> well I don't know if I can really be of any help to you, but as someone who smoked marijuana everyday for over a year I'll say that it definitely helped me with my anxiety ongoing, but NOW I find (and by the way I take effexor, seroquel and just stopped klonopin prior to the seroquel) that if I smoke marijuana it inevitably makes me anxious- it's nice while you're high, but makes me sort of panicky/irritable in the days following. I can't figure it, but it may have something to do with the disconnected feeling I experience. I'm sure someone here will have some insight into it, and I'll be glad to read it as well. I wish your son well. :-)

I feel like I know so many of you guys because I have been reading this board for 12 mths now!!! Your encouragement and support of each other astounds me. Thankyou so much for replying. I got such a feeling of happiness when I saw people had responded!

My son also is irritable the next day particularly just before he begins at 5pm (he's edgy to be around and with the depression back he is prone to agitation) which I guess is the MJ need knocking at the door! He says his OCD has locked onto the habit and I know he is torn between trying to stop and see if his medications are working without it and his fear that if they are not he will drink again.
How did you cut back on your usage? was it the medications working that enabled you to break the daily habit?
