Hello kgibson: I can't really advise you with regard to this. It is certainly true, in my experience, that psych med's have an impact on a person's general brain function... beyond what they're actually being taken for. And then when you throw marijuana & alcohol into the mix it just makes everything that much more complicated. I'm certainly no expert with regard to these sorts of things. But, from my perspective, it's no wonder you're having the problems you're having.

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
