[MEGA]Idiosyncratic/Unusual Responses to Cannabis

well what do you take it for? I was prescribed depakote 250-500mg from 2009 but im off it now been for awhile.

Its for migraine control, seizures and bi-polar symptoms. has it been happening EVERY time you smoke and while on the depakote? you shouldnt smoke then if your feeling unease and out of body stuff. If your taking it for seizures than maybe you shouldnt smoke if you feel like that.

I used to smoke tons and tons while taking it and i dont remember feeling that way.
 
i take it to help with mood. it happened when i was on lamictal too. its not doing much anyways i might jsut stop taking it. its weird. like sometimes yea i get uncomfortabel and paranoid when i smoke. but its only been when i took lamictal. and also now that ive been on depekene (valproic acid) same as depakote basically. that ive had that happen. at first im fine. but than all of a suddon ill feel detatched from my body. ill notice it. and i keep snapping myself out of it. or trying to. and it. goes on for awhile. like i was trying to make oatmeal. and liek i could barely do it bc i just dont feel like im part of my body.and than i start feeling really tense and like twitchy, than i feel like im gonna have a seizure. which ive had one once. from when i was taking lyrica and seroquel and tramadol. which both seroquel and tramadol raise the threshold for seizures. but lyrica is supposed to prevent them. i still had one.
 
and not every time. but idk if i was remembering to take the depekene before when i had a really good high. and last night i smoked and i was fine except i started twitching a bit than i was freaking out bc of it for like 15 minutes i kept getting a wave of fear through me. bc having a seizure was really scary. i feel like it has to be the meds.
 
well than if you want my 2cents on it dont smoke weed again. it cant be enjoyable if your feeling detachment of your body or waves of fear. which to me sounds like a slight nervousness or verge of panic attack. But you said you did have a seizure before and it felt like it, perhaps it would be wise to not smoke again because im not going to tell you to stop the meds.

Maybe you should let your Dr. know but thats up to you. When i was getting prescribed depakote for mood also and clonazepam for anxiety/panic my Dr. wasnt like "oh you use drugs no more clonazepam your abusing it!!!" blah blah i actually asked him if it was ok to smoke weed and take the pills he told me go right ahead 8) but if you still feel like smoking try using less than you smoked before and observe your feelings to it.
 
i smoekd a few times since i stopped taking it for a day. and i feel better. the med aint making a difference after a few months so i dont think i wanna take it anymore anyways. ill jsut stick with my celexa. jsut wanna see if anyone else has that problem with depakote. i cant find anything online. tho after the same incident with the lamictal i found ppl online saying problems with that and smoking. im pretty sure similar effects. both drugs are similar in the same class so it makes sense.
 
Well I wont tell you nor condone stopping your medication you should talk about it to your Dr., but i stopped my antideppressant(for anxiety/panic symptoms) and Depakote(hypomania) on my own. Only because when i stressed to him that i may be overmedicating and having bad effects as oppossed to good ones he told me to stick with it. so hell with that i studied tapering on those drugs and did it slowly. sometimes its better without them, like im still in work of getting off my klonopin but i fell WAY more better.

when smoking weed with those meds a combination of paxil, depakote and seroquel all in my system it felt like yeah i was getting high but i was dulling myself out and people noticed even i that i was more hyper not in a ADHD way but a Manic way in form of hypomania. if your stopping your meds do so with a Dr. permission and good reason then try to smoke again it might change a little.
 
yea i feel you. i know there wont be a difference without it. but yea if stopped celexa and other antidepressants before. i usually tapered off and was fne but ive jsut stopped before cuz i was broke and couldnt afford to go get it and it sucks. i get mad sick for like a week.
 
