Question by Nevershoutnever: Can you smoke weed on this drug?
So, I used to do all sorts of drugs I lexapro (adderall, vikadin, OxyContin) I really only expirimented with them, and I of course continued to smoke weed on it. Anyway, it ****** me up big time. I’m off the lexapro, stopped expirimenting with pills, but still smoke weed, and starting to drink now. Today I’m starting trazodone, and I wondering if it’s safe to smoke marijuana on it? I know I shouldn’t do drugs, but I’m very dependent on them. It seems like being on an antidepressant doesn’t help me enough, but maybe trazodone will. Has it helped you people? d: (btw, trazodone is meant to treat anxiety, insomnia, depression)
Maybe I do have a problem, but I’m fourteen. I can’t just go to any rehab place..

Question by sypher88: So I just got out of drug rehab, and was recently prescribed xanax.?
I was recently in drug rehab from June 1st, until July 5th for opiate addiction. I have been attending AA/NA meetings twice a day since my discharge from rehabilitation.

I have been having extreme anxiety and went to the doctor. I told her I was a recovering drug addict, but she still recommended i take xanax over buspar (the non addictive anti anxiety agent). Xanax has been the ONLY drug that works for my anxiety. I was originally prescribed this before going to rehab, and they took it away from me. Is it wrong that I take this medication if its the only drug ive tried that works?

I also have tried : zoloft, welbutrin, paxil, buspar, and many more.

Best answer:

Answer by BlackBerry Addict
I would suggest listening to you’re doctor because she seems to know what agrees with you, although you don’t wanna become addicted to xanax now that you have just recovered from a different addiction, if you really have such anxiety i would just say to take the xanax but in moderation.
