i have been on zoloft for about a year, and was wondering how bad the withdrawls would be. i have only been on 50mg so im not expecting it to be too severe. but if it is then would using marijuana through the withdrawl symptoms be a help? cause it helps with pain and nausea irritability and depression it also calms me? i use to smoke a while back but quit and i thought that a few weeks couldnt hurt.

It would be better to withdraw the Zoloft gradually and not use another drug to try and balance things out, otherwise you will potentially be replacing one problem with another...;

why would you want to swap one addiction for another and yes pot is addictive if used for long periods of time and like other forms of addiction there is not meds that will help you over come it . dont do it .. talk to your doctor and he will be able to help you overcome this.. the doctors dont want you to be addicted to anything they are there to help you not hurt you .. good luck

honestly.. yes..
thats how i cured mine..
and im perfectly fine now..
because of zoloft, i has strong suicidal feelings. and even attempted to commit.. plenty of times..
so i smoked.. and it made me feel better.. and now, i quit smoking.. and i'm perfectly fine..
so all i can tell you..
is that.. if you try it, and it works, go for it..
its much better to be lit..than to be depressed..
marijuana is a medicine.. a natural cure.. dont let anyone tell you otherwise..

It's best to talk this over with your doctor.

perhaps you should consult your doctor about being weened off - or even if you are ready to be weened off? let alone using pot as a substitute..... good luck!
