Trying Marijuana While on Prozac: Is it Safe?

i want to try smoking marjuana, but i’m scared with being on prozac that it will affect me very badly. so should i stop taking my prozac for a few days and try it? or is it fine if i have both in my system at the same time?

I'm on Zoloft for my anxiety and depression. The one down side is I have appetite and mood issues so I can't always pop another mood pill at work. Very pro 420 since it has the least amount of problems and actually solves a lot of my anxiety and mood problems. It's expensive and addicting but it helps.

No dont stop taking your prozac. From what I've read. Smoking on prozac can cause hypomania and it can increase or decrease the levels of prozac or any head head med your taking. I would call and ask your pharmacist if it's safe. They are super helpful and then you don't have to have a uncomfortable convo with your doctor. Marijuana affects everyone differently. Start with a super small amount at first. I used to smoke on the daily but, in the past few years it's become so strong that I can't even smoke a little without panicking for hours. It's become an unpleasant experience for me so I quit. I personally wouldn't recommend it unless you're able to purchase a low thc strain.
