MY MEDS~
~10 MG Lexapro- taken in a.m. *For Depression & Anxiety, possible PTSD
~25 MG Lamotrigine (Lamictal)- taken at night (just started the Lamotrigine regimen on Oct.4, 2011. After 2 wks on one tablet per night, dosage will be upped to two tablets per night.

NO, it doesn't cause me any anxiety or depression or make me "Paranoid". NO, I don't have a Problem with it. I've quit/ stopped for many days/weeks, many times. It is something I happen to Enjoy partaking in. Some people enjoy liquor. I enjoy Pot.

Hey there Laurie. Good Monday morning. cuppa? Have a good one, and stay of the weed. Ha! (just kidding)

Thanks Laurie. You also. Take care and the danish are delicious, love em. Have a good one friend.
hey laurieshay, did you get to read my latest post about a trip to the er last nite for a panic attack that was out of controll
Hey helpmehawaii,
I haven't read your latest post about the ER yet, but I will look for it and respond.
Laurie
Hey attempting, and good day to you. I'm concerned about Taurine in the energy drinks. It's acting against the Xanax. The relaxation drinks are great. When your anti-anxiety meds just aren't enough, the Sleepytime can be a great help, and in the amount you're getting won't hurt you. No judgement on the weed--just letting you know it makes me psychotic then drains my energy for days, so maybe watch your reaction to it. Lamictil is a "mood stabilizer", the new term for anti-psychotic, but its often used off-label to increase the action of anti-depressants. I don't know what kind of interaction it may have with weed, especially if its stronger or cut with something else.
Best to you,
