I've read alot of the posts here and I am hoping to get some feedback on some of my questions regarding medication. I've been diagnosed bipolar/depression/bpd amongst others I'm sure... I hate labels... I have abused alcohol at times in my life. I believe that was a means of self medication. It has been about 5 years since I've tied one on.
I'm on depakote 1500mg, effexor 150mg, seroquel 25mg prn. I was on lithium many years ago and zoloft but I was drinking alot then. I recently tried a different mood stabilizer but it did not agree with me.
I've been for the last year and a half been taking pot as a means to stop the anxiety/depression/slow me down basically keep me from getting too high and too low. I guess I call it balance!!!!!
I am scared though because I know that it turns on me at times. Sometimes I'll not eat because I'm so busy and focused on doing things.
Then on the otherhand I'll get lazy sometimes and just sit and watch t.v.
