Anxiety and Stress Answer A4108
In your case it is likely there are 3 possible disorders mixed: depression, anxiety, and marijuana withdrawal symptoms. You can continue taking Prozac, try a psychotherapy course, and keep away from marijuana. Marijuana can’t cause anxiety or depression but can make those conditions worse because of the addiction. Depression and anxiety make the person more susceptible for taking drugs and becoming addicted.
