Yes, you are in danger.
First, you are in legal danger. If law enforcement catches you, you could be facing criminal charges for drug possession.
From smoking pot, you are in danger of developing smoking related diseases like lung cancer, emphysema, and throat cancer.
From cocaine, you are in danger of causing damage to your nose and sinuses, and you could be causing damage to your heart and cardiovascular system.
Both pot and cocaine can worsen depression, in different ways, and also taking those street drugs could interfere with Zoloft.
Does you pdoc know that you are using pot and cocaine? Maybe if you talk about why it is difficult for you to quit, he can add other meds to take care of those symptoms in a medically safe, legal way.
> Hey guys, here's my prob. I think I'm over using drugs like cocaine and pot, while i'm on a really hard treatment with zoloft, I'm using 200mg. But, It seems like I can't quit the other drugs, because I feel really tired and wired without them... am I in real danger? What do you sugest me to do?
