Hi:
I have NO idea/clue whether the marajuana and WB goes well or not. However, the WB has some 'stimulant' efficacy along with anti-depressant property.One thing you need to be cautious about this med., WB is to make sure, ... you have NO 'seizure tendency.' If you have 'Epilepsy' predisposition in your family, ... even way back to the Grandparents', then you must stop the WB immediately and to call the pdoc. for an alternative med.
Besides this, you sound like asking about its side-effects, ... in my case, in the beginning of WB tx., I had a dry-mouth, some 'muscularskeletal' problems around the jaw and limbs. However, those S.E.s went away with time. Probably, it took from three to four months to dissipate. Then, if you get those problems, you need to adjust your life-style a bit, like drinking a lot of liquid to ease out the dryness in the mouth or even chewing a gum to produce more saliva in your mouth. Also, you need to adjust its dosage according your situation. A starting dosage is around 100-150 mg. a day, in my experience, although most of pdocs. rx'ed around 300 mg. Then, you have to go 'slow' to reach its dosage, if you are on the higher dosage, the 300 mg. WB. It took about three to four months for me to accomplish the rx'ed dosage, the 300 mg. which is 'recommended' dosage.
Other than that, I had NO prominent S.E.s from taking the WB sr. It's one of 'best' meds. which giving me 'concentration,' 'motivation' along with some 'good' anti-dep. efficacy.Good Luck on the WB tx.
H.G.
