[QUOTE=BlueCalx;21905351]But this would mean that cannabis can be physically addicting, which it ISN'T. Yes it CAN be psychologically addicting, but SS is typical of physical addiction.[/QUOTE]
It's not physically addicting ON IT'S OWN. We're talking about mixing it with other things. And I do not think that it is going to happen, I simply said that it may be possible.

[QUOTE=Anubis678;21905054]Unrelated: How long have you been on Zoloft? How much are you taking?
I switched to Budeprion SR (Wellbutrin) recently. It's... fucking weird...[/QUOTE]
Three days. I hate it. It's making me incredibly edgy. I've had 6 anti histamines that supposedly have an anti-anxiety effect at high dose. I've had 2 ceitrizines, some vodka, everything, I feel so anxious on this shit that's supposed to do the opposite.
I am either going to quit this or I'm going to continue on and hope it improves when the doctor said it would.
What dose?
I fucking hated Zoloft. I stopped taking it before my Rx ran out and told my doc I wanted to switch off of it at my first opportunity.
[editline]09:34PM[/editline]
Dunno if this shit is much better, though. It's making me a lot more anxious, but I can deal with that, I suppose. It's also making me more aggressive and slightly paranoid...
This is supposed to make me less anxious. I'm on 50mg. I just took another 50mg but I'm feeling so fucked up. Your one sounds like it's Dopaminergic. That might be more what I want. This Serotonin is not for me. I'm feeling so edgy and hyperactive, not good. I'm up to 100mg of Zoloft today, I think it'll help the anxiety long enough for me to get to sleep.
It's not the kinda thing you just take once... Medications like that are meant to be taken steadily over the course of months. They don't even take full effect until a month or more in.
Guys, what the fuck lol.
Dan, every drug interacts with many many receptors. If you think Weed substances interacts only with CB1 and CB2, you are wrong.
For example, LSD touches 40+ receptors known to man, and even more unknown receptors.
I don't even want to know what receptors weed substances touch.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Also all talk about this SSRI, they sound so fucking edgy.
Example, my friends mom is taking Wellbutrin I think. Well, she got mental breakdown, she started pooping pills like a candy (those anti-depressants)
She is fucking lucky to be alive.
You can't just boost up your dose like that, man. It takes like a week or so of consistent use to start to take effect.
Budeprion is an NDRI (Norepinephrine & Dopamine). It has mild stimulant effects, which I've noticed are weird. I'm on 150mg SR, and I took 300mg yesterday and today to help with finals. I didn't feel any stimulation, but I had trouble staying in one place for too long. Serious anxiety issues, but it more like everything is just moving too slow and it's frustrating. I was driving around, and it felt like I was crawling down the road. I'd end up going 10-15mph over the speed limit without even noticing, and I'd slow down and it'd feel sooooo fucking slow.
And then there's the paranoia and mood swings. I feel much more irritable now. When I smoked with my friends, it was a strange high. Much more disorienting, and significant paranoia. Not like, "Oh shit, the cops" paranoia, but more like schizophrenic-style paranoia (i.e.- "Everyone is plotting against me"). I kept thinking that my friends had planned out everything that happened just to humiliate me, even though that was completely irrational.
I dunno... this shit is weird...

Erm, whatever man. Weed only "significantly" binds to CB1 and CB2 then. Do I have to be implicit in my every word? Why are you being so pedantic. Cannabis will not fucking give you Serotonin Syndrome, it's such a stupid statement to make and I am amazed how many people think it could happen.
On to the point about SSRIs. Things got too much and I had to ask a friend if I could take one of her beta blockers. It worked wonders, thank fuck. I think I'm going to stop this if I get this again tomorrow night, but I'm keen to try and get through it.
Anubis, sounds like you should get off that shit too, sounds bad. What was wrong with Wellbutrin?
Yeah, when I was on Zoloft, I was also on Propranolol, which is a beta blocker. It helped far more than the Zoloft ever did. I've got a few left, I'm saving them for when I really need them. I wish I had a refill, though. Definitely the only meds that have worked for me.
Budeprion SR is generic version of Wellbutrin

Fuck me Propranolol is exactly what I'm using! PHEW! I was scared that I was doing something dangerous. I feel way better on this stuff. I have one more pill. My pulse is like 70bpm which is nice, it's been 95bpm most of the week due to the shitty stimulating SSRI.
Thanks for telling me that man. Made my day, although it just started, here in the UK. I'm going to ring my doctor and ask about Propranolol tomorrow see if I can get some of that too. I AM a bit worried about my health though, my heart is beating a lot slower and softer than usual, but hey, I guess that's beta blockers.
Dan you know your shit man.

Propranolol is the shit man. Gonna talk to the doc to get a refill. I took some tonight before I started smoking so I could maybe mellow out the effects of the Wellbutrin. It helped a little, but we ended smoking a lot and it was fucking insane. I don't think I've ever been that high before, and definitely not for how little we smoked. The Wellbutrin makes it feel more like a trip. General sense of disorientation, feeling like your wrapped in a warm cozy blanked of intoxication, completely stoned... it's pretty fucking nice, but I'm glad we didn't end up around people at all.
1. Your anti-depressants should not be an issue. Weed would most likely help you.
2. The trippy high where time and distance is distorted (the best time) lasts anywhere from 30-70 minutes depending on quality and quantity of intake. The stuff completely wears off after 4-6 hours depending on the activity you are doing at the time. As soon as you take that first hit your body immediately kicks into the detox mode just like with any other drug.
3. YES! It can affect you school work. In many cases, users opt to smoke weed instead of doing their homework and or studying. I keep a strict rule: NO SMOKING ON SCHOOL NIGHTS. It's a considerably hard rule to follow, however it truly works! In fact, before I started smoking I could barely pull a 3.0 now I have a 4.0 easy.
4. One bowl is usually .25 of 1 gram.
1 Gram = $20
3.5 Grams (an eighth)= $50 to
I usually smoke between 4-9 bowls depending on the occasion and who I'm with.
5. Do not start smoking weed before high school. Preferably start as a sophomore in high school (10th grade). Your brain is still developing greatly until 23 years of age then progress starts to slow. However, weed has not been proven to hinder neural development.
Conclusion: The stuff is pretty much harmless, honestly. The only thing to need to be aware of is that it IS a gateway drug. I started shmokin and got tired of the standard feelin' meaning I wanted to ADVENTURE and try out new things. Keep a tight leash on the stuff and do not do anything that may affect you in the future!
Don't say weed is a gateway drug. If completely depends on the person. Say, did you try a drag on a cigarette or drank beer before you tried smoking weed? If so, tobacco and alcohol are the gateway drugs, people seem to forget that, and in my opinion, this is a fact that any people are [b]extremely[/b] unaware of, and helps give marijuana a worse reputation.

did you experience this?
Thankfully, no. I was only on 25mg a day, and I was able to just stop without any issues. I've read that a lot of people experience serious issues when stopping, though. That's more or less why I decided to switch to something else.
Weird.... I'm on Zoloft as well... (50 mg)
420 biatch
and just try it and see if you like it sheesh
it's not a world shattering decision
...
it's not like ONE HIT AND YOU MIGHT GET THE MADNESS!!!
1. Unless it's laced, no.
2. Depends on the person and the weed.
3. You'll do better.
4. Depends on the weed.
5. One year.

nicely bumped with shit information man.
On a somewhat unrelated note, weed is the best anti-depressant money can buy.
