Antidepressants are more likely to make your situation worse than better. Sure, there are the rare few people who seem to live happy lives for years on antidepressants. But it isn't worth taking the risk. That's 3 weeks to get on the drug, 3 weeks to get off, and if you're NOT the person who benefits, you're way more likely to commit suicide.

Honestly dude, if you're using weed to help you escape from your mental troubles, you've got a problem. You can't tell WHY you are depressed or anxious because your thought process is a little fogged up from so much pot. Lay of the pot for a week or two. Get some exercise. Hang out with some old friends, or make some new ones. Do something you love. If the insomnia really bothers you, pick up some melatonin strips. They aren't
addictive, they just give you the same sleepiness as weed but without the high.

If you're having trouble digging into your own thoughts, perhaps even trying something spiritual perhaps? Maybe trying another plant and/or fungi? (I am specifically referring to the cultivation of sage and portabello, deliciously made into a meal)


But for god's sake man, don't use weed to escape. That's like using a cement mixer as a getaway car.
NOthing helps my anxiety besides benzos and weed....
