Recovering heroin addict here, currently seven months since last use. Pre opioid abuse/addiction I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. I have taken several SSRIs and fewer benzodiazepines over the years leading up to the opioid addiction and even after rehab in the first few days of early recovery. Currently I am not Rx d either an SSRI nor a benzo of any kind. I still experience episodes of stress/panic attacks even today with over six months sober but they are beginning to come on less frequently and with lesser severity. My question is regarding the use of THC in moderation to treat my existing anxiety. Most times this is frowned upon in a recovery group/program due to THC being a mood/mind altering substance. Some fear it may lead me back to what I used to desire the most, my drug-of-choice, heroin. I d appreciate your thoughts and concerns regarding my pending decision to use THC (oil, edibles, vapor) for short term treatment of my anxiety disorder. Thank you. Jonathan R.
