In reply to Marinol or marijuana for depression, posted by Tomatheus on August 21, 2012, at 9:10:55
> I was wondering if anyone here with a depressive disorder has tried Marinol or marijuana for their condition. If you've tried Marinol and/or marijuana, what results did you notice as far as your depressive symptoms were concerned? Specifically, how did it affect your energy, thinking speed, and sleep? And if you've tried both Marinol and marijuana, how did the two drugs differ?
Hi Tomatheus,My response is a robust "no". But that's my personal experience. I never tried Marinol, but I smoked a lot of pot in my late teens and twenties and found that it eventually made me foggy, low-energy, paranoid (very!) and just all around down. In fact, it seemed to magnify and exacerbate anything negative that was going on in my head.
Since we're all different, I'm sure it's possible you'll have a different experience, but I just wanted to share mine.
