    how would i go about getting medical marijuana for depression?i went to a therapist and he said that i do indeed suffer from a form of depression and possibly could be bi-polar. so if i go to a doctor about this,is there someway i could pass for it?

    I've never heard of MMJ as a depression med... Alot of people believe that it actually makes depression worse when your not high... I don't really know about this, what i do know is I myself suffer from depression... and i just make it so I'm Not depressed in my head... I think weed is a wonderful thing and med... but depression is a mental chemical imbalance, i'm not sure weed does anything for it while ur not high. For depression, you need a more permanant fix. Try just maybe... making yourself happy? And smoke weed anyways :p

    Somehow or other, MJ works wonders as a med for me. ADD, depression, and insomnia, and all of 'em go away as long as I toke at least once a week. *Shrugs* That's just me, though.

    Nah man, I'm on zoloft and it's made a world of difference, but it takes at least 2 weeks to start working. It took 8 weeks before it really started helping me. Give it a couple months before you give up on it.

    that is funny I have bipolar and marijuana helps it when I am high, but when i am without it it is hard to be happy because i am not happy with myself. What I am saying is you need medication.

    I used to take zoloft, but it gave me little bumpy rashes on my chest/abs, so I got off it. Anyone else have this?

    Zoloft makes my equilibrium slant....and walking feeling like you're tilted (or being pulled) sideways does tend to give you motion sickness. No SSRI's for me. :p

    its been said before in this thread, but it does nothing immeadiatly. on avg it needs to be in your system for two weeks before it starts working and then goes from theee. keep popping thise pills, man.

    Like some of you, I'm also on effexor for mild deppression. Dirtydingus asked if other effexor users feel numb when they miss doses, and i know exactly what you're talking about. I have some numb feeling, but i mostly get light-headed and I feel detached from myself. I also spiral down into depression if is miss more than one day. Being on the shit sucks. So, people have brought it up before, but does anybody know if you can actually get a perscription for the sweet chiba if you have depression?
