Answer 1

READ all of this!

Well i guess that its u that's smoking weed. I myself am boarderline, (first diagnosed as bipoler) its all bullcrap. anyways to your question.

i myself took medication starting from 15, (im 17 now and don't take any more medication), i was on all kind of anti-depressants. I can tell you from experience and talking to alot of Dr's that smoking weed will affect you differently if you are on anti-depressants. of course it really depends on how high of a dose. But if the Prozac makes you feel different anyways, then really, do not smoke weed with it. heres why:

I noticed that when i take anti-depressants and smoke weed, i get alot more of a happy feeling than JUST smoking weed. (but hold on, that's the only good part about this combination)

i noticed that the heart beating and nausea increases ALOT when combining the two, which cannot be good. You will find yourself also eventually throwing up after weed sessions too. As a frequent pot smoker myself i will tell you this; weed is addictive and ****s up your tollerence. that's why you are gunna be finding yourself (i dunno how old you are but) finding yourself need to smoke two bowls instead of one to get high like u used to. and so on. With alot of weed in ur system, the anti-depressants wont work properly and will cause you mood swing, TRUST ME on this. i know what im talking about. Ive seen it happen to myself

MY adivice is, lay off the anti-depressants man. it took me 3 years to understand that Dr's just make their money by saying you are BIPOLAR or whatever and will perscribe you anything for them to be secure about you not killing yourself. i bet if ur Dr knew you smoke weed he would have not given you medication or he would have kindly asked you to lay off the haze a bit for you to take ur meds... Now

do this

tell your dr you smoke weed, tell him EXACTLY how you smoke, how much (about) and what feeling u get when ur not on meds and smoking weed and vice versa.

he will know then what to do. but if you ask me, just tell the Dr. you don't wanna take anymore meds, and he will lower the dose for you himself (slowly) do NOT attempt to do this yourself. just don't

If you are bipolar, (i don't know your story) but if you are then weed is the best medication. The Prozac gives you more side affects than weed (depending on dosage and your weight).

to answer your question finally (sorry im kinda baked) you are hurting yourself yes by combining the two. choose one of them and go with it. Do like i do:

if you choose weed, tolerence is a piece of crap. So you have to be cautious. when you smoke weed make sure everything you need to do in that day is done, all important things done. check. then you smoke and it will feel alot better when you reward yourself with weed. That's what bipolar, depressed, boarderline, etc or whatever should be doing.

not smoking everyday, now that's hard. Buts its possible. What i do is smoke one day, smoke the next (maybe if im stressed out) then take a break between like 1-2 days,

This is how weed was meant to be smoked.

i hope i made myself clear enough, so its now up to you to decide. im interested to hearing ur response, so just email me at falasiri@hotmail.com

if you need any help. good luck to you my friend
