Sal!
Sorry, I had to speak up here...This guy is asking about marijuana.
NOT Ecstasy! combined with Zoloft.What is all this mountain of citations on E.?
A confused,
WendyPS: To Sean:
I think, from actual experience using Zoloft and mj, that everybody's mileage will vary.
As when you smoke mj alone, the mood you're in
when you do it has everything to do with how you
feel afterwards. If I'm cranky, it gets heightened,
if I'm relatively happy, it makes me euphoric, etc.
When you're on Zoloft at the same time, and the
Zoloft is working, it can be a very nice
experience. The one side-effect on Zoloft I had was
weight-gain (30 lbs after 3 1/2 yrs!), so if you're
prone to the munchies, take it easy. I would say:
limit mj use to weekends... And don't let comments
or diatribes like SalArmy's scare you. It seems all
sorts of psych-prescribed, FDA-approved meds and
pills are A-O-K for them, but when it comes to an
ancient herb that's been smoked for millennia, THAT
substance should be illegal and banned and so on...> Ecstasy is safe for your girlfriend, if you deny the mountain of evidence that proves that Ecstasy causes depression:
