So has anyone found a good book or journal article that talks about the effects of smoking marijuana while on effexor? I would like to know more.
I have smoked for a while and enjoy it to unwind, but recently had my first anxiety attack, which lasted for 4 days. I went to my doctor who prescribed a sedative and effexor. After about 4 days, I smoked and had another attack that lasted a few hours.
It's now been a month, and I'm still on the effexor (and limited sedative), but would rather smoke that take the effexor. I never smoke while working and it never impacted my productivity (I work about 65 hours a week and am very productive). And to be honest, I'm less productive and athletic on the drugs I'm on now. But the anxiety attack was the worst feeling! And I couldn't work at all.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
