Q: I Need Some Advice Please
asked by: ricketh on October 5th, 2007

Hi everybody.
Recently I've been diagnosed with having sciatica. It is the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I've been pescribed Diazepam, Diclofenac and some pain killers which i can't remember the name of them and they're in the car and I'm not walking all the way outside for the box!
I was wondering, I've been smoking weed as pain relief and it really REALLY helps me. Is it still safe to smoke weed with these drugs in my body? I've never thought about it up untill now.
thanks all in advance.

Its probably a bad combination and the different chemicals being mixed could cause a bad reation. But I used to do all sorts of things with weed and nothing ever happened to me before. Just try not to do everything at one time. Try to switch off if possible.

Weed is an illegal drug.

That said, you could look to any rock star and see that a lot of people are taking narcotics and mixing them with pot.

But is that really who you want to compare yourself to, drug addicted people?

No it isn't. But that is like comparing how much America pollutes the air with how much, say, China pollutes the air. BOTH countries pollute the air.

Same thing with drugs. Cigars aren't as bad as crystal meth, but that doesn't mean they aren't bad.

Sciatia is a real pain....literally. When it comes on there isn't a lot you can do but wait it out until it eases up a bit. I know putting my affected leg up helps some. Sometimes soaking in a hot bath works too.

I wouldn't mix the pain killers and weed, seriously you may have an adverse reaction. Diazepam is a downer and so is marijuana. You say smoking weed helps your symptoms so do that and don't take the other meds.

I hope you are feeling better soon

Sciatica
First of all, quit smoking weed. It is an excuse to say it takes care of the pain. You are addicted and have too many problems to add another substance to it. Just take the diazepam and pain killers as needed. I am not familiar with the other drug. I have MS and have been told that weed would take away my pain and my doctor who is a specialitst with MS said that was an excuse for someone to do drugs. I believe you can conquor anything if you listen to your doctor and only take prescribed medicine as needed as you do not want to get addicted to them either. Good luck.
