second many of the other noncontrolled substances you can OD if you take the whole bottle at once. and we're suicidal already, giving us this is handing us a loaded gun.
I'm coming close to deciding to get off the majority of my meds. mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. I'd like to keep the vyvanse and Ativan for focus and sleep. and supplement that with cannabis once I get my card  . |
It's ironic, for sure.
I have thought about this a lot over the years. All of my siblings drink heavily and/or smoke a lot of weed. None commit to treatment by a pdoc. I do the opposite. Their approach, although it creates more hardships for them, is more "socially acceptable" to their social group. Neither "way" is more correct than the other. Either way, we are "medicating," it seems.
I feel research for better treatments are far behind where they should be for 2016, even though I have seen much improvement in the number of options over the past 30 years.
Some states offering MMJ won't allow use for any mental health diagnoses.
Maybe it's a much healthier way for some people?
I honestly hope this strategy works for you.
