you admitted to your doctor you smoke dope? haha

thats right, but recently id rarther get drunk than smoke marijuana simply because alcohol made me happy and sociable yet marijuana made me depressed, anti social and i found it hard to talk and walk while on marijuana and thats only to name a few.
and no i didnt admit to the doctor i smoke marijuana, he asked me to do a blood test AND a urine test, i only did the blood test, but i was stoned when i did it anyway so i guess he found out in the end...

stoned.as.fuck. you've made the right choice and maybe smoking weed isnt for you, im sorry, but you did the right thing. your sanity is worth more than getting high. way to be smart dude....im right there with you...i had all those feelings starting up, but they went away went i stopped smoking weed. good luck man!

---

i totally agree, weed used to do it for me, it made me happy and mellow, but that was in the early days when i first started, i should of releised my symptoms were getting worse but i just kept on smokin becuase i thought the way i was feeling was normal.
i might just have a few cones one a week or something because i do agree its a great antidepressant...but i beleive the downsides just arent worth it for me

Oh, another thing. Marijuana is one of the best antidepressants out there. My advice is to stop smoking heavily and just smoke once a day. Maybe even start cooking it so you can stay mildly buzzed for awhile, but not fucked, know what I mean?

Either way, those man-made pills are NOT the best way to go. I don't trust them, I've seen people who think their life will stop if they don't take those and they become complete addicts.

mabey so, and thats what my doctor said, i might have to take them for the long term, and i should see a therapist but i denied it. i have to go see him everyweek for a cheak up but if my meds are not working properly then i'll know i'll need to see someone else.

a normal Doctor... 'Cos doctors will throw anything at

ya just 'cos there little refferal book tells them it's ok to. . . .

Hope all works out ok for ya. . . .

my doctor said the KARMA tablets work pretty much over night, and i swear i have been feeling calmer. but the anti-depressants will take a few weeks to kick in i know that.
yea i saw a normal doctor but hes a very good doctor beleive me hes been my doctor all my life and im sure he knows whats best, plus that booklet i showed him about anxiety disorders and depression made it alot easyer for him to prescribe me i think as i underlined the parts i was effected with.




thanks everyone for ya support, im so glad i joined this forum your a great bunch of people. :thumbsup:

respect

How do you know that marijuana caused your condition to worsen? Could it have been time as it went on, unchecked, allowed your depression to really grab hold of you? What about your heavy drinking, could it have been that? Way to instantly demonize marijuana. However, at the same time, I am not also saying that smoking weed didn't make it worse either. Just something to think about.

i dont care what your doctor says, i dont think the herb had anything to do with it, if anything it made it better, things like alcohol or any other drugs you might have done are better suspects...

also, just because it increased during your smoking years doesnt mean it was herb, most people with mental disorders who dont do anything about them only feel them mildy growing up and dont have serious problems untill they are in theyre adult years

Well, I would assume that, like with all drugs, pot would effect different people differently.

But I do agree with Jake about finding alternatives to dealing with your disorder. My best friend was depressed seven years ago and she started taking anti-depressants and she has really changed....as a person. She also has to up the dose about three times a year (depending on the stress level) and she is totally dependant on it.

Maybe it is the right thing for you to take medication but I would seriously consider seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist.

yeah i dont like that shit either

When I think "Dope" I also think "Smack". Something softer would be better IMO. But hey, terms are different depending on where you are.

nothing wrong with smoking lots of weed.
i know you are just jealous of me because i can smoke as much as i want everyday

Those pills you're on are going to be a million times worse for you in the long run. Stop drinking so much alcohol, smoke the blessed herb in moderation, and don't be a dipshit. Both sides of my family have a history of depression, my brother mother and two sisters have been on and off different medications, none of them work. Don't blame it on the weed that's the pussy way out!

Though, as you said you had to show him a pamphlet, I would think he wasn't a psychiatrist. If anything, PLEASE see a psychologist as drugs alone will NOT fix the problem! And better yet, see both a psychologist AND a psychiatrist before you start your Zoloft regimine. Those are some VERY serious drugs and will fuck you six ways to Sunday if you're not careful.

---

I'll have the agree with the comment regarding general practitioner. When I was younger I had extreme social anxiety to the point at which I wouldn't even talk around people I wasn't comfortable around. My mother mentioned this to my doctor and without any hesitation his recommendation was Paxil. I was about 13 at the time.
My brother had the same doctor as i and ran into a similar situation. His situation however had to do with talking to much in class. His teachers suggested to my mother that he had ADD. Being a worried parent, my mother brought him to the doctor and his suggestion was Adderall.
I no longer take the medication nor does my brother take his. Because of the medication i still ave trouble remmebering many things during that period i my life.
