Your situation sounds alot like mine. I too used drugs pretty heavily in college. I'm now 28. At first I started smoking pot and it was cool for a year or maybe less but when I introduced the other drugs it all went downhill. I only did X about 5 or 6 times in 2 years, but I probably used acid hundreds of times. Smoking pot turned into a nightmare for me. I got super paranoid and felt physically ill like you said. I could hardly even speak the English language when I smoked. The experiences I had on X after the first time were also terrible. I don't know if I got bad X or what but my first time on it was great and all the other times were hell. I felt as if I was dying on some of the tabs that I took. I've thought for awhile that maybe the drugs have caused my mental problems, but several pdocs have explained to me that the drugs were the spark that lit the fire and that no matter what the bipolar II that I am diagnosed with would have come out sooner or later despite the illegal drug use. I kinda hope that they're right. Hope you get on the right path. Discuss with your doctor in depth how you feel and be on the watch for any bipolar symptoms before they throw an SSRI at you .
