> Guys, I'm quite concerned about this. This is how i reached this page. I'm under psych. treatment, taking 150mg of Zoloft, I don't know how much Rivotril and someother medication. I'm smoking pot daily, inhaling cocaine once or twice a week, and even tried inhaling heroin this last weeks. I'm not that much of a drinker, but I do drink (not until geting druk) every weekend. I've felt no side effects, or maybe I haven't noticed them. I read something about a desease that can be caused by mixing drugs with Zoloft.

Hi...I wish I had more specific info for you, but you may want to search the web, if possible. I think much of your fear is from all of the "scare" tactics and crap used by the antidrug industry, but I would have a bit of concern about the coke and zoloft mix...but that is just ME. One of my drug reference books says it isn't a good mix, but doesn't get into it further. There are others on this board I know of who have dealt with a similar issue.

I use pot on and off with antidepressants, and many else who do, with no problem. I don't know about the heroin, but haven't heard any major drug-crossover concerns with it, but, you should find a very knowledgeable person to talk to. (Can you not mention anything to your family doc? As far as I know, in this case, they are bound by confidentiality. Even so, they usually seem quite good about these things. If you want some help at all with your non-script drug use, there are good docs out there to help. But, it doesn't mean you *must* quit..it is your choice. Considering smoking cigarettes is likely more dangerous in the long run, I hope that adds a bit of perspective.

BTW...what dose of Zoloft are you on, and how long have you been on it for? I would say at the very least, do a few things. Try and not ingest everything at once...spread it out. Your system may be able to handle it a bit easier.

Sorry I can't help more...I am sure there are others on here to offer their own experiences. If you develop any probs, like heart or breathing problems, heck anything really out-of-the-ordinary, goto an emergency room as quick as you can. Try not to increase the doses, or stop suddenly. I'd say the best thing is, you are not much of a drinker of booze!

Best wishes,
Jay
