I am currently under a neurologists care. I too smoked pot one evening and have not been the same since. I never told anyone I smoked pot. When it happened I figured I figured I was having an anxiety attack while being high. But I have not been the same for 6 weeks. I went to the doctor and told them I was feeling “detached” along with my physical symptoms I have been having. They gave me a MRI, Spinal Tap and EEG. They checked me for multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease ,etc. My spinal tab and EEG came back fine. But the MRI came back showing some white matter. I have been going crazy every since. Since I learned of white matter on the brain I have discovered that can be from from many other diseases. I am having a lot of flu like symptoms, migraine headaches and terrible memory loss, confusion and speech hesitation. Some of the brain disorders have these symptoms too. I have been hoping that I have a “medical illness” but after reading J’s story I think it could be the depersonalization disorder. I am at a point now where my neurologists says he can not find anything wrong with me and my regular doctor thinks I have dissociative disorder and had put me on Zyprexa. I am angry that she thinks that!! I don’t want to have a mental disorder. I seeking a second opinion. Maybe I am wasting my time. My parents have been extremely supportive of my current situation. If this is from pot, they would be devastated and I will feel like I have ruined my life.
