While the idea of self-medication.

While the idea of self-medication has been posited by some to explain the high comorbidity of fright and nitty-gritty use disorders, many substances of discourtesy (cocaine/marijuana/other stimulants) may actually induce scare attacks or anxiety physiological condition during periods of acute intoxication[19, 20] or coitus interruptus. Cocaine, amphetamine and phencyclidine act on the noradrenergic body part, which may explain their power to induce symptoms of scare. Several reports have noted that cocaine can precipitate scare attacks in individuals without previous anxiousness physiological state.[20, 21] Anxiousness attacks have also been noted to occur after the use of intranasal phencyclidine and in the discourse of both sedative-hypnotic and beverage remotion. Moran described a ordination of six cases of patients presenting for intervention of terror physiological state and agoraphobia who associated the operation of symptoms with marijuana use.
