Summary
Breeze 58303, posting in r/covidlonghaulers in September 2022, reported pain and panic attacks, and a cough since a second infection in May. They microdosed 0.1–0.25 g daily, around five days a week, which they said helped a little with pain and their outlook, and used lorazepam only during full panic attacks, when it calmed them completely. They had mostly cut out smoking because of the cough, using edibles, RSO and tincture instead.

I only use it when I’m in a full on panic attack, every time it calms me down completely.

The only thing keeping me sane. ... Edibles, RSO, and tincture have been amazing.
