> I've been on lithium 1200mg for a while now for mild cyclothemia and social anxiety.....recently smoked marijuana for the first time in years and it definitly wasn't how I remembered it. My mind basically turned to molasses for a few hours, it was HORRIBLE. Not too mention intense anxiety, paranoia, nothing I ever had when I used to be a smoker.

I have no idea why this would happen, but perhaps the lesson here is never to combine an illegal subtance with a psych med. It's just asking for trouble, cause you never know how the combo will effect you. Several years ago, I tried pot (the one and only time) and I ended up having the weirdest nightmare I've ever had. It was almost as if I could see clearly into my soul. Hyper-lucid is how I would describe it.

It tripped me up for months afterwards and took a while for me to recover.

So do yourself (as well as those around you) a favor: combining illegal, mind altering substances with a legal psychotropic med is just asking for trouble. So why do that to yourself?
