If anyone can tell me how they felt on both I'd greatly appreciate it. I do understand that both the meds and the weed affect different people differently, I'm just looking for "don't do it, that's a stupid idea" or whatever else you have to offer.
I never had Lexapro, but I took Zoloft for about a year, and smoked for about six months while I was on it with no problems.

I don't understand why you only have a 7 week Rx. I was under the impression that SSRI's takes at least 4 weeks to start working, and longer for a positive therapeutic effect.

The marijuana can deplete serotonin, but this effect will probably be reduced significantly by the Lexapro.

Currently, I use a little 5-HTP, which is a precursor to seratonin and is available over the counter in drug stores and mail order, a little Xanax from a Rx once to three times a week, and no weed at all lately. I also take fish oil, Krill oil, and other supplements. I'd like to take extra Magnesium, which is also very good for the nervous system, but I have to find a type that does not upset my digestive system. In the meantime, I get some Magnesium in my multivitamin and foods.

Good luck.
