[MEGA]Combinations of cannabis with other drugs

re: pot and lexapro

Moderator please move this.

Thanks for the info everyone.

So I'm at no risk for Serotonin syndrome at all or being harmed at all because of the herb and SSRI?
 
Doxylamine and Cannabis.

Would mixing these two add a certain type of synergy?
I assume that the Doxylamine would add to the sedation of the weed high, and I also assume it would add on to the body high.

Any opinions?
 
I'm not talking about taking like a thousand milligrams or anything. I'm talking about taking 20mg Doxylamine and then smoking a joint or two.
 
Are you in Australia? That's usually where Dox/Codeine comes in combination. I'm in Vancouver so I just went to the pharmacy and asked for pure Doxylamine and they gave me 20 pills of 20mg.
 
i think you are right....

hey likim
few years ago I had a (I think) a conservative spontaneous pneumothorax which didn't need any hospitalization but rest and peace for a couple of months. As a result I had a big bomb on my left side (under the arms) and after going to the dotor they diagnostic me with an allergic attack (????). Before that episode I alredy noticed that I had repiratory problems when using marijuana so I thought that the allergy came from the weed and decided to quit weed and went on only smoking hash and cigarretes. Last week started smoking weed again and as a result I had a second primary pneumotorax. This time hospitalization and chest tube where needed. I explain all these facts to my doctors who think that has nothing to do with it but seriously I think they are wrong: every time I smoke weed my respiratory system feels it (not with hash).
I would really apreciate if you could share your findings with me and I hope my story helped you with something

there is a thread in AusDD about bong smokers getting collapsed lungs.
seems common.

thread is titled "warning for mature bong smokers" or similar
 
I know men who do have collapsed lungs and they did smoke tobacco daily for decades, smoked Cannabis either multiple times daily or very frequently like just weekends from joints/pipes/bongs for decades, and had either smoked meth or had used meth by railing it either on just short few day binges or on weekend binges, and have snorted a fair amount of coke over their lifetime.

In their case it happened when they were young and in their late 20s, early 30s or maybe a bit older. These guys are thin and said how they'd met lots of other thin men who have had collapsed lungs before.

I did a simple search for Peneumothorax on google and it said this:

Certain activities may lead to a collapsed lung. These include scuba diving, smoking marijuana or cigarettes, high altitude hiking, and flying.

Tall, thin people are more likely to get a collapsed lung.

I found this here.

Additionally, a primary spontaneous pneumothorax may occur while smoking marijuana, after a deep inhalation, followed by slow breathing out against partially closed lips that forces the smoke deeper into the lungs. But most commonly, blebs rupture for no obvious reason.

Here's the thread from AusDD.

I'm not a doctor but would Vaporization be better than smoking herb if you don't want to get a collapsed lung? Or should you just avoid vaping/smoking altogether or just not do them in excess?

I'm asking since I'm thin and I've smoked herb on/off for about 10 years and I only vaporize now and except for one month in the summer I never really smoked herb daily. I tobacco smoked on/off socially for a few years cigarettes and cigars and I currently don't use any at all and haven't for years. I do however exercise and do cardiovascular exercise.

The best way to avoid a collapsed lung while smoking marijuana is to take reasonable sized hits. When the smoke is cooled (or chilled) as in a bong (with ice), it will condense. As it is warmed by the lungs, it will expand. The lungs can withstand an overpressurization of .3 to .5 atm, or 30%-50% of the atmospheric pressure at sea level. If you take moderate hits, you'll more than likely never experience a problem. Neither will you cough nearly as much. And you'll get just as high smoking the same amount over a few more hits.
 
Thanks to all of you for the provided information!!!!!!!!

After hospitalization I also have been doing some research and now everything makes sense: I'm tall and thin and yes when i smoke pot I ususally take deep and long hits....

Since bong, vaporizaton, pipes etc... aren't for me, I just have to decide: :( quit or get fat =D

Cheers!
 
This makes me want to never rip a tube ever again. I've always wondered if forcing to much smoked into your lungs could really cause serious damage or not.

What if you ripped a hit of vapor? I've seen pics and videos where people connect their vaporizer up to a bong.

I'm sure that vapor isn't good for your lungs or respiratory system either but it's got to be better than lots of smoke.
 
Probably coincidental. Spontaneous pneumothoraces aren't all that uncommon, particularly in young men. Though ofc any smoking (particularly from a bong) isn't advisable in people with a history of it.
 
Bump...

When I was on Lex and Wellbutrin, my weed smoking experience was much less anxious/paranoid and I was able to venture deeper into the trippy headspace without fear of losing my mind (which is what I normally get). The combination also tended to enhance the euphoria of weed. A good combo IME.

I have been on citalopram for about a year, which is extremely similar. I smoke pot everyday, everything seems to be fine. However, I also agree with Roger and Outta Pocket --- weed can cause some anxiety. How much you can smoke depends on you and the quality of pot you get...I would take a hit or two, wait 20 minutes and see how you feel, and gauge it that way if you want to best avoid anxiety with pot.

one of my friends has been on citalopram for 4 years, and just quit last week, and is using the weed to help with the withdrawl symptoms, he also seems to have had a huge drop in tolerance,
 
There really is no risk mixing pot with anything lol but Im on 30mg lexapro and I smoke all the time and its fine

Alcohol is a different story though be careful with that
