Using cannabis and bipolar meds? What are professional advice, and personal accounts?

I am a pothead and I have not had any problems with it interacting with any of my medications. I tend to vape on hybrid weed which is a mix of indica/Sativa but more towards the Indica side. The only medication I have stopped taking is my Ambian cause I have not needed it since last September.

Here is a warning though if you have never eaten an edible I suggest that whatever you get that you only eat a 1/4 at a time. Edibles can also take up to two to three hours to kick in depending on the person. So I would eat a 1/4 or half then wait two to three hours for it to kick in if at the two hour mark you are not feeling it eat another 1/4 if you are feeling it at the two hour mark ride it out for a bit and if you want to get higher eat another 1/4.
Now the reason you should eat it slowly is you don't want to much in your system cause it will turn a good day into a real bad day real quick the term used is Greening out.

Have fun enjoy and be safe.

I had the same experience doing government contracting. And was randomly screened. Guess it makes sense when you're culturing anthrax. Gotta love biotechnology.

I have used a little pot, I have used a LOT of pot. Everyone reacts differently but I found in small, occasional doses cannabis had no impact on my mental health or medication. Problem was I couldn't stop there and ended up smoking from wake-up to sleep-time. That did have a negative impact on my mental health and most likely interfered with my meds. I have a love/hate relationship with cannabis, and an addictive personality. After smoking heavily for a few years I quit last May and haven't smoked since and I must say I feel better for it. But I was smoking a huge amount.

My T was always ok with moderate use but all pdoc's I have seen wanted me to not smoke at all, saying it interfered with my meds and exacerbated the bipolar in any amount. Some people have bad reactions to it but many benefit from it as it can calm anxiety, lift mood and generally balance things out. If I could smoke it only occasionally without being tempted to go all-day everyday, I probably would. When smoking a lot it did worsen my anxiety, caused me to isolate myself and put me in danger as i did reckless things. It also may have led to several BAD mixed episodes. I must add that I smoked or vaped it, never ate it. That affects you differently altogether so I can't comment on it. Why do you want to try it?

Thanks for sharing your info. One question -- what is 1/4? The store I called has candy bars, with 10 pieces on each bar. The guy says to start with 2 pcs. I tend to react to low doses of anything. I don't have the content, but I'm sure I can get it. I don't understand the content part.
