These prescribed meds are messing up my insides. I'm not sure the "benefits" outweigh the side effects. I've had infections that were more pleasant. I just wanted an antidepressant, but can't because I'm bipolar. So I need mood stabilizers first, but my bipolar is apparently hard to treat because I get mixed episodes and have rapid cycling. I'm gonna give it a few more weeks before I try shrooms for my depression. Even my wife is getting tired of me on these meds. Nothing is fun, but depression still breaks through.

At this point, the worst thing that can happen appears to be a manic episode which should be clamped down by the huge quantities of mood stabilizers my psych is giving me.

Hang in there.

I am a mental health worker, and I am also a patient.
Doctors sometimes need to try a few mixtures and doses before they get the meds right. They are tying to get most benefit with least harm.

In the meantime, be frank with your doctor about cannabis and anything else you take. It matters.

Talk with them about your moods, energy, side effects. They need to know.

Sorry to say, mood stabilizers prevent mania but also keep your mood slightly low. It is a worthwhile trade-off when you consider what can happen when someone's manic.

Old habits die hard.

Since the early 70's there were seasonal dry spells, busts at the borders, paraquat, etc. In other words regular supplies were hit and miss.

So everyone kept a roach collection.

Fast forward...weed is everywhere, both legal and "legacy market"



WHY DO I STILL SAVE MY ROACHES?

it chaps my hide how they care a lot about mania, but the depression gets the "we care a lot" BS. Mania affects everyone but me. I've never even gone manic, only hypomanic. Depression is literally the worst thing I've ever gone through (although these meds are a close second).

My psych is totally up on my canna use. In fact, she's told me that if that's what works, to keep doing it. That was good because my dad who is a retired doc is relentless in shaming my weed habit. My response these days is "If medicine is so good, why hasn't it worked? Weed works for me every single day."

This is treatment plan number 4 so far. I know that number can go a lot higher and I'm impatient. It's my life that's not getting lived and if I can't get my head clear, it won't matter because I'll lose my job.
