Marijuana for Depression, anxiety, adhd and insomnia? ( Outdoor in Ireland)
I started a medical strain thread not too long ago, you can look that up. But a great one for both anxiety and to help with insomnia is grand daddy purple. Another good one is Chernobyl. I personally tend to steer clear of the indicas for depression, only because they do have more 'relaxing' effects which can actually worsen your depression, so a good rule of thumb here is try it, don't marry it.
A good example I have is a friend suffers from PTSD, and he also has Bi Polar. Because of his PTSD he has issues sleeping, and because of his bi polar disorder, he can often get in a very 'dark' almost suicidal mood. He needed something to help him sleep, and the GDP (grand daddy purple) worked very well, but in the time before he went to sleep, he wasn't happy, just very passive. So the GDP didn't work for his mood - I had him try my standard (Pineapple Express) and it helped his mood, but not his insomnia, he currently uses Cinderella 99 which is a good mix of both, it does NOT make him pass out, but he does make him tired enough to goto sleep.
So to sum it up, people react differently to different strains, your brain is a very complex organ, and the THC/CBD ratio can effect your serotonin levels, long story short - You might have to try several strains before you find the one that's perfect for you. Pineapple express is my standby, but of course I still use different strains just for different effects
Good luck, and I hope this helps you on your journey!
OH - Please keep in mind. When your on anti-depressants it is NOT a good idea to fuck with your serotonin levels, if you ever become 'elated' get some coffee, and drink yourself sober. There are reasons why some anti depressants have horrible side effects, like limp dick and exasperated feelings of loneliness, its because your brain always wants that feeling of 'elation' once it reaches it, like a heroin junkie.... Be careful when your mixing your meds. If I were you, I would find someone in IRL that can supply you with medical samples and you can trust with all of your symptoms. There's gotta be someone there.
Good luck bro!
