Anyway, does anyne know its effect on Lamictal, Seroquel, Cymbalta, or Ativan?
I want to stop using pot, especially with all the other meds I'm taking.
Any help?

Honestly I'm somewhat surprised it even gets you high enough that you notice it.

What benefit do you derive from it's usage is more the question I'm curious about?

Isn't that perhaps the function of the proscribed meds?

What does it do that the others meds don't and vice versa?

I'm genuinely curious. marijuana and psychiatric drugs

I would think the Seroquel and Ativan would be enough to relax you. Are you taking marijuana for physical pain?

Good luck,

Dee

Be careful!! I take lamictal, abilify and wellbutrin and those meds in combo with daily pot smoking led to a psychotic breakdown for me. Thats what the doctors told me....I highly suggest you don't mix them.

Mixing pot with psych meds is not a good idea. In addition to being addictive, pot's a psychotropic drug so it could seriously mess with the affect of your prescribed drugs.
