Help me

I am 17 years old and I have been taking Zoloft for about 5 years. I have been taking 200mg of Zoloft for 2 years straight out of the 5 years of taking Zoloft. I smoke marihuana everyday/night. I've been using marihuana for 5 years also. I finally found a doc that saw my problems and wanted to help get me better. He put me on Celexa. I was taking 200mg of Zoloft then went down to 150mg if Zoloft and 10mg of Celexa. I've made it down to 100mg of Zoloft and 20mg of Celexa. I've been on 100mg with 20mg Celexa for 4 days. I am a heavy marihuana smoker. Everyday. My extreme concern is what do I do!?!?!! I'm dizzy, exhausted, lost my appetite, and am really scared that I'm slowly killing myself. I'm 17 years old and I've been through way to much in my life witch is why I guess I started smoking weed. Please, I need a doctor, I'm so scared, I just want to feel normal. Help me please.

I agree with Lisa, you need to be honest with your doctor, or ANY doctor you feel comfortable with.  Obviously mixing all these meds with the pot is making you ill. ...please tell a doctor the truth so they can really help you.  Please keep posting...

hello and welcome. i am  glad you found us. I am sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. are you seeing your doctor regularly and making him aware of your symptoms?

it is important that you stay hydrated, you have to eat even small amounts of light food, broths, crackers, yogurts, soups, fruit, smoothies, puddings, apple sauce, toast.

why are you so scared hun? is it because of how you are feeling from the Zoloft withdrawal?
do you have a therapist, psychologist, a trusted adult, pastor that you can speak with? it is important to share and not isolate yourself.
we are good listener if you want to share with us.
many people have started using drugs, beginning with marijuana to help with emotional pains, wounds and scars.

there is always hope...
keep the faith...
sending prayers,
Debbie

Hi there.
I take an anti-depressant since I started my detox from pain meds. Were you honest with your doctor about your use of pot? And does he or she know about the other antidepressant that you are taking? You need to be honest with the doctor if you are going to get the help you need. If this doctor is not someone you feel comfortable with, enough to be honest, you need to ask your family or friends who they see, and get really honest with a doctor. Believe me, they have heard it all. My little local doc has dealt with junkies, alchys, and my dumb *** and has been instrumental in my recovery.
I was never much of a pot smoker, it always made me paranoid so I never liked it. I'm sure others here can give you there experience.
Keep coming back!