Does Marijuana effect ck levels? (muscle enzymes)

I'm currently in the hospital being monitored for having high levels of muscle enzymes in my blood. A normal level is around 300 and im over 3000. Having a level this high isn't so dangerous but if it gets higher it could lead to kidney failure. Increased ck levels are generally caused by trauma to muscles that can be caused to excessive working out, inflammation, or infection. My doctor is convinced my high level can be attributed to my marijuana use. I've been smoking almost every day for the last 6 or so years. Does any one have any information to support my doctors theory? I personally think shes full of shit but I also don't have a phd, and my biggest concern is that if shes focusing her diagnosis based off heavy marijuana use causing my problem she might be over looking the real problem. Can anyone forward me some info on this? Maybe some scholarly articles I can rub in her face. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
It is possible to get "too high", especially if you under/over-estimate your tolerance.

I took a 2 week break - hit up a huge bong pack after I decided to start up again, and it was just way too intense for my liking. =D It was still fun, but now I know not to dose so high. %)

Sometimes it's best to sick to a small one-hitter, or a conservative pack in a gravity bong. That way you aren't going to over-do it accidentally.

I have personally gotten down the art if packing and consuming bong rips, so I'm going to stick to that. :D
 
It actually makes me thankful that you will always walk away and be fine. no matter HOW MUCH you smoke or eat you CANNOT overdose on it.
you may of had the panic of your life at that moment or the most intense introspective experience you ever had but thats what it is an experience and no matter how extreme it is you will always walk away and it will be over and if you can pull through and make it fun and expanding good for you. other substances are not like that, you dose a little too much you may have to go to the hospital and not for no anxiety either some wont walk away so think about that. %)
 
Toooo high!!!!

ok everytime i smoke weed i get WAAAAAAAAAAY to high like ill take one or two hits off a j and be hella fuked up all day. everything looks like a cartoon i cant walk normal at all and i either am realy quite and get paranoid or annoy my friend by talking to much well not realy only sumtimes when i start saying <a particular, often misinterpreted, derogatory word> every other word and ramble. most of the time i make a funny storys though. but i no its not just cuz im new to it i use to smoke an ounce of dro everyday or an eigth when i was taking it easy. another thing is it gets WAY worse the worse the quality of the weed. and i no its not just in my head or anything im causing by thinking im high making me higher so any reason as to why? cuz i really dont wana have to stop smoking love daT cHroniC.

p.s. i no why i think all the time or talk all the when im high what i wana know is why i get so high so quick

Allergic to weed?

Hi.. this is partly questioning & asking everyone elses' opinions & partly for a discussion.
I've always been one of those people who takes a hit & then involuntarily coughs their lungs out.
No matter how hard I try to not cough, it still happens.
I vaguely remember my mother telling me that she never smoked much weed because she was allergic to it & she had asthma.
I don't have asthma & I've gotten used to always coughing.
I've spread my theory about possibly being allergic around & I've heard from various people that I'm not allergic if I don't have hives...
Well, I just recently got a decent full time job & have the money to afford to be high pretty much constantly..
In the past I've smoked occasionally.. whenever someone's offered to smoke me up or whenever I had extra money..
I've been high for the past 2 weeks straight now & the night before yesterday I noticed that my left arm was covered in little itchy white dots...
The next day the dots were slightly bigger & red & there's more of them in different places.
I've never had hives before in my life, but from descriptions I've heard about them I'd say I have them now.
It seems like since I first noticed them every time I smoke more pop up all over me..
There's no other thing that I'm doing differently that could be causing me to have an allergic reaction.
I'm still coughing excessively when I smoke.. no changes there.
Just wondering for everyone's opinions.. Do you think that it sounds like I'm allergic to weed?
Do you know anyone who is? Any stories to share? What should I do? Pop some Benadryl? Stop smoking? (not gonna happen).. Should I just keep smoking & hope that these hives go away? Should I smoke while continuously popping Benadryl? Or should I just cut down smoking? Any input would be appreciated thanks

Lemme preface with this: I used to be a huge stoner. I used to smoke at least once a week--I never smoked every day because I didn't want to be a complete burnout. After I had a bad interaction with alcohol and pot (read: hallucinated my brains out, vomited like crazy, passed out), I stopped smoking entirely. The occasional hit once a year, but never enough to get stoned. I'm almost 23, and the last time I actually smoked up was when I was 15.

A few nights ago, I took three hits off a blunt, and immediately, my pulse started racing, my chest got hot, my entire esophagus felt like it was on fire and undulating like a lava lamp, I had no idea where I was, who I was with, or which house was mine. That lasted for hours, and it scared the shit out of me.

Last night, I had a few hits off a pipe, and I was feeling slightly better, but still pulse racing and not sure where I was. I also got extremely hyper...amphetamine hyper. Couldn't stop moving my legs and I had the undying urge to climb a tree.

I honestly don't remember if I ever have gotten that stoned before. It scared me to death. I was beyond lightweight status, and if people weren't worried about me, they were annoyed by me (blabbing on and on about stupid shit, or long intervals of silence and giggling).

It seems like I'm the only person I know who gets "up" on weed, and I know I usually get a bit nauseous when I smoke. Is this normal, or is it a sign of an allergy/intolerance?

(also, side question: why do some people get really sick off of pot and booze, but others have a blast?)

'I used to be a huge stoner - smoked at least once a week" Thats the best laugh iv'e had in a while...
 
Unusual Side effects from smoking cannabis

Well it all started about a year and a half ago when i first tryed it. I had a kingskin rolled joint to myself and had all the euphoric effects of the usual first time user. Well in the morning i went home and was really tired slept for roughly 15 hours, woke up the next morning and still felt stoned then the folowing 2 weeks or so i felt really jet lagged and deppressed.

Anyway i decided to do it again, thinking that it was kinda normal considering it was a strong bud which i smoked. Next time i did it i was monging out for hours, got home threw up everywhere and went to sleep, when i woke up realised i had slept for 21 hours which was ridiculous, the next events shocked me abit. The folowing two weeks i was constantly tired manically deppressed and really paranoid kept thinking i had cancer ( I know haha i laugh at it too) and Alzeiheimers which is loss of memory since my memory was fucking rediculous, and i heard music playing 3 days out of the 8 off which i had this. All my friends when i told them found it hilairous but i was quite worried.

After it stopped i decided to go to the doctors had a seires of blood test, to find that there was nothing wrong and they concluded that my body just didnt like it, and i didnt settle for this answer as i like to know the reasons behind what was happening to me.I searched throughout google and didnt find any thing like this, only symptoms of jet lagged afterwards. I thought maybe i was really sensitive to the thc and that maybe smoking a bud with more cbd in may help, but i didnt have the choice of bud from where i live.

I stupidly tryed it again thinking i was sensitive to the thc, i took 3 pulls, and felt perfectly normal, but got home felt really ill and threw up and slept and had jet lag for the next day. Taking this in mind i decided not to try it again even though i really enjoyed it and waited a year until i tryed it again.

A year passed and i had a few pulls on a joint and to my shock i was fine, next i smoked more and gradually smoke more. But last month shocked me, i had about 5 ish joints over the evening and early morning, considering i had done much more previously, i thought id be fine but i woke up with exactly the same think as i had the first time without thinking i was dying and hearing music. I had really bad memory loss for the entire week then suddenly snapped back to normal and i was fine. All my friends wondered what was up with me the entire week and the describes me as depressive and quite which i was. I was wondering if anyone has had anything like this, ill continue to smoke it but respectively only having it in small amounts as im fine with it.

In my opinion i just think im really sensitive to the thc which is a good thing i suppose if i dont overdo it :) Thankyou for reading comments would be lovely
 
Merged. I wouldn't smoke weed if I were you; those effects are not normal, and sound pretty concerning. You wouldn't want to become mentally ill.
 
Hmm mentally though im sound, but i understand where you are coming from and i am debating not taking it again. Also there arent accounts of mental illness in my family so far and my mum and some other members of my family used to smoke it.
 
Sure, but hearing things for days afterwards is really quite concerning. It's your body and your choice, but please, be careful, and don't do anything silly <3
