I have had Bipolar as long as I can remember. I'm now 24. I have never been big on drinking or anything like that, though I do smoke weed. I find that it helps level out my moods (it actually lets me laugh at things and not take silly things too seriously!) I am on Depakote and Paxil right now and I am having a tough time with the side effects and getting to a point where I feel good. I have been on the Depakote for a year and the Paxil for two. Before that I was on Zoloft and BuSpar. Nothing seems to work and I'm afraid of lithium... I'm constantly tired, out of it, dizzy, etc.... I wasn't like this before I was on meds.
Anyways, my first question is, does anyone know if weed, in the long run, is keeping me from my goal of getting my meds straightened out?
Second- am I alone with this habit of smoking pot to alleviate my moods?
