Teen struggling with DPDR

Hi all. This is my First post on this subreddit (Crossposted) and Im looking for some help please.

When I was 14, I smoked weed for the first time, and I had a good experience. I was forgetting things, laughing, interested in things, and had zero negatives. The next 2 days I felt foggy, but it went away. Fast forward to when im 15. I started smoking every 3 weeks or so with some friends, but the experience was different. Every time I got high I felt heavy, slow motion, delayed. Its almost as if I moved my head, felt it, and it would take 2 seconds before my vision actually caught up. At first I thought I had too much, but I would only have 4 or so tokes while my friends who smoked less than me would have 10+. I must have smoked around 20 times since I was 15 and I realised that even when I wasnt high, I felt high. Everything was slow motion, delayed, and im just always out of it, or confused. I believe this was due to me having a panic attack and greening out twice, so i stopped with weed. The only problem with this is I have Tourettes, which the best medication is THC, which ive had to stop taking. Its been around 4 months since I stopped and im now 16. My condition is still the exact same, but im also just so so anxious all of the time. I have panic attacks multiple times throughout the day, I am on Fluoxetine, an anti anxiety/depressant at the max dose, but I always feel sick, get shallow breaths, and feel faint. Does anyone have any tips that could help me?

Another thing to do with this, is ive heard Mushrooms can help with DPDR symptoms, my friends are actually trying them soon and invited me, will it actually help my DPDR? Or make it worse.

Thanks
