Smoking weed and depression meds

[blazed_babe]

yeah, and actually i didn't even know that there was a type II until pretty recently - just in the last few months. i always thought that the only type of bi polar was the type I, ya know, i just knew about those symptoms, didn't realize that there was a type II at all, not in the least, which is why i was surprised when my psychiatrist brought it up.

sorry if that doesn't make sense, i'm extremely blazed right now and even re-reading what i wrote doesn't help me to realize whether or not its comprehensible. damn.

ive been on many psychiatric meds...sereqouel,lexapro, clonzepam, abilify, welbutrin, celexa, lamictal, loranzepam, geodon, and im probably forgetting some and the only one that i could tell interacted different when i smoked pot.. it would intensfy to a point of sickness, dizzyness, first time i smoked on that medicine i puked everywhere and couldnt walk more than five steps without laying down on the grass, i was laying in random peoples yards and they were asking me if i was okay; it took me an hour to seriously walk a block from the waterfall on the golf course to the street corner so my stepdad could pick me up; then i passed out in the back of the car for a long time... it was probably one of the worst drug induced sickness ive ever had.

wait i'm not understanding--which medication was the one that made you sick when you smoked weed while taking it?

Don't forget rapid cyclers. Caffiene is a big no no. Also I wouldn't take an anti-depressant without some type of sedative/mood stablizer

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN TAKING ANTI-DEPRESSANTS AND SMOKING WEED!! Search online for marijuana and _______ (your antidepressant) before doing it again. I was on amitriptyline for headaches (about 1/4 of normal antidepressant dosage) and it apparently speeds up ur heart-rate, and so does weed. I smoked really good weed the first time I had smoked while taking the pills, and thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest. I asked my friend a bunch of times if the weed was laced, I felt so weird. I later read online that someone had died from the combo, due to heart problems. Lesson - always research first.

I'm on Celexa, and found THIS.


Well, that's just dandy.

I never took meds for depression - I didn't like the concept of it - so I can't really help you out here. Smoking weed has helped a lot though. The euphoria is a temporary thing, but being able to step back from life and take an objective look at what I was doing and how I acted was the most valuable part of it. Off-topic.

Try it once, take it slow, and if you don't have a problem then keep going if you want. It won't mess you up permanently, if that's what you're wondering.
