I am on Fluoxetine 40mg per day and find weed, a nice Indica helps with the symptoms and the panic attacks that depression causes, there must be others like my situation, weed is amazing and when it all goes dry for a bit i can handle it just but it`s like losing an old freind.

Hope that made sense, i`d just be interested in knowing other chilled out people here that love their weed.

Peace all and a merry christmas.

I love my weed!

LMAO, and the funny thing is, no one ever knew about it. SHe kept it all inside and everything it was funny hearing about it later.

Peace

That`s really interesting cos i do feel sometimes that i could feel better if i was off.

I do plant to half my dose and see what life is like, peace all.

yeah prozac just made the depression worse for me,, i took lexapro for a while but now the weed just helps

Hi there Gunge9 I can relate to your situation.I suffered from depression for a fair few years myself,which culminated in me having a mental breakdown.Sure,i was crazy then,wont even try to deny it,but it sorted me out.I lost the support of my family and friends through all of this but things are all good now 6 years on.All of the so called experts told me to lay off the weed cause they said it was fucking my mind up and at the time i believed them.I did take flouoxetine for 18 months and i believe it went a long way towards getting my mind back on track again.Since then,i have stopped listening to all the bullshit that the so called experts spout and made an effort to learn about cannabis from more informed sources.Weed is a natural anti-depressant.It didnt cause my mental issues.That was my doing.I cant recommend what you do because im no "qualified" person but i strongly believe that cannabis is harmless.Good luck with your personal quest my friend.

I was on Prozac for a bit, it gave me horrible stomach pains, and it made me feel detached.

Zoloft made me have dreams of murdering people, so that's no good.

I liked Amitriptyline (Elavil) because it's didn't give me any bad side effects, I felt happier, and it really increased my high when I smoked while taking it.

Don't give up! It's difficult to find a good medicine that'll make you feel okay, but it's worth it.

I take Prozac/fluoxetine 40mg a day, also, ever since I was 14. I now also take Lamictal (which treats bipolar), 200mg a day. The combination helps, but every once in a while I'll still get the weird panic or anxiety attacks where my heart will palpitate and I get all shaky and irritable. I just take a couple hits and then I'm all good. MJ really is a miracle worker.

Switched from Celexa to Cannabis, much happier with the Cannabis, and despite the munchies, I've lost weight that the pills made me put on.

Fabulous.

Agreed. Fluoxetin sucks!

Weed is better without it, sex is better without it, everything is better without it.

I almost went crazy because of this shit. It fucks with your mind and gets you even more depressed.

Screw this i do feel it`s time to get back to how i used to be i think, it`s been 5 years now and i really want to come off. I feel like i don`t know myself anymore and all i long for is a smoke to feel halfway normal.

I`m gonna see the doc and ask about a step down programme for me and i`ll let you know how i get on. I feel dependant on my medication but dependant on weed too, but i feel the weed is so much better for me and nil side effects.

I was on Citalipram before the change of drug, does anyone here rate it better than prozac ? I found if i missed the odd day or two it would play hell on my sex drive. I dont mean gettin the horn i mean total loss of desire.

Xanax has helped me. But I don't take it anymore.

Well thats my new years resolution and get off this medication and smoke myself silly !!

I'm a prozacer myself...10mg (I've slowly trying to wean myself off of it). Marijuana does help though...it's like that boost that just helps lighten things up. What does suck though is when you have a bad trip. It totally ruins me (since I'm taking such a low dosage) so usually after a bad trip I have to bounce back up to 15mg. I know, it's bad to fluctuate like this, but I've successfully gone from 30mg a day to 10mg and that makes me feel good.

I was taking 40 mg Prozac for some time but it has a disastrous effect on the libido, so I went down to 20 mg which helped a little, and the dr added 100 mg of Welbutrin and that seems okay except now I have a bit more anxiety, whoch weed relieves. In fact,I find weed relieves more symptoms than either one of those, and I am growing so to get to the point where I don't have to take either!
Keep in mind, I started taking the Prozac about 12 years ago, and it really did save me from deep depression and suicidal ideation, as well as helped a lot with my OCD. But I'd like to not have to take any pharmaceutical -
I feel comforted when I smoke. It just seems like the reasonable choice - medicine that works!

Hey I have been on prozac for three years now and it helped me a lot so I do not want to give it a bad rap. But My life circumstance is better now so I am going to have the MD wean me off it. Warning-you can not just stop taking it or you go thru really bad withdrawal. Pro made me gain about 8 pounds in my belly--which I hate. Even tho I hyt the gym 5 days a week the wt will not go away . I look forward to losing it fast when I stop prozac. But it definately helped me a lot thru a very tough time of my life so I am happy I did it. But weed is def good for some people depressed but yu should know it can cause depression in others.

I take 10mg prozac but when i go to the doctors im uppin it to 20mgs, i think it deffiently helps, i stopped taking it over the summer and during september i got sooo depressed, for no reason at all, i had an oz, my loving gf, everything yet this feeling in the pit of my stomach was tehre and it was depression(the feeling i knw all to well) and so i decide i would start taking it again, and it defiently helped so ive been on it again since. Its kinda funny too cuz i swear i get a different buzz when i take it lol.

I was on celexa then switched to effexor afterwards. I'm a heavy weed smoker. I found the antidepressants blocked my high !! this drove me crazy!!
Anybody else have the same problem ? I quit antidepressants partly because of that.
worse of all, I find the effects of weed to now be at a lower degree than before I screwed up the brain chemistry with meds. In other words, there is no high anymore.

I'm on lexapro, which is also an SSRI like prozac which is what you're taking. I don't know if it's a placebo or what, but after I smoke weed and get a good night's rest, I feel like a million bucks the next day.

So marijuana didnt affect you badly on Lexapro? I have heard differant things, Im only on 10 mgs a day and am trying to do some research on the correlation between antidepresants and its affect on weed. I know marijuana doesnt directly affect seratonin reuptake inhibitors or even your seratonin level itself. But it could have an effect on norephinprine or dopamine , two other neurotransmitters in the brain ( I ask my psych teacher what differant drugs do to your brain chemistry all the time and hes cool with it ..haha) which also affect your mood.

really you never know what weed or alcohol will do to you on antidepressants. Its differant for everyone.
