In reply to Effexor XR Marijuana Use, posted by chimo on July 19, 2001, at 10:50:47
Chimo - A couple of things to mention on Effexor and marijuana use. First, I have been told by several people that they don't get as intoxicated on marijuana as they use to before they started the Effexor and they tend to use more MJ to achieve the desired effect. I don't know if this is true as no one has offered me a joint, and I am too cheap to go and try to buy some (probably end up with oregano anyway).
Also, in some people, especially those predisposed to bipolar disorder, marijuana can act as a trigger to mania or psychosis. I didn't believe that there really was a cannabis psychosis, until I actually saw someone with it. I had always dismissed these cases as people who just couldn't handle being high, but there is definitely more to it than that.
I hope that this is of some help. - Cam.
