For the past few years im after pumping inhalers into me , going through a lot of them

I'm going though so many of them and then smoking the vape on and off for the past few years and when I don't take them then I don't feel great . I starts to get panic attacks then and I think all my usage is down to post traumatic stress on situations that happened through my live .
My friend use to say it to me , he used to say that I was getting a high from the inhalers I'm on and I think he's right , that was 10 years ago he said that to me and it's now I'm only realising he's right.
And go off them what I think it's all a psychological thing when you don't have them and that's what creates the panic attacks

Well, if it's albuterol, it's neither habit forming nor does it create any known high. Side effects like rapid heartbeat and expanded ling capacity account for any abnormal sensations.

Also, you should get formally diagnosed if you're going to use the terminology. Maybe you have been, but these are life-altering symptom sets you mention.

If you think you're psychologically dependant on inhalers, talk to a counselor. Anxiety seems to be an issue for you and no one has to live with it. Good luck.

Things you should know:

Additionally, using too much albuterol at one time can potentially lead to an overdose. Overdose symptoms can include:
