Well, i had a kidney transplant on June 17th 2003... Just wondering if smokeing now and then (to keep me sane and not depressed) would be safe enough with all the medications i have to take...
MyCelex 10MG - For anti-fungal 3 times a day
Valcyte 900mg - For anti-viral 1 time a day
Septra ??mg - For anti-bacterial M-W-F 1 a day
Tenormin 25mg - for bloodpressure 2 times a day
adalat 60mg - for bloodpressure 2 times a day
clonidine 0.1mg - for bloodpressure 2 times a day
K-Phos ??mg - for phosphorus supliment 2 times a day
Mag tab 84mg - for magnesium supliment 2 times a day
pepcid 20mg - for anti-ulcer 2 times a day
prednisone 20mg - for anti-rejection 1 time a day
cellcept 1000mg - for anti-rejection 2 times a day
prograf 4 mg - fpr anti-rejection 2 times a day


can anyone tell me anything?

P.S. I NEED to smoke buds... to keep from going into severe depression... while in the hospital i didnt get any and by the time i got out... a few days later i was ready to die... i didnt want to deal with this sh|t n e more. till i smoked something.

with that list of medications, i would not recomend smoking marijuana. specially since marijuana raises your hearbeat and you have about 3 bloodpreasure medications?

i would recomend you talk to you doctor about it, that is the safest way, just be honest with him.

Syco, a little off topic but. I have had these pains on my back on my left side, just below the rib. It's like a sharp pain, had it all my life but when I was younger the doctors didn't know what it was.
The pain is almost paralysing at times. The only thing that seems to help is sleep. Also alcohol seems to trigger it.

Anyway before you had your kidney transplant did you experience anything like this?

Oh and to answer your question, well I agree with the above post, ask your doctor you don't want to risk it.

Smoking it? NO

Your medications include

MyCelex 10MG - For anti-fungal 3 times a day

Weed always even in the best of circumstances containes mold spores. Molds are fungi and your doctor specifically has you on an antifungal.

I would contact your local AIDS/HIV group and find out if they have a suggestion for you. Speak frankly, unless you are speaking from a hospital bed where you might "get in trouble" for acting on your own self interest. I believe that some vaporizers can offset the dangers of fungal prolems but I am not sure which ones and how effective. Thes folks would know.

Good luck, let us know how it goes and CONGRATULATIONS!

Now i'm smoke alot again YAY!!!!!... and still doing great. So if anyone else wanted to know the answer to my question... it seems to be ok to smoke the buds. Thanx all of you for replying.

Mamabudz

Glad to hear you are doing well!

Hope you did get a chance to speak with your docotr about this though...pretty serious stuff you are on there.

Perhaps we can brainstorme some ways to "get the parents out of the room to have a private chat eith the doctor"...Any ideas?

cookies for the best answers !

First of all, to anyone reading this posting with a similar question: YOU SHOULD NOT SMOKE WEED AFTER AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT. There is a significant risk of getting a fungal infection in your lungs from which you can die. If this pot head is alive and still reading this he needs to stop smoking. His level of immune suppressants was really high when he wrote this posting and I can't imagine smoking on such a high dose of immune suppressants. If you HAVE to get high, eat it instead. PERIOD. The high is not as good, but seriously it's your life and infection is the enemy. Infection and cancers are what shorten the life expectancy of transplant recipients. There is some to debate as to what pot does to the immune system, so be mindful of that at least. In any case you should not be smoking...anything. Take care.

Seriously, given your age your doctors should have spoken to you about the risks of smoking, rather than just telling you not to. I was counseled in private before my kidney transplant about drugs and sexual activity, and you should have been too. This was irresponsible on the part of your transplant center, and on your part as well for not doing more follow up research. If you get a severe infection you could die
or lose your kidney and then you would be on dialysis. If you had a preemptive transplant I recommend you take a look at the people in a dialysis center and see what a gift you have.
