Marijuana and Bipolar

AngeloinPitt · 04-17-2009, 08:49 PM

I've been studying the effects of marijuana when used to minimize the nightmare of being Bipolar. I was diagnosed 24 years ago and I drastically exemplify every symptom. I am a severe case. I've lost relationships, money, jobs, pro baseball career, much stuff etc as a direct result of not being able to create stability in my life for any reasonable length of time. I've been on every combination of psychotropics and the side effects are a pain in the ass. Either I can't piss or can't piss straight or can't get a hard-on or have no sexual desire or can't get off once I'm rollin or I sleep around the clock or I can't feel normal emotions or I fly off the handle or I can't sleep or I gain weght like a cow etc etc etc....after all this time I've arrived at a drug called Lamictal and most of these side effects are gone, but I'm now up to 400mg a day and I'm just a milder version of my screwed up, paranoid obsessive self. I can feel absolutely no joy about any aspect of life. I am a recovering crack addict(clean)...there's a good mix, crack and bipolar, huh....life sucks for the most part. I haven't smoked weed but a few times over the last 20 years except here and there. The last time I smoked it was 10 months ago and the feeling overwhelmed me from a clinical aspect. I actually smiled and laughed, I enjoyed a TV show, I actually listened to the guy that was speaking to me while we smoked and experienced some empathy instead of socio-pathic tendencies, I tasted food and I frickin' slept that night...for the first time in years I felt a sense of well being that no prescribed drug ever gave me. My brother OD'd and died not long ago and the depression has hit new levels. I've contemplated making the big move and ending it myself with suicide, but my conscience will not allow it as I see it as the ultimate form of selfishness..."so" this brings me to the point that I must decide to heal thy self...marijuana has all the elements of any other drug which is legal and has been used for years for eye disease, cancer etc well, I'm a sick man and I want to feel good...I can't see living out my life as an ameba...I'm getting some tonight, think of me later because there's a good chance this guy might just have a good night, finally! Love from da'burgh !
