Okay to smoke weed when on depression medication?
    #7981318 - 02/05/08 01:48 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I have a friend who wants to try smoking weed with me but she is on medication for depression. I just wanted to clear up whether she is at risk because of her meds or it is perfectly ok for her to smoke weed.

Thanks in advance.

It wont interact badly with the meds. Ive done it before. The good thing about weed is that it can be mixed with other drugs without harm.

yes, and in fact the only thing that will happen is that she will get even more high, most likely...nothing wrong with that tho.

here's a good rule of thumb i like to go by: weed is ALWAYS GOOD.

seriously though, there is a relatively minimal toxicity (if you can even view it as any), and that could probably be circumvented for the most part by simply not smoking it. smoked cannabis can be bad, but it's really just about as bad as smoked ANYTHING. i mean, if you think about it, a barrage of combusted carbon molecules cant possibly be healthy for the sensitive and spongy windbags ya got in there, right?

DO NOT MIX CANNIBIS AND EFFEXOR!!!!!!!!

I don't know about other anti-depressants, but if you should never mix effexor with marijuana as this could result in a trip to the hospital.

If you don't believe me just get on the effexor experience vault on Erowid and check any one that combines effexor with cannibis: Effexor Experience Vault

My best friend did this without knowing and he could feel his heart beating in his chest for two days straight.

she isn't for meds that influence brain chemistry for nothing.. the best thing to do is probably not smoke until the depression clears up

best get off those SSRI's before they fuck with you. Harder to get off than heroin.

I'm on a mood-stabilizer for bi-polar disorder, but I smoke like a fiend every day. Never had a problem with sudden dips into depression since I've been on the meds, and I've been on them for close to a month and a half. The psychiatrist didn't recommend smoking or drinking on the prescription, but I never had the intentions of heeding his advice. If anything, herb and meds have completely mellowed my life out.

However, depression, though it's associated with bi-polar disorder, by itself may be a different story. When you've got medication helping to balance chemicals and herb aiding to distort them, I can't imagine your brain is happy. But once again, I smoke on my medication every day and have not once been sent spiraling back into any depressive state. It varies with the person, I guess.
