Bipolar and cannabis - daily toking?

[420izzle]

I have A.D.D. MJ helps me. Especially a good sativa.
Cali-misty (sp?)- the worlds finest sativa should work well for bi-polar. my brother is bi-polar and self-medicates with mj. The pills help him though too most times. but that's another issue. gl.

Not many, but enough to make me sick and tired of all the damn side effects. Lofepramine made me put on 2 stone in weight, which I STILL havent managed to lose. Sodium Valproate gave me 'The Shakes' which got in the way of my favourite hobby, shooting. Temazepam makes me vomit, diazepam/valium is addictive (but works), aripiprazole doesnt seem to affect me, and the dose of carbamazepine has to be Rating: 5

Funny- I thought my anxity was due to smoking pot. I love getting High But I tend to get nervas, and worry more when I get high. Depression and anxity run in my famliy. I have tried meds however I normally stop taking them when my script. Runs out. I know it can take weeks and even months for medication to kick-in. However I have always blamed my "paranoia" on my pot addiction. Anyone feel like Pot triggers this????

ive found marijuana helped me develop psychosis and made my moods swing more..

i take lithium and geodon...mood stab and anti psych...ive been problem free for 4 years and when i was smoking it didnt help or hurt it..just kinda neutral

i guess some can medicate with weed and dont need pills..
itd probably be a good idea not to over do it anyway...if you have porblems or not..
moderation

I'm bi polar too, and I agree its helped me a lot, except for when i get my major down moments, but it does help me sleep when my head is going a mile a second too..and its helped tons with my anxiety...but when I'm stoned I'm more anti-social. but it helps me with most things..

Dude when I am depressed weed can make me feel more guilty. Which fucking sucks.
