I smoke weed along while taking my medication Lexapro and Risperidone.?

You don't trust "Modern nasty medicine" but you will trust an illegal substance, that you don't know where it has been grown treated or handled?

Weed is masking your symptoms. Lexapro and Risperdone are coming closer to treating cause. Modern nasty meds are not as nasty or harmful as street 'meds.' Getting stoned is a side effect, so you don't have that argument, either. You are being illogical. If you have psychotic depression, you are exacerbating the psychosis. If you have bipolar, you can expect some continued progression of the illness over time.

I suggest you take honey and a pumpkin to a river and ask Oschun to assist you in not needing weed and Lexapro. I don't know what Risperidone is, but ask for assistance from that also.

Marijuana will not alleviate the depression, but will make it worst. You are spending unnecessary money and staying addicted to a substance.

Also go to counseling to try to get to the root of the problem.

These are all idiotic answers.

First off, illegal or not, man made booze and pillls$ and god made grass, who do you trust?

1.5------ if youre worried about where it came from, move to one of the states where its sold in a dispensary or youre allowed to grow your own. more and more states will make this happen.

second, Everything in moderation. im learning that it is more important to get to the root of the problem, because if you have prior stress and anxiety and bud is your only coping skill, you wont learn to cope without.

Most of all.........nothing is better than natural health.

more physical activity (im trying to get to a gym more and fill time with some other activities), drink WATER ( you wont believe how many people in this world dont drink water near the recommended amount, HELLO youre made of water you need it to function) ......

........eat better, get all your sleep, meditate. spirituality and faith, what you live for and how you benefit your community, how much quality work you put in at your job, all play in to your true happiness.

Also, seasonal depression plays a huge factor in my problems and the North east had a nasty nasty winter this year.

I have actually found that once the risperidone built up enough,(also on 150 mg bupropion) i began having pretty bad anxiety attacks when coming down from bud. i plan to quit all mind altering substances and focus on the things i mentioned. will go back to smoking when my body is rid of unnatural things.

Marijuana is said to increase drowsiness with Risperidone. There are no known adverse interactions when taking Lexapro with marijuana.

Smoking pot has a higher risk of causing lung cancer than smoking cigarettes.
