Hi Hash and others,
This is a really good discussion. The Zoloft thing I can comment on, I was on it for 4 yrs. If you find it fogging your brain, talk to your dr and switch. I wouldn't suggest effor to anybody, but that's my own opinion, from my own experience. Wellbutrin seems to be doing the trick for my depression...As for the pot, I smoke a fair amount too (this thread might be our own version of a 'Par-tay!'). I use it as a stimulant. It really gets me going, and I can actually get things done, especially housework. Just makes me feel like cleaning, somehow. Also, on the occasional nights I go out, I do it then too... It does amplify whatever you're feeling, though, so if you're down, Hash, you might just be going on a permanent downer. Try stopping the pot, like every othr night, and see how you feel then. Since the THC stays in your system for awhile, you might not notice it till you cut back even more. I know it's hard when you really enjoy getting high...
What Nikki says is true, you gotta get out there! Hard to do when you're on a down cycle, I know. Clubs and sports are cool, but it's the end of the school year, so it might not be possible right away. Maybe in September. Otherwise, the work idea is great, it's such a good way to make friends. Even adults! They're often cool...
Good luck, I really feel for what you're going through,
Wendy

> Hash... 15 is pretty young to start a smoking habit... I don't wanrt to sound preachy in any way, cos I smoked occasionally at that age, but keep it fun and occasional, not every night... Other wise it might stop being fun ya know... And once something stops being fun, thats it...

> Wish I could help make friends for you.. Its so hard, and something I find hard too... are there any clubs you can join (sporting or computer or whatever) that might give you extra interaction with other kids.. or maybe a little job for some extra cash- I always made friends in my jobs outside school...
> Good luck
