Bipolar and marijuana

[1900116]

I've been smoking marijuana for about 5 years. I've been diagnosed bipolar for about 2 years. I recently had a really bad reaction to pot. REALLY bad. I almost killed myself, screamed at my friends, and vomited for 2 days. No one else that smoked it had a bad reaction. I haven't had a medication change recently. I'm on lamictal, seroquel, wellbutrin, cymbalta, and adderall. I don't know what happened. It wasn't laced or else everyone would have gotten sick. My meds haven't changed so they should not have reacted differently. Everyone that smoked it said that it was awesome pot. I've always been really sensitive to it and have always gotten high really easily. Could it just be that I couldn't tolerate the potency? I've stopped smoking for the time being. I want to be able to smoke again but I don't want to get high and have this happen again and end up killing myself. Does anyone have suggestions, explanations, reactions, or anything?

I am BP too and always had mixed reactions to pot - it would make me feel like you just said and sometimes it would make me feel good.  I don't think it is a good idea because it can infer with you other meds.  I also am on seroquel at night - i hate it though - once my baby is born i will go back to lamictal and neurtion.
Don't add to your emtional trouble by smoking - I know I have been BP since I was 23 and now I am 32 - my bp is very bad

Pot is a mood enhancer and being a BP it's not a good idea....
