Lithium, Depakote, Lecithin, and WEED (tolerance, potentiate)

Got a couple of questions I have not been able to get answers for and I've been all over the internet like stink on poop. Its all up to you now. Do what you must.
I was recently diagnosed with bipolar II, and am considering going on lithium for a number of reasons (have been taking Depakote for about a week, not sure so far). Bottom line on this one, I need to take meds for intense anxiety and rapid cycling moods, but I gotta stay high...(igh igh igh igh...)(yes for all you do-gooders I had these symptoms before using MJ, and quitting altogether is not realistic). I have already discovered that SSRI's totally kill the high (strike one). Can't tell with the Depakote either way so far. The idea is trying to find something to help my symptoms all the while at least leaving the MJ be (the high) and hopefully bolstering it if at all possible. From the little I have been able to find on the subject, it would seem that lithium could truly be the one! Please don't be too good to be true. I already know about lithium and the disorder, what I need to know is its affect on the weed high. Better, Worse, Same, Longer, Shorter? I've read that it can make lsd and shrooms stronger, so it may stand to reason there's a good chance it could do the same with MJ. Somebody tell me true! Keep hope alive! It would truly be a dream come true if it could help me with anxiety/bipolar and bolster the high, prob too good to be true, 2 birds 1 stoner. Few quickies if you folks feel like it: What about any other things that may potentiate the weed high, read a little bit, Protease inhibitors--are they safe, viable, practical, accessible? And what about depakote? Will it affect the high? Can't tell so far. Tolerance. A bit high (ironic). Anything to be done besides smoking less and exercising and diet bullshit that doesn't work? How about lecithin, any real promise? Almost forgot. Shrooms (never done them, yet) also ironic. Read on here it can lower the cannabis tolerance somehow. Any takers?
Thanks a lot guys. I know it got a little long, answer what you will, I appreciate any and all info, for real. Thanks again.

I was on lithium for awhile for bipolar disorder, and it really didn't affect weed highs for me. I don't know, it might be different for everyone.

While in the Psyche Ward the gave me a big huge shot of GeoDon that let me rest for awhile. They tried the pills later and it made me giggle alot while watching the TV. They wanted me to sleep but I refused.
After that I was switched to Cybrexa at night (large dose) which would give me a short but intense dream stage sleep from which I would wake up and stumble around unable to do anything but cough (though the air their is dry).
Depakote at 500mg breakfast and bedtime were also used there, this was enjoyable, time was irrelevent except around the dynamically structured smoking breaks.
FYI, Last Fall I wasl put on Zoloft (reaching 200mg daily) after returinging from a 2000ug LSD trip. As my doses became larger I began to take them inconsistently and it drove me into a hell-on-earth made of orange and yellow and red. When I stopped the Zoloft and returned to my old habits is when I was sent to the Psyche Ward.
Anyway, that's my experiences and I'm thinking about doing the Depakot regularly (supposed to be rite now, and I took a dose today as well).
I am currently smoking HGMJ and 25/45scrnBH regularly and am fine. My pot tolerance is extremely high, the Zoloft interfaced with it terrible. I think depakote and geodon are mj compatible.

so sorry...i think im a little nuts myself but i self medicate...i just want to give you a small warning...lsd and lithium are a SUPERBAD mix...never do it....i had a friend commit suicide on that very combo and have seen two others go temoprarly bonkers and compleatly irrational and unreasonable...please be careful with whatever psycadelic and go get a second opinion....sometimes such strong antipsychotics do more harm than good....try kung fu, yoga, or meditation best of luck

yes, mixing psychedellics and the drs psychotomimetics is very dangerous and must be done with care
