Need some help, ideas, anything.

[SNR]

I found yet another note on the ground, and I again decided to write it down here.

I am diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Panic disorder.

Kind of unorganized info here, but here we go.
All of these problems I believe have come from marijuana use, as all other drug use has stopped. I plan to stop smoking marijuana as well.

• Significant Cognitive Impairment'
• Mild Psychedlia including

>Colors blending together
>Objects in peripherals morphing and breathing
>Occasional "Sparks" or lights in visual field

• Very bad depersonalization and derealization
• Depression worsening

I was planning to put this thread in advanced discussion, but decided against it. I realize the most common reply will be "stop smoking marijuana". I already am doing that. However, I simply wanted to know some ideas on WHY this is happening. EndoCB system malfunctioning, etc. Anything. Also, I need help. I just need this to stop. Is this permanent?

well sounds to me like you are experiencing the effects of too much serotonin. Not sure how to lower it down but it may be worth a shot.

What, if any, other medications are you taking?

Perhaps, read below.

What, if any, other medications are you taking?

Sertraline, been titrating up to 75mg, and mirtazapine, tapering down from 45mg down to 7.5 over 5 weeks.

Why both?

Mirtazapine was to augment sertraline (Antagonism of adrenergic and serotonergic autoreceptors to promote monoamine release in VA and other pleasure areas of the brain) and to block some of the general side effects of an SSRI (Blocking 5-HT receptors associated with negatives) and to fix my diminished appetite and insomnia.
