Dear Everyone
Hi all I need some help.
My story started with feeling sad, awful, I feel like a victimizer , and sometimes just worthless. Then I begin by smoking ganja alone. I would think a lot about my problems and tried to solve it. I lost a lot of friends after it. After smoking soo much b4 bed and in the morning usually the next day I would feel like a superman. The world seems wonderful, I loved the sunrise, the clouds, and everything. I started calling people to hangout it's amazing. I would talk soo much just being happy silly goose. but....a week later

I got prescribed by my therapist/ psychiatrist. On taking the 100mg Bupropion 1 in the morning and 1 at noon. I have also been taking Trazodone every night b4 sleep to help my Anxiety problems. I'm not taking these drugs religiously because I'm afraid I might turn in to a nut. This is when I felt a change I become more quite.. I'm not sure if i like this or not. Oh and is it really works.?

thanks all.

If you don't take your medications like you are supposed to, then they aren't going to work. You are nuts to begin with because you were smoking drugs and that's what made you have the artificial feeling you did....the bad part about smoking stuff is that there is always a time when you are going to come down off it and it's never nice to feel the normalities of life, so you have to keep doing it and become addicted. Not only that, you've lost friends too.

You should mention your drug usage to your doctor to make sure there are no harmful side effects for smoking and taking your meds at the same time. All in all, you need to drop the smoking.

If you post in the addiction recovery section, I'm sure there will be people there to help you out with this as well.

"Ditto" on mominashoe. Between both of them, that may be causing this reaction.
