I have anxiety, depression, possibly more, and I cant function too good now, Ive tried everything else and I give up. Im probably going to have to take medication again, anti-depressants or similar things.

I ask this question because I have heard some reports where people have had really bad adverse reactions when combining the two. There was this one on erowid where this guy had convulsions with serious palpitations and almost died from combing the two. If Im happy with the anti-depressant and if it actually helps, Ill most likely cut down a lot on my marijuana smoking, but I love marijuana and it made me feel good when I thought there was nothing else to live for and I was finally able to just relax for the 1st time in years. Does anybody else do this? and is it safe?
If you can afford it, MJ can be a good antidepressant on it's own. It may not work as powerfully as say zoloft, but it doesn't have anywhere near the side effects and I didn't feel as doped up as I did on anti's. Anti depressants never made me get over depression, they just made me into someone else that was "normal" and not depressed. And personally, My opinion of antidepressants is that It isn't any better than any other habit, If you have seen someone on withdrawl from antidepressants, it's just about as bad as someone withdrawing booze.

I have taken zoloft and toked before and it DID give me the shakes, for a moment I thought I got bud laced with meth, but I remembered that I took the pill earlier. I didn't have to see a doctor or anything, but I wasn't very comfortable.

So I would avoid taking them both. But honestly, over the long term, I have had much better luck without the antidepressants and just plain old MJ (not even once a day). And on the plus side, you can still get your freak on when you're high. Don't even bother looking at porn let alone try and get it on if you take antidepressants TOTAL WASTE OF TIME!

hope this helps.

The thing is, I HAVE taken anti-depressants before and they didnt really help at all. The only thing they did help is my deep depression, but I didnt feel like a human being anymore, its hard to explain. I was tried on about 6 different anti depressants over the course of 3 years, and I ended up just stopping taking any of them (my psychiatrist actually said it was okay to stop them, because none of them were helping), I was much better and could think clearer after I stopped. I also know how bad the withdrawal is, I was either taking effexor or prozac before I quit cold turkey, and man....that was probably the worst 3 weeks of my life. From the brain zaps, to nausea, I couldnt sleep but couldnt stay awake, I was shaking constantly, it was real bad.

You all just reminded me how much I hate anti-depressants. Also, the only illicit drug I take rite now is marijuana, and thats hardly even a drug. It does help a lot with my depression, but my main problem now is anxiety, and since marijuana is illegal and I have to hide it from everybody, it adds to the anxiety a little. Im not sure what I should do rite now. I like weed, dont like anti-depressants and medication, but I cant go on any longer the way Im going now.

I think if you are on antidepressants and you still want to smoke weed then those pills aren't working. The weed is more natural anyway. Big pharma has to have everyone on some sort of pills.

I've done it for years, my friend.The weed helps with the rage.I have a physician's desk reference that says weed can increase the effect of the antidepressant.

If it's anxiety, ask your physciatrist about seroquil. Helps me, and works like a charm. Will have you sleeping like a baby.

Do you have a grow journal somewhere? I'd like to see more pics of that. Looks like a really nice plant.
