it doesn't treat my bipolar, if i'm not on my meds and smoke I go manic.
I was taking a whole bunch of different shit until i said fuck it. I stopped taking my medication. I was on seroquel for a couple years probably. I can't remember all the others I've tried right now but if you wanna know i can get the names. I had pretty bad withdrawals symptoms, a few times when i thought about stopping my meds they made me restart, but if you wait it out they do go away. I was getting what i describe to be electrical shocks like in my head and just felt like shit. The withdrawal symptoms would always feel electrical if i stopped taking my meds for a little bit, it was weird and very uncomfortable. my whole experience with prescription medication, therapists, and psychiatrists left me decided to turn my back on them.
But then again, I'm no role model, just stating my experiences with seroquel...and bipolar
I've eclipsed the point of care about my mental problems. Let the chips fall where they may.
I use marijuana to 'medicate' now.:stoned:
Well right now they got me on this shit called geodon or something, and they are gonna put me on lithium soon too. I just hate taking the meds. The longest of anymed I have taken is 300mg of seroquel everyday for a month. I was going through some pretty bad mania and hadn't smoked any of the magical ganja. BUt dude I can't talk right now the effects of the acid haven't worn off completelylol. I hate myself man.
Maybe ask your doc about THC pills?
And try to talk to your parents about how you feel cannabis helps regulate your mood, see if you can level with them about things. I'm sure they are concerned for your health and will work with you to figure something effective out.
dont be taking acid if your on any MAOIs(like lithium). it is prone to lead to a bad trip. ive had to babysit one friend on many occassions because he hadnt taken a long enough break off of lithium before dropping some tabs.Quote:
