depression

[elane hunt]

Has anybody had experience with cannabis and depression?anyone?

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

cannabis negates depression, untill you come down from the high, at which point is random, you could get worse, or jsut be depressed again.

if you're lucky you can retain soberity for some time before the depression kicks in again.


marijuana is the best, safest, and most effecient anti-depressant, even though it, itself, is classifyed as a depressant.

I just wondered. Tried lots of AD's.Had my best luck with Tramadol, a mild opiod painkiller. That led me to thinking about the possibility of weed working

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

dont take perscription drugs, do not use pharmacuticals if you can help it.


the pharmacy is an establishment which capitolizes on sickness and disease.

their drugs only agitate the condition, while masking the symptoms, so as to ensure costomers, for if they simply cured these illnesses, they would have no costomers left!

I dont totally agree with Wolf about tablets 'covering up' the symptoms, but I recently quit my medication for mood swings and depression. I had been taking Sodium Valproate - 1600mg per day for mood swings - for about 2 years, and Lofepramine - not sure how much, 2 tablets a day for depression - for about 15 months, and just stopped taking them about a month ago. I didnt consult my shrink or GP about this, but I feel better than ever since Ive stopped. Since Ive quit, Ive had 1 minor mood swing and 1 VERY minor bout of depression, which just lasted a few hours.

Noticed that myself with tramadol, did take lexapro, but the side effects was worse than the damn depression. But for swim, skunkx works better.

Depends on body chemistry, and what sort of depression(and the severity) you have. I've taken meds for depression and got stoned and just became Happy High.

I've heard that mj was considered a depressant but I've never had that experience.

I just read an article where they did a study on rats using a super potent version of the cannanibinoid found in marijuana. These rats were given injections twice daily. They found that after receiving these injections for a period of time the rats became less depressed and anxious. They found that this drug promoted new neuron growth in the area of the brain that controls mood. Wonder what the govt will do if this turns out to work as well in humans?

What were your experiences with Lexapro if you don't mind me asking. I am wondering because I am taking it and considering increasing the dose because I am not sure if it's working or not.

Just wondering, Thanks

i also have clinical depression for about 3 or 4 years now. ive also tried lots of meds. including lexapro, seroquel, zoloft and prozac. now im taking remeron and tramadol. the remeron doesnt seem to do anything. but the tramadol really works. i have also been smoking weed even before i had the depression and i can say that it really helps. when i got the depression i noticed that my intake of cannabis has increased dramatically. and i was hooked. i couldnt do anything without smoking first since i didnt have any other medications at that time. now that i already have meds, my cannabis intake has lowered as well as my intake of other drugs such as dxm(cough syrup), and nubain(injectible opoid).

[biboybaka]

i still do dxm though it really helps with severe depression. when ive taken everything including cannabis and nothing works, i just open up a 120ml botlle of cherry.

when u say you "do" dmx you really mean, your sculling cough syrup?

Skunkx is breed of cannanbis. As for the effects of Lexapro, cold sweats, mood swings, and a feeling of impeding doom. Hadn't took none in four months and feel a helluva lot better.
p.s.: swim=someone who isn't me
