Cari,
This is why they say, "Your mileage may vary..."
A long, long time ago, when I smoked pot, it CAUSED anxiety in me. I mean, EXTREME ANXIETY. It is the very last thing I'd do if I wanted to relax. It had exactly the opposite effect on my husband, however, but neither of us have smoked in years.
Strangely enough, I have been taking the "dreaded" Buspar (10 mg, 3x a day) for about five weeks and I have no side effects whatsoever. At first, I thought it was a placebo. Now, I actually think it's working.
There are many different chemical reasons why you may suffer depression or anxiety, including Noa's favorite, your THYROID. No one drug works for everyone and a drug is not inherently "bad" because it doesn't work for you. If that thinking were true, I would personally try to put a complete ban on both Prozac and Serzone - I would rather be tortured than take either of them again.
