Do antidepressants affect the effects of marijuana?

Question

Would Lexapro have effects on weed like it does with alcohol?

Answer 1

It could possibly since THC messes with your brain chemisty. However, THC is not known to have harmful reactions to any drugs (medication or otherwise.)

In case you didn't know. THC is the most potent chemical in marijuana that gives you the "high" feeling.

Answer 2

I don't know. I'm sure alcohol would be worse.

I do know antidepressants make me feel stupid though.  

Answer 3

u dont need weed!!!

Answer 4

Weed is perfectly benign (safe) and never caused cancer or death. It also doesn't interact harmfully with drugs. Please you people get educated or marijuana.

Answer 5

Yes, they do. But I don't know the effects of Lex and alcohol. I just know that  your synaptic signals are altered by the med, and then THC gets added into the equation. Shooting from the hip, it should be a calmer more enjoyable high, provided you are not having any adverse reactions to the med. If you are, look out! You could go NUTS.

Answer 6

Lexapro is a treatment for depression,it inhibits the reuptake of seratonin in the nervous system.We all know the effects of weed,it comes down to a cumalitive drug effect.1+1=2,but mixing these two it is 1+1=4.It makes the desired effect of both drugs combined stronger than they were alone

Answer 7

drugs are not the way to solve your problems

Answer 8

No marijuana is pretty safe mixing with most drugs its not encouraged but  alcohol is much worse. The only effects i know of are from antipsychotic medication like risperdone, Thorazine, haladol etc. they get rid of some of the hallucinogenic effects and sometimes it feels like its "Impossible" to get high.
