Depression Medication?

i for one have a friend that's been on several antidepressants...and yet he swears by weed

 

I find that marijuana helps alot with slight-moderate depression. Ill smoke all the time when im a little down in the dumps. However, last year i was pretty depressed and smoking actually made it worse. So id say if u just have a case of bad mondays smoke up but if its pretty severe i would lean away from weed until things get better. Im sorry man i was really depressed last year so i know exactly how ur feeling

 

My parents tried to make me take Prozac. But I research every drug and hate the pharmaceutical world. They just wire those drugs so you're dependent on them. They're just a bunch of greedy bastards. I suffer from depression/anxiety and I have found marijuana to be a huge relief. I practice meditation and try to always have a good mind set. I only use marijuana to enhance my life rather then escape it.

Everything in moderation.

 

I was prescribed the SSRI, Zoloft, and used it for about 8 months. I had a very similar experience as you and felt that it drained my emotions, and had me feeling like a zombie. I have been smoking marijuana daily for the past year or so and have found that it has helped me become a better, happier person. Not directly however. I found that I would focus on negative aspects in my life while high, and think of ways to improve them. This ranged from improving relationships with my parents, to picking up hobbies and even not hanging out with certain people anymore. Overall I believe that marijuana has helped me and my depression in far more ways then Zoloft ever did.

 

If you want sure fire anti-depressive action, you can't go wrong with Syrian Rue. It's the best natural source of the Harmala alkaloids, beta-carboline MAOi's. Syrian Rue, as well as Passionflowers, Yage Vine, and St. John's Wort all are natural sources of MAOi. As long as foods high in tyramine are avoided, the herbs will be highly beneficial to a sufferer of depression.

 

I had depression apparently, I just think I wasn't motivated for life. Started smoking weed and growing it, gave me a great passion for the herb and now I enjoy every bit of my life People are different tho

also depression medication sucks "warning may increase risk of suicide" haha love that! I did take it for a month and it also made me emotionless, so I stopped

St johns did nothing for me.

 

Prozac, Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Ativan.

I was just like you, I hated them, I smoked weed because it was the only thing that worked. Then I got really dependent on bud, which is a very expensive way to self medicate. So I decided to give prescription drugs another try.

Got on Adderal. Oh my God! It works!

 

I was on Zoloft for about 4 or 5 years and although it did help me feel better I hated the side effects of it such as excessive sweating and insomnia. Been off it for 2 or 3 months now and have never felt better, now I smoke weed pretty much every day and it seems to stabilise my mood quite well.

 

The first time I took Adderal I felt normal for the first time. I don't take it ever day because I am very aware that it has abuse potential and isn't the healthiest of drugs. But it honestly changed my life. Felt like I was reborn as a new and smarter, stronger, faster, skinner person. Feels good man.

 

I was diagnosed with clinical depression, and weed will always be my "crutch" when it comes to anti-depressants. It keeps me happy, not just when I'm high, but throughout the day, it alleviates stress.

 

I have a prescription for adderall...helps immensely with study and focusing, I'm not dependent on it in any way, I'm prescribed to take it every day but I only take it when I study for big tests or have big assignments to do and then save the rest for future purposes, recently went off it because I'm considering joining the military. Need to be off it for at least a year before I can join tho.
But if you take adderall every day you WILL become dependent on it to function, just like with weed.

Prolonged use can also lead to heart problems in the future, and that's a fact.

 

I believe that the pharmaceutical industry has completely infiltrated the FDA, hospitals, and doctor's offices. They are over prescribing powerful medications that should only be taken by people who have extreme cases. Most people who take them are cash cows for the pharma industry.
