Have you taken medications for you mental health?

[Matt the Funk]

Seems like a shitload of people on this site have taken meds for mental health(myself included). Just wondering, have you taken meds? Do you take them? And did you start taking them before, or after you started smoking weed? Also add what medications you have taken and, for what conditions.

Yeah I take meds for my bipolar and I have for a few years now. I always take them on time every day. But all in all Ive been smoking weed since I was 11 but ive been taking meds since I was 13-14. Heres my list:

seroquel- 1,000 mg a day (200 mg a pill and I take 5 at bed time)

lithium- 900 mg a day (450 mg a pill and I take 2 at bedtime)

trazadone- 100 mg a day (100 mg a pill and I take one at bedtime)

I was diagnosed and started taking meds before I started smoking. Didn't really give the meds a chance, and just started smoking to relieve my depressive phases. I later learned it helped with a lot more things. Currently diagnosed with ADD,OCD,GAD,BiPolar(NOS)rapidcycler, and insomnia. I've taken Prozac,Effexor,Zoloft,Seroquel,Abilify,Geodon,Xana x,Risperdal, and was prescribed Straterra, and Lexapro, but have yet to take them, and probably never will. Oh, and now I am a qualified Medical Marijuana patient in the state of california, and I am state legal under prop 215 SB 420

1,000mg of seroquel is sooo much lol. I really don't udnerstand how you can take that. I took about 1,000 trying to OD once and I just slept for 12 hours....although I was taking 300mg a day so I guess I had some type of tolerance....but 1,000....everytime I hear you post that I can't imagine it.

Yeah well I started out at 200 mg but every time I went to see my psychiatrist he would add more and more, It doesnt make me tired anymore but it does keep me asleep. I usually sleep for a good 12-13 hours anyway or else I cant function. Luckily I never have to be awake for college or anything since I do all my classes online. I think I have a big tolerance now however.
