[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 333266, member: 1514"] Reading your post at first I was somewhat leery as were some of the other posters about the pot usage. Now, I really am in no position to say anything because my son smokes pot too and it isnt legal here at all. I really wish we had medical marijuana because I think it does help him more than anything he ever took. However, he also has problems that cause him not to be able to work. Some of them are due to his bipolar disorder but the majority of them now are his physical disabilities. His body is breaking down on him. I really think that if anxiety is your sons major problem the seroquel would be helping him not hurting him. Pot could be exaggerating the problem. One time when I didnt have insurance friends told me that pot would help my pain and my bipolar so I tried it. OMG...I was so freaking out! I was in such a bad way. My pain was magnified and I was so paranoid. And yes, I smoked it back in the 70s. This was a whole different experience. I would never be able to function on it now. There could be something else entirely going on. To be so steeped in anxiety that he cant function is probably something that needs more than just seroquel and pot. He probably needs a very good therapist too. Maybe then he can work through all this and not need medication at all. [/QUOTE]
