I don't smoke, but I have a brother who does daily, and even though he has been prescribed anti-depressants he will not take them-not sure if it is because of the pot.
As for alcohol, I do drink, but I know that this should only be a minor amount because alcohol does not allow the drugs to be effective.
Good luck!

My psychiatrist has given me Lamictal and Zyprexa, which I was sort of stable on at one point before (but I took a lot more than I was comfortable with). She wants me to take 10mg Zyprexa because apparently she's worried that I might be going into a psychosis, but I doubt that's ever going to happen, and she said I could take only 2.5mg if I found I was stable enough on that. I see my T once a week and also go to group therapy for the BPD once a week, but I'm likely not going to be allowed to continue with that T and group (hence the loss of motivation and relapse). Pot could be the reason your brother isn't taking his pills, because of the paranoia, but that's highly unlikely I think. I'm not taking mine yet because I feel like I'm doing fine right now. I'm waiting until I'm not fine again, so probably not long at all unless something changes.
