I don't blame you.. they work for some people,
but for the most part they are bad news.

Antidepressants can definitely help, although for some, they have little effect or bad effects. I've heard from some friends that they were glad they started antidepressants. You can always try it out.
Are you smoking weed as a way to deal with depression or anxiety, or is it purely recreational? I have a sag friend who smokes more when her anxiety hits, but that doesn't help her overcome her anxiety. It just suppresses it for a short period of time.

Are they ssri's?
It they are, you shouldn't drink or you will go mental.
True.
Did you know that they required this drug interaction
warning (with alcohol) in Europe, but it was NOT
required in the US-- so they left it off for years until
they had no choice.
SSRIs are esp bad for people with substance abuse issues.
Google (or Bing) "ssris and alc... " and what pops up is
'Ssris and alcohol cravings'
Wonder how many people got fked over with that.. or overeaters
with sugar cravings (same thing).
i have used weed many times , and have had deep consversations with ppl about it / plus looking it up too much .
and i came to the conclusion , that it's one of the lightest drugs , better than coffee , and a healthy life is always a must.
BUT THE GOLDEN RULE ALWAYS PREVAILS : Moderation Is Key.
I would say once a day max for weed ..... i wouldn't take antidepressants , i have heard bad things about them , it's better to use 2 times more weed[or vitamins b/taurine/gaba/l-theanine[all antianxiety] than antis or pharma drugs..
Things to advise : use salt if you are too stoned cause weed drops Blood pressure and rises heart reate , salt does the reverese [ helped me many times]
Drink water, exercise , and eat healthy, enjoy the little things in your day , and you will certainly enjoy weed and life.
I am 100% sure about all those i wrote. Good luck.

Stay far away from them. Unless you have severe mental issues, unless you have Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder or anything that is very serious... DO NOT take them. They are so dangerous and mind-altering medications. We all go through tough times and go in and out of depression, it is apart of the human experience. You're gonna have some tough times in your life and some good times in your life. Do not rely on anti-psychotic, mind-altering medications because I know people who went crazy from them. They are not as safe as the corrupt doctor's make them out to be. There are serious side-effects and you can even have suicidal thoughts on them.
Thank you for responding!

People seem to forget that 2-3 hours of daily exercise and a healthy diet will do WONDERS for the mind, spirit and body.
All this crap about medications usually gets thrown at people who are not eating a healthy diet full of natural foods, and certainly not getting 2-3 hours of exercise a day.
When a person is taking care of nutrition and exercise, a hell of a lot of these problems do not affect us.
I've actually been cutting back in my fast food intake and I've been drinking lots of water.

Taking those made bipolar type 2 real. They made me hypomanic. You also can't drink.click to expand
Okay. I'll keep that in mind if I get some new meds.

they are...but if she is in a not happy/ good place in her life, it can be temporary.
I try to tell my close relatives who were on anti-depressants that it's bad for them too, but they are really depressed and it will help them for a short while.
plus i can't stop them ; they are not happy in their lives, so they need an outlet.
and i agree with Scenic, they can help you if you are in a low point of your life.
I'm glad you asked, and that people have their heads on straight about the medication. I am against these kinds of drugs, they often make you worse, have alcohol cravings and booze fucks you up, and meds can make your symptoms worse. Then trying to get off them makes you worse! Doctors don't know how to safely get someone off those meds, only taper you onto another medication.
It is fine if it actually works for someone but it is such a huge risk.

i agree with this...
but how do you push someone to get out there??
maybe get a partner to help both motivate to get outside and exercise and walk a couple hours a day. two people together can do wonders.
