Can Weed Brownie Cause Severe Nervous Convulsions?

Hello. I am a 31 year old female who has never done any illecit drugs, do not smoke but consumes alcohol socially. I attendeda party on sunday where I consumed a weed brownie. Within an hour after, my head felt woozy and I felt an out of body experience. I noticed my lips were sticking to my teeth prior but didnt think anything of it. My limbs went weak, my eyelids were heavy and my mouth felt like cotton. I managed to get into the house and consume large quantities of water which eased the feeling of passing out. As I took the bottled water out of my mouth , my mouth instantly felt dry, taste funny and was sticking together and I was losing consciousness immediately. I made it to the hospital but managed to not pass out because I drNk water for about an hour straight. I experienced convulsions and while in the emergency room I felt heat overcoming my body then it will pass. I got np iv fluids but blood work came back positive for mafijuana alone. Its 2 days later and i still am having slight involuntary movements and a bit out of it. Was that a normal reaction? Is it weed alone that can do that ?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

It happen with first time user of weed. People get such kind of anxiety symptom when they consume weed for first time. There is nothing to worry about it. Elimination half time of weed is 2-20hours. Sometime these kind of symptoms stay of 4 to 5 days. What ever u says, would be pseudoseizure. that is part of anxiety response. For time been u can take a low dose benzodiazepine. u would feel better. Rest u can consult a psychiatrist.

thanks
