Mrs Thomas, Please don't do this to yourself. First of all pot is illegal but I'm sure you don't need to hear that from someone who has't used it but the point is I love you and care about you as a Christian and I will put you on our prayer line. I take zoloft and ambiem, they work well together. I recently got off of buspar which I had taken for fifteen years. I don't have a personal history of mental illness episode except ones I can identify myself that don't show much outwardly. I had a son, Tony, who had a nervous breakdown three years ago at the age of 25 and he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and manic depression. His death was attributed to liver failure due to a psyhogenic drug called clozaril. He went through everthing imaginable but this medicine did help him have a fairly normal life for nine months he too it. He didn't have a desire to go out and use all kinds of illicit drugs but it did make him gain 75#. It shouldn't have taken his life but at least I know he's at peace with the Lord and he's not suffering anymore. Please try to get some help and live a long happy life. I know what it's like to deal with this, my dad and brother were and are schizophrenic and my other brother has drank as long as I can remember and he is 52. I don't know how he has lived this long. I see this [schiz.]happening in my little nephew and he is only five but at least he is getting help. I've live this all my life so believe me I know where your coming from. I have another son who has gotten very spaced out on pot and no one can convince me that it could be used as a medicine for this purpose because when he gets off of it he is pretty well alright. He is a quiet person anyway but the pot makes him hullicinate. Once he left without a word to anyone and we found him in Los Vegas 2000 miles away. He had no idea why he didn't tell us where he was going, he is 24 and now he won't work or take part in any family function. He will prosper and so will you. Remember I love you and I want to know how you are getting along. Linda
