Been smoking up for about 2 years, but I have been taking the SSRI fluoxetine (one dose of 20mg a day) for about a week now, I've felt pretty much the same besides being a little less easily agitated, and experiencing some daytime sleepiness/drowsiness for the first three days.
The last time I smoked was over a week before my first dose, but the weekend's coming up and I'd still like to spend it getting high with my partner…
Anyway I've done some reading and come across mild cautionary tales although there are also a lot of first-hand accounts of tokers who are taking SSRIs with no ill effects, really the worst thing I've heard is that you might feel anxious and jittery (referred to as hypomania), but that can happen when JUST smoking weed anyway. I know how safe weed is in general, and my doctor knows I smoke and didn't mention anything when prescribing me the meds.
But I'm still a little concerned since weed affects serotonin levels and I'm taking a medication that also affects it, despite thinking that the worst thing that could possibly happen is… well, I end up over-thinking it WHILE I'm getting high, and then I get overly anxious, and turn the high into a mild panic episode. At least I believe that's the worst case scenario…
So SSRI + WEED experiences/stories, advice…? I'd appreciate it!

50mg zoloft + weed/hash here
Never had any problems but I have quite a high tolerance, wouldn't recommand it though. I'm trying to get off these pills/get my shit together before I ever smoke again.
Wish me luck :)

I was on fluoxetine a while back and smoked a lot during it.
I felt that the weed dulled me a lot more and didn't really work as well when I used both. I stopped for a while until I got my anxiety problems worked out and smoking was a lot better when not on the meds.
If you have anxiety, take one or the other. I found that floxetine helped a lot more than weed on curbing depression/anxiety, but do what you think you should do.

I've been taking SSRI's with weed for over 10 years, never had a problem.
