Mania Effects
Venlafaxine & Cannabis

DOSE:
100 mg oral Pharms - Venlafaxine (daily)
    repeated smoked Cannabis - High THC  
BODY WEIGHT: 107 lb
I've been on venlafaxine for quite some time due to depression. I was smoking Ice (85% sure, famous THC strain). I also suspect the weed had not properly dried, as it was slightly too wet.

Either way I suspect it mixed with my SNRI (Venlafaxine), it had serious mania effects including but not limited to: fear, paranoia, and etc. My heart rate never went too high however, and I happened to forget to take the antidepressant.

It wasn't fatal or anything, but my doctors have me on seroquel now to stop panic and anxiety attacks. I think it was just sheer volume of THC and my abandon for how it would affect my body.

I am not sure if I'll ever take THC again, especially not when combined with a powerful SNRI. Again: no heart rate failure, just high blood pressure, etc.

I'm still suffering panic attacks as I continue.
