Pot and anti-seizure meds

I can't smoke pot because I'm anti-seizure meds

hope to be off of them in 8 months

doctor said I shouldn't smoke pot even when I go off of them because the brain damage I did when I took a bunch of ephedrine the last year of the 5 years I was taking them ( 90 pills in the last 8 months )

I took them for energy but overtook them for energy and because I was being obsessive compulsive about the energy I got from them . Got weak feeling when they wore off

Anyone else facing this delima (sp)

 

I've never ever smoked pot.
I'm lame like that :blush5:

 

BTW, its dilemma

 

your neuro is probably lying to you.

 

Smoke pot anyway. Go on. All the cool kids are doing it (except Piaf).

 

pot would almost definitely be better for you than getting fucked up on DXM all the time. i mean, if you're only going to listen to your doctor when it is convenient to you, then you might as well not listen when he says not to smoke pot either.

 

Because she doesn't need pot to be cool ?

 

I did smoke pot with the meds and had a seizure

well at least that's what the nurse told me when I was in the emergency room for a horrible case of allergic itching

 

you have seizures, do you smoke pot?

 

Maybe you're allergic to allergies.

 

I'm a terrible speller

I did hear that creative people are bad spellers

I'm creative only to a certain degree

 

You ask about weed and not about DXM. I guarantee your doctor would say not to mix them(DXM and anti seizure meds). Only makes sense, plus when you tell them the truth about how many pills you take a day. It's a no brainer. I think marijuana is one of the least of your worries..

 

I heard that bad spellers are actually lazy

 

pot has anticonvulsant effects.

any anti convulsant can also cause seizures under the wrong circumstances, I have had seizures caused by zonegran, because it was a batch where the pharmokinetics were off.

I have a fuck lotta seizures, I smoked pot once, it was a really positive experience, but nothing I can establish statistics out of.

 

did you just smoke pot, or were you on DXM too?

i know it's not the same for everybody, but i have known a couple people who had seizures and still smoked lots of pot.



don't get me wrong; i'm not recommending you smoke pot or do any drugs. honestly i think sobriety is exactly what you need right now. but i don't think pot is as bad as you are thinking, and if you're still drinking a couple bottles of cough syrup a day, well pot is certainly a healthier substitute to that.

 

That was the implication

 

I heard that bad spellers are just bad spellers.

there is a point where it's not giving a shit, and there is a point where it's just fucking ridiculous.

 

I wasn't cool when I smoked pot and I'm not cool now. Makes no difference.

 

:cheers2:

 

I dont like the word "pot". I only use a pot when i make soup.
