In reply to Moderate Marijuana use with SSRI's..., posted by charly on November 9, 2002, at 15:26:42
I've been smoking weed pretty much daily for the past 13 years. I've been on Celexa, Paxil, Effexor, Clonazepam, Trazadone, and Depakote. Of course, once I started medication, I slowed down my intake of marijuana quite a bit but I've never had one problem with smoking weed while on meds.Put it this way, if you never got overly depressed/suffered panic attacks before you started taking the SSRI while smoking weed, then you should not experience that now.
Alcohol, however, is a different story altogether for me. Used to be able to drink quite a bit, now if I have any more than 2 drinks while on the meds I start to get really funny. Like scary high. However, there are lots of people that seem to be able to drink moderate amounts while on any of these drugs.
I'd say test it for yourself but don't overdo it. If either the marijuana/alcohol creates an adverse reaction to the medication that you're taking, then just don't do it again.
