I have been on Effexor for 7 months or so now and specifically 225mg for 2 or 3 months(I don’t remember exactly). I used to smoke weed and enjoy edibles before starting any medications and thought that some delta 8 gummies would be chill. I got some from a local shop and took one gummy(50mg) which is what the package recommended . I now know this was way too much and it was like all of my senses melted into one and I got terrible vertigo and felt like I was on shrooms. I lost my sense of taste and shapes had colors and feelings the whole biz. The entire next day I felt super hungover. Over all bad experience.

This weekend dummy me decided to take another 50 mg gummy. Honestly I think I just didn’t care. Well, this experience was so much worst than the last. I was throwing up with diarrhea and the worst vertigo I have ever experienced. The only position I could lay on was my left side, on the floor, left arm outstretched and right arm keeping me steady. I kept almost passing out or actually going in and out, I’m not really sure. My body temperature was going wild and I got terrible cold sweats and shivers. I started either having really bad whole body brain zaps or mini seizures, I’m not really sure since I had never experienced either before. I was laying on the ground and would be hit with one and my whole body would jolt/shake. I had almost no muscle control and everything felt so heavy it was difficult to move. I think if my husband saw this part he would have taken me to the emergency room. The next day I felt hungover and it’s now 3 days past and I still feel kind of sick- nausea, shivers, overall run down.

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist in 2 weeks, but should I reach out to him or even my PCP about what happened? Or just wait?
