In reply to serzone and smoking pot, posted by Randy on August 11, 2000, at 21:12:47
Smoking funny tobaco along with serzone will not kill you if that is what you are worried about.
But, it will lessen the effects of the serzone for two reasons. First, smoking of any kind decreases blood levels of antidepressants, therebye lessening the effects of the AD. Second, once the pot wares off, specific chemicals in your brain decrease, some of these are associated with depression.
If you still want to smoke up you will have to almost double your serzone dosage to get the same effects. Also, the day after you smoke pot you will become more depressed.
So if you want to smoke pot go nuts. Just remember that smoking cannot better your depression.
Last semester, I took a class called "Effective Presentation Skills". A girl in the class who was chronic, gave a speech on the harmless effects of smoking pot. Throughout her speech, I could not help but laugh. She was trying to tell the class that smoking marijuana can better your life. I guess she was forgeting that marijuana can become addictive, it can lead to other things, and that it worsens mental health (especially somone who is depressed).
If you do not believe me then ask your pdoc about smoking pot and he will tell you pretty much the same thing.
