like i was In the matrix, and i kept seeing crazy things like my whole life from my child hood playing and everyone smoking the weed, it's like my mind was a theatre, it said going I'n shut off mode. I thought i died. I saw a cross and i heard whispers the whole time saying God please give me a second chance. I thought God was telling me to clean up my life. My arms felt like jello and my whole body felt everywhere. I can't even explain everything because my mind was out of control. I saw people and it's like i thought we were our own Gods. That our Dads were put on this world to be our God, I'm scared to tell my family the truth of everything I remember because I feel crazy. i feel like it will never go away I feel like if I don't keep talking to someone or if I don't keep moving my body will "go I'n shut off mode." my mind feels lost. I too have to remind myself that the life I am living is real, and the people around me are real. i feel like I am still replaying what happened that day and that no matter what I am doing I am still re booting and shutting off and my mind is just separated from everything. That day I came back to concioua and everyone around me was frozen and the BREATH got knocked back into me i was trying to scream and yell but i couldn't talk but i could see everyone and finally it's like someone hit play. Then rewind. And the breath started to slowly come back. My sister said she pushed me back on the bed and I was stiff as a board. And all of a sudden I gasped for air. i couldn't remember anything. they told me i wrote on a piece of paper God gave me a second chance and I died that night. And i talked to God. I left I'n an ambulance. I know i made the mistake of smoking the weed, buy it's never happened before but i have thought hard and it almost has but that night was the night it did really bad. I can't function normally. It's all i think about, it's all I FEEL. i gave my topamax to my mom and said I don't want it no more. I'm so scared and I don't think anyone would understand unless they have been through it, so I'm asking you all that have. Please help me.. I'm scared to sleep at night.. I'm scared to do anything.. I was around weed after that and just the smell of it made my heart race and "freak out" and feel like I was "shutting down." i just want this to go away. I don't feel normal anymore, everywhere I look everything I see. Nothing feels real to me anymore.. How did you get over it?
