if you're bipolar and you're already on an anti-dep then i would worry that the "pep" weeds (ie the ones that give you energy) might set off a manic phase for you. just be careful with the strain you get--make sure they're the ones that chill you out.

this is true, but mostly for bi-polar type 1. bi-polar type 2 has pretty different manic episodes. those manic episodes are more like extreme mood swings in seconds that are either trigged by something or worse because there's no trigger. so actually sometimes the strains that chill you out can be worse. because they can actually be a factor to one of those mood swings where you feel like you've just fallen through a trap door and into a black sinking depression. just some info
bipolar I has ups and downs. bipolar II has no ups. it's just downs alternating with normal mood (euthymic). i agree--i was more thinking of type I.
chantoke Reviewed by chantoke on . Smoking weed and depression meds Hey, I take an anti-depressant drug prescribed by my doctor (have been for several years now) and just want to know if smoking weed is dangerous or going to fuck me up (in a bad way)??? Anyone else out there on anti-depressants??? I'm still fairly new to smoking weed. But it's not something I'm going to ask my doctor about. Rating: 5
