What would you do?, Cannabis V.S. Ant-Depressants Options

[turntabletux]

1st off, I don't need health freaks tell me how bad cannabis is and whatnot..I know the facts! 2nd, I'd like to hear from the people that are or have taken anti-depressants.


All my life I've had issues. I've had a shitty childhood, school days, hell I had a shitty birth. I was diagnosed with both manic and bipolar depression when I was in middle school. I don't need to go on, because that's not the point, I always say someone else out there has it off worse than me.

Anyways I've been through 5 or 6 anti-depressants and 2 sleep aids. I finally started smoking cannabis in high school, about junior year. I like cannabis 1,000 times more than popping pills. When I took the pills I felt fake all the time. I felt like everything was forced, and my days would rely on if I took a little yellow, white or whatever color pill. Half the time I felt worse than if I didn't take the pills, just because I felt fake happy, the pills are making me smile.

I've been smoking cannabis everyday all day for the past 3 months, and it's been the best 3 months of my life. I've found out what I want to do with my life, overall I've learned more about myself. I started doing my homework, and better in school all together. It also helps me sleep really well.

As much as I love marijuana, I am not stupid. I'm always tired from coming down, takes a lot of money, and it makes me stupid. It doesn't lower my IQ or anything, but once in a while I'll just say something so stupid. Like repeat something someone just said to me. And it puts me in bad positions, for example; I wake and bake and my brother calls me for a ride because he's sick. I just don't want to be an unreliable person.

So if you were in my shoes, what would you do? Would you give the pills another shot. I know a lot of people on CB are against marijuana. Thanks for reading my novel!

The most reasonable option seems to request a revision of your prespcripted medication, supposing that the side effects that you experienced from taking it are unexpected.

Marihuana doesn't really make you feel better, but rather works as an analgesic psychoreactive. Considering your medical diagnosis and that you have no control over the THC dosage that you have been putting in your system for 3 months, one could say you're walking on the razor's edge as far as declaring that Marijuana is actually "helping" you.

I would ask for medical advice on the subject. If THC is actually better than the combination of pills you were originally issued, then you more than likely will receive a prescription for a cannabinoid approved for medical use.

That way you'd receive the medication you need in a controlled dosis that shouldn't harm your overall condition; as well as you won't risk getting into problems with the law.
