Its definitely true that some drugs should not be used by certain people either just because of their neuronal deficits or because of any pre-existing mental condition on that person. Drugs interact different on people, its wise to know your body and mind and especially to know what you're doing. You did good in realizing you had a problem, I wish you well .
peace

ok the past few days have been a new chapter in my life i finally got the courage to see a doctor, my anxiety, panic attacts, and depression were just gettin to bad for me to handle, because i smoked so much dope so heavy for almost 2 years i finally releised i have a mental illness.
im not soley blaming dope, i have had this before i even started smoking, but now its 10 times WORSE because of dope. and ive been drinking alot of alchol latley just to feel happy and sociable. im only 18 remember.

i was laying in my bed the night before i went to the doctor and my head was goin crazy, all i could think about were negitive thoughts, thoughts of hate and regret, yet i had nothing to worry about, nothing bad has happened, i had nothing at all to worry about yet i seriously felt like gettin a knife and killing someone or myself and everything wrong happening in the world just got to me.

i was feeling like this for a long time...but it was at that moment when i thought, nah fuck this shit i cant take it anymore, i need help and im going to see a doctor tomorrow. before i end up doing something stupit, lucky i had a few booklets around explaining the symotoms of anxitety disorder and depression. i had them all. that gave the the courage to finally see a doctor and also easier to explain to the doctor....


....my mental state got so bad i just had to drop out out my last year of school, i was failing every class and i would be stoned everyday, all day, with my freinds at school. i was having panic attacks in class and i could barly walk around the school campus with out being paranoid and my mind going crazy. it was impossible to get away from the dope because all my freinds wanted me to smoke with them, and i couldnt say no because i always felt the need to smoke it so i could feel "normal" again. so a few weeks ago i dropped out. i just couldnt take it, i didnt even have the courage to get my leavers form fully signed i just grabbed my shit said cya to my mates and walk away. i felt i had no choice.

all because of my fuckin mental state.

but its all good now i think, i pretty much gave my doctor the booklet and explained i dropped out of school and everything plus how i felt and he instantly prescribed me with KARMA 0.25mg to settle me down
plus i had to see him today which he prescribed me with ZOLOFT 50mg for panic disorder and depression, plus a blood test.
and to my suprise he said he would do it for free. i just had to pay the tablets ($13)

best Decision of my life ive been takin KARMA for a few days now and i alreaddy feel better. i can walk downtown now with out worries and my mind is clear. id rather it than dope.
i'll be gettin the zoloft tablets tomorrow and hopefully they will make me feel better again. my life is back on track for $13...now i dont need to abuse dope and Alcohol anymore, but i still love the bud dont get me wrong.


so if there is anyone like me out there please see a doctor before you fuck up your life completly.

thanks for reading.

I didnt get help but i still fixed it, im in college now so things are good...just try to be positive

sorry to have to do this guys, but im with stoned.as.fuck in that bud fucking rules, but it can seirously fuck up your life if you have pre-existing medical conditions. lets not be ignorant and start be smart. yeah its a wonderful herb, yeah it grows in the ground, but tell me you didnt think that you could upset the natural balance of chemicals in your brain for years with out ANY sideeffects? weed is better than alcohol, but that doesnt mean weed is the all holy miracle drug with no possible side effects, lets not be stupid. youre changing the natural chemical BALANCES and interactions in your brain....pre-existing serious mental conditions can come up and even be magnified by this drug. i love the nug but, guys be smart.

stoned.as.fuck. you've made the right choice and maybe smoking weed isnt for you, im sorry, but you did the right thing. your sanity is worth more than getting high. way to be smart dude....im right there with you...i had all those feelings starting up, but they went away went i stopped smoking weed. good luck man!

ive heard that crack or heroin is a good drug to get into if ur felling abit low.

I dont even find that remotely funny... That's some of the worst advice i've ever heard, even if it was a joke.

Hey...this is friendly advice from a kid who knows his way around a person's mind pretty well...

How about you go see a therapist instead? I mean, you could be taking those antidepressants all your life. You could instead see a therapist, maybe see if it's something besides a chemical imbalance.

Oh, another thing. Marijuana is one of the best antidepressants out there. My advice is to stop smoking heavily and just smoke once a day. Maybe even start cooking it so you can stay mildly buzzed for awhile, but not fucked, know what I mean?

Either way, those man-made pills are NOT the best way to go. I don't trust them, I've seen people who think their life will stop if they don't take those and they become complete addicts.

A good friend of mine was like that and one day I was at her house and I asked her to show me her meds and I grabbed them and put them down the drain. Then I grabbed her by the shoulders and pinned her up against the wall and told her "Look, (name), you are a beautiful and great girl. You don't need those fucking pills. If you feel bad, you talk to me, you don't poison your mind with those godforsaken things. Or you find something else to do. Drugs of any kind are never the answer for depression, so STOP TAKING THEM!" then let her go and she gave me a huge hug and thanked me. She's been fine ever since.

Just my opinion, though.
Do what thou wilt.

Good for you on being proactive with your life!

I just hope the doctor was a psychiatrist and not a General Practitioner as they have NO clinical training in diagnosing or treating mental disorders. Though, as you said you had to show him a pamphlet, I would think he wasn't a psychiatrist. If anything, PLEASE see a psychologist as drugs alone will NOT fix the problem! And better yet, see both a psychologist AND a psychiatrist before you start your Zoloft regimine. Those are some VERY serious drugs and will fuck you six ways to Sunday if you're not careful.

Dude, if you made your friend stop taking those drugs cold turkey, you could have seriously fucked her over. Though I share your distaste for medical mind candy, going off meds cold turkey can lead to serious side effects and even death.
