I smoked for 5 years. almost everyday. I would use it for everything too from insomnia to anxiety. When I quit, a lot of things health wise came back to me.
My dreams came back. I am now not tired and don't pass out during the day because I am blown. I workout now and am happy about my life my situation.
Marijuana is good to medicate but moderation is whats key. Everyday is too much considering what your going thru with school and trying to concentrate on your fixing your depression. Weed IS causing a lot of that tension and anxiety you have, seriously. I know its super hard to quit but im not sure that a prescription drug could help you not do drugs per say, they can just change your attitude.
The first few weeks I was on my SSRI I lost the urge to smoke which was odd, it helped me quit and that wasn't my plan at all. I just didn't want to smoke, I was happy and didn't need to be stoned to get me more happy.
If you are serious about quitting weed then you need to get rid of the temptation its simple as that. Get rid of a bong if you got one, delete some phone numbers, don't be around it or anything. weed will be their in a few years if you still want it but hold off on it until you graduate, find out your plans for college or not, and get a job.
Im sure that if I did not quit I would have been like my friends and not graduated. They kept smoking and got lazy the end of school and now don't do shit all day but smoke and collect food stamps. Losers.
SSRI did help me quit weed in a since that it made me not want to smoke. It didnt supplement the feeling of being high. It just made me think that my life is more important then weed right now, and that weed wasn't worth my time. Kind of confusing but it just changed my whole outlook on my future and made me realize that I was revolving my life around a plant.
I think for you. 18 years old a SSRI would be much better than some benzo anxiety medication. I got my SSRI beginning of Senior year, just 10mg super small pill, but it worked.
You just need to tell the doctor super seriously that you need to turn your life back strait and the depression you have right now is not working for you, that the drugs you have taken have put you in a depressed hole you want out of and you just need that pick me up.
Depression. I don't know how bad you have it, but it sounds like you can fix this right now.
The Anxiety goes hand in hand with Depression. The SSRI will take care of any anxiety and stress you have about anything. It gave me the "I can conquer the world" attitude that I never had before.
Since you probally dont have a history of depression your doc would probally give you the bottom of the line SSRI, like mine. Celexa, the weakest of all anit-depressants. Just somthin to take the edge off of the day while your having a hard time in life right now.
Dont go strait ask him for 40mg of Welbutrin or something like Paxil. Let him tell you about SSRIs, ask some questions on whats best for your age and situation. tell him you did some research and you know how they work on correcting depression.
Im no doctor myself obviously, It just sounds like your going thru the same thing I did.
-drop the weed
-drop all drugs and start filling your time so your not bored
-Doctor appt. ASAP and dont leave that office without the SSRI script, you deserve it.
-Depression is what your dealing with
-Your anxious because your depressed about not knowing whats happening in your life right now. You dont know if you will succeed or if you can quit drugs, a hundred different things running thru your head everyday about your future, and it probally makes your nervous also, that is what makes you have Anxiety.
You got this, SSRI take that bitch for a few weeks and stop smoking pot. And you will do just fine in the near future.
I am glad I can give you a little info about your situation.
It is what I did to fix it, and if you do it you'll succeed for sure.
Hope it helped
Good Luck
Dont give up
