What are the exact prescriptions you are on. I have taken medicine for those same conditions my whole life (have tried many and new drugs). Which ones are you taking? Then we can tell you if it will be an upper or downer effect.
I took Adderal, Prozac, Depakote XR and Ambian and was smoking a lot a couple months ago and it was fine. Just dont smoke when your especially sad unless you do something fun or happy!
In all reality weed can't ever really hurt you. Its suprisingly pretty damn safe, but I would suggest a vaporizer so you can smoke clean without the toxins going to your lungs!
Good Luck!
(i cant smoke at the moment so please smoke a bowl in my honor!)

Smoking is injurious to health
Weed is not a performance enhancing drug. Quit smoking weed, and you will be better off.
Trust me. I used to smoke a lot of pot. Now I don't.

I would suggest to ditch the meds and seek any sort of therapeutic help with the problems you have. medicine to me is just masking the real problem. get to the root of it all. marijuana is just a downer/relaxer, and may not be the best with any sort of depression. Just don't smoke too much ;)
yes, although you might feel relief at first you will also feel the bad effects like paranoia, anxiety, and your depression could increase.
Marijuana has been shown to relieve symptoms of depression. However, a result of overuse (abuse) has been shown to cause an increase in anxiety. It would depend on what meds you are taking. However, compared to most prescription medication, weed is a fairly harmless substance.
Yes it is very bad to mix the two. Either be on one or the other. Weed would only be a temporary fix though, unless you have a very steady supply and it is legal in your state.
Pot is very dangerous for people who suffer from anxiety and mood disorders and can lead to schizophrenia. Avoid at all costs if you value your mental health.
I have GAD and take Paxil (20 mg.). It works very well, along with Gabapentin at night (500 mg). If I smoke pot I get very anxious and it is horrible. I have been on the meds for 5 years and have felt much better than previous, although I must say that the first 2 or 3 weeks on the Paxil was dreadful until the side effects wore off. I found if I ate small meals frequently I felt better.
