True, my wife has had anxiety attacks that I believe was because of Marijuana in the past, but she has some other mental illnesses and issues that aren't going to magically go away with medication and medication only.

Years ago I also had a paxil prescription, which I eventually weened myself off of when I began to smoke Marijuana and while medicated haven't had problems really with depression or anxiety. Then years back life was going all wrong for a while and I wasn't smoking mj at all, problems arose. Eventually ended myself up hospitalized and prescribed.. zyprexa. After I came home I began smoking again and started to use marijuana again, stopped taking the zyprexa, and things have been fine since then.

edit: yeah I know zyprexa is for some more serious illnesses, but the doctor I had at the time thought my symptoms were severe enough that it warranted giving it a try, and had success with others in the past with similar symptoms.
