I was on lots of medication. Zyprexa, trazadone, depakote, lithium, etc. Now I am on three medications in low doses. Neurontin, Effexor and Bupropion. The last week I been off the Effexor because of the cost. I use maybe a quarter...

i have been on atleast 30 medications since i was a child. all the sacrifices it had taken to adjust to, and adjust the, medications has been too much. at least with mj you can control when you need it and how much you need. I mean, you...

its too bad peaceful easy feelings are hard to come by w BP. you need peace to end the stress. the illness is stressful. what you need is a medicine that makes you feel good, and heals you. For me, that drug is marijuana.

My case manager says that schizoaffective and bipolar have very similar symptoms is that true?

Other than the times when my inner mood-o-meter, for lack of a better word, naturally balances itself (which is rare), the only other time I feel "normal" or "stable" is when I'm high. I'm able to feel calm without being depressed...

My life has been one, long turbulent journey alongside bipolar. I was officially diagnosed 2 and a half yrs ago, though I only truly accepted my illness in the last few months. I think that with bipolar, science really doesnt have the...

I discover this site last week. I had stopped my bipolar meds for three weeks and I was feeling kind of depressed. I gained 12 kilos on my meds and i was frustrated. I started marijuana and two days later I was full of life, I was in...

Hi,
I have mild bi-polar and want to start using marijuana to control its symptoms.  I prefer it because it is natural.

It's interesting to me how many people there are in the world who are so incredibly anti-marijuana. Marijuana is a mild medicine, cleaner and more natural than any pharmaceutical drug. It's side effects are minimal compared to...

My diagnosis is Bipolar mixed NOS more leaning towards type 1 (rapid cycles and manic episodes). It feels as if I have been bipolar my whole life (which technically I suppose I have been). Started with social workers and trileptol at...

I started using mj at about 13-14 just as I was experiencing my first real episodes of depression and mood swings. It became a 'go to' thing in the mornings. I'd show up at the bus stop 10 minutes early so I could smoke before anyone...
