yes....but you will have moderate sedation and cloud thinking....its really not that bad if its lorazepam .5mg....buspar works on serotonin but its not really noticable in some people.
I hate to say use weed.....but if you have to....it will give sedation and mental clouding...maybe some temporary pleasant calmness...
that's just my 2cents....don't know much about this combination.....weed isnt for me....i used to take redbulls with methamphetamine....
be safe...

I'd have to say probably best adoided if your mental state is suchthat you need lorazepam and buspirione - pot can cause paranoia, anxiety etc.
Better not to mix them i think.

How long have you been taking it for? It can take 4 weeks or so to realy kick in.
If it hasnt kicked in after 4 weeks, can i suggest trying hydroxyzine (Atarax) 50mg 3 times a day, this is non habit forming and can be very effective

I've smoked pot for 42 years, I've been on meds for 30. I've done it on over 70 meds and hundreds of combo's and never had a problem. I was honest with all of my doctors and not one said, you have to stop. Sometimes they would say that the meds may work better without it. In my experience it was the only relief I could get from the meds. I never drank on meds and wouldn't.
My pot smoking now is just social, I don't keep it at home.
People, especially young people, have drastically different experiences from what I read. Anything from panic attacks to full blown crazy. That was never my experience or the experience of the thousands of people I got high with.
I was always aware. If I was at a party and didn't like the people, I left. Smoking around a bunch of idiots didn't interest me.
Set and setting can be important if you're prone to freaking out.
I won't say yes, do it and I won't say no. But being clean is always the best way to live. Personally, I just liked a little weed now and then.

If you google buspar and pot there are many real world examples out there of people that have done it and how it worked out.

I'm not really sure that this is an appropriate discussion for this forum. I'd feel more comfortable if this was on bluelight or something. I don't think Dr. Bob is going to be very happy (hopefully he's still on vacation.)
Anyway, the following link should tell you everything you need to know:

>Since when are drug/drug interactions not an appropriate discussion on a med board?? Some states you can even get a prescription of marijuana for anxiety, depression, etc. People with severe anxiety/depression are often on a combination of therapies. I think its a great question. herpills

drew-
i live in california and actually got a prescription for mj to treat my depression/anxiety.
have no clue how it would work w/the drug you are asking about.
but, i do know i lowered my klonopin usage while i trialed the mj and slept better.
in my research the key i found is 'less is more' and the strain is very important as well.
unfortunately it didn't work for me. though my pdoc had no problem with me trying it. shoot, i tried ect. i'm thinking a mild strain of weed can't be worse.
by the way, psychiatry is split down the middle about mj for depression/anxiety. a big no for other mental conditions.
good luck.
john
ps i'll look to see if i can find my thread...
