Pot and anti-seizure meds

yup yup

hey Ivy, how did the cleaning go the other day ?

 

yeah boring reality sucks but at least I quit the DXM...for now

 

It went awesome, got everything done

 

what's brutal?

 

My life got tremendously better when I quit alcohol and drugs.

 

...there are lots of non-boring things that don't involve drugs. That is kind of a trap of a way to think.

 

true

it takes discipline though

 

I gotta finish getting ready and go out

I will write at you peopelz later hehe

 

its not boring reality its just "normal" reality.

not getting fucked up isn't any less amazing.

i would advise avoiding any drugs at all, really. to be perfectly honest, i think you need to sober up. not that i have that much room to talk, as i drink too much myself.

however, once you're off your meds, if you find you simply cannot help but seek out a way to inebriate yourself, cannabis will be among the safest ways of doing so. but i really advise against smoking anyway in your situation.

ephedrine can cause brain damage. DXM can be far more devastating though!

there is very little evidence to suggest there is any lasting alteration of the brain with "normal" use of cannabis. one study did recently come out from the university of melbourne, which suggests some structural damage to the hippocampus and the amygdala as a result of heavy, daily use of cannabis. with occasional and reasonable use, you don't likely have anything to worry about. its only hardcore "stoners" which will really suffer these effects - and this is still unproven, its just what the evidence from one study suggests. the sample group was rather small, only 15 individuals.

smoking a joint or two a week isnt likely to cause any significant brain damage. neither would having a bottle of wine once a week or something.

still, follow your doctors advice as well as you can.

but if you really really can't stand it anymore and you have to get "fucked up" then PLEASE just have a couple drinks or smoke a joint. DXM can cause some REALLY fucked up brain damage.

 

you have seizures? and you did DXM. wow. do you wanna turn your brain into spagghetti? I really think you should quit doing drugs.

 

mmm, spaggheti:drool5:

 

I'm on anti-seizure meds (not for seizures, though) and no one ever said anything about not smoking pot to me. What are you taking?

 

I have heard of epileptics smoking instead of taking seizure meds. The woman on the right is one of the founders for the wo/mens alliance for medical marijuana in santa cruz, ca. She says that she no longer has seizures and it changed her life in ways which caused her to be an activist.

But I dont know. I think you are using drugs for the wrong reasons, and you are using stupid drugs like DXM chronically. At age 35.

I think you need to learn how to live sober. With the mindset you have shown in your posts, its probably not even healthy to smoke the ganj.

 

I'm on Tegretol

 

oh

 

I have seizures, i just take klonopin for them now, i wont take my anticonvulsant meds (mostly because of the side effects, im a zombie) and i smoke, and it HELPS me. very much so, its been a couple months since ive had a seizure

 

1) do not do any more drugs, or you will disintegrate and turn into a pile of mash.
2) i am creative as fuck and have impeccable grammar.
3) i am going to go make spaghetti.

 

I love #3!!!

 

love it.

 

thanks for you'lls input
