@OP
Marijuana is a dangerous and highly addictive narcotic substance, so no.

I do. What side effects are you worried about?

If you know so much about it, why are you asking questions here? And of course it's a narcotic.

its a psychoactive not a narcotic

will it interfere with the antidepressant like alcohol?

yes, ssri's are only dangerous with stuff like, dph, mdma, etc.

> ssri's with alcohol

dont know, probably not, play it safe.

weed doesn't really interact badly with a lot of stuff, ive found out it only interacts with some stuff and with other things not at all.

Ive heard that It can. I dont tend to drink alcohol, and so I can't offer you any insight into that.

every doc i've had, first thing i've told them, "i smoke pot," and so far they've not even flinched. they just don't care, it's like, "oh? okay."
but when i was on SSRI's it was good i told him because he encouraged me to not drink or smoke pot while on SSRIs, he said it could be bad. Turns out i ignored his advice, and it ended up being bad because i drank and smoked and it ended up causing me to have all kinds of negative symptoms, the worst were basically psychosis, i went all paranoid and started acting real crazy. Then when i got off of them i kept drinking and smoking and was fine.

So, it's best to ask your doctor about it, just tell them what you're into, they can't do anything about it and at best they'll not prescribe you shit that'll make you go insane. or they'll give you the correct advice so you can at least make an informed choice.

i'd ignore everything anyone says except your doctor. And if you can't talk to him about it, then you need to find a new doctor that you CAN talk to about your substance use.

I consume marijuana and take venlafaxine ER. The day after consuming pot I might feel foggy in the head and a little down, but not nearly as wrecked as a day after consuming any alcohol.

I take Effexor XR and drink and smoke without any negative effects. Interestingly, the MDMA crash is actually a lot better.
