not sure

I have been having a few nights of not sleeping and some nightmares. I am on a med called zyprexa to help with my racing thoughts at night that turn into nightmares. I have been doing really well and I smoke all threw x-mass and new years. I wonder if smoking fucked up my meds or may be its nothing. What do you think? I mean I was doing fine. Or maybe it just a couple of bad nights. I think next time I smoke I should cut out smoking at nights so my meds can do it’s job

 

well normally for me, smoking at night tends to make me not dream not dream at all. in fact dreams are pretty rare for me when ever im smoking daily at all. when i was on my brake about a week ago my dreaming was back up to normal, and this always seems to be the case for me. as for you since these dreams just started recently and you were smoking two weeks ago then i wouldnt assume weed is playing a role? probably just a few bad nights

 

^ same, people always talk about getting nice dreams while high, but i never get any. at least if i do i can't remember them at all

 

I am not saying I got bad dreams when I was high I was fine then I started smoking and the bad dreams came in

 

That's what my meds are for to help with my bad dreams

 

Maybe you should actually confront your problem(s) than trying to fix them with drugs.

 

I am not trying to fix them with drugs. I wanted to smoke not to fix my problems. That’s what my meds are for

"meds" are not going to fix the underlying problem thats causing the nightmares. Sometimes dreams mean nothing, and mostly they mean ALOT.

 

Do did you read what I wrote? My meds are helping me. I smoked and then after I stoped I started to have some bad dreams. I was wondering if smoking fucked up my meds that were working

 

he did, his point is that the meds, or any other drugs, won't actually cure your problem, just temporarily reduce them

 

Sure if your goal is to be a zombie Olanzapine will do wonders.


Marijuana opens the mind, what you're taking does the complete opposite, of course its going to effect it.



EDIT: Sorry if i'm coming off as an asshole, but how they hand out these types of drugs like candy pisses me off.

 

It’s not making me a zombie it helps me with my panic attacks and sleeping. Again I was just wondering about when I smoked. Just wanted other people's thoughts

 

But some people need to be on meds like me. I have some serious problems if I didn't then I would not be on meds in they first place

 

nobody els has any thoughts?

 

Quit taking pills, the doctors are piles of bullshit your "illnesses" are all made up.

 

Ask your doctor if smoking will interfere with the meds, he is the one that would know, not a bunch of stoners with no professional medical training.

 

I know that when I used to smoke everyday for like 3 months before bed, it would become so hard to fall asleep without getting high. Used to get really really hot and I'd have nightmares.

You just gotta deal with them until you can start falling asleep normally again.

 

I do fall asleep fine, when I wake up in they morning I have a nerves stomach and wake up in a some what panic attack, cause of something I dreamed

 

I agree with that, but she would see that a substance abuse. So I am not about to open can of worms
