husband sometimes will smoke a little pot. He takes these medications...abilify, lamictal, lithium and seroquel. Just needing info on the effects. He actually has been sober for three years...he has no desire for it..A miracle from God! He says he feels better when he can have a little at home after work, I am worried about the serious damages. Again, he does not smoke every night... I do not smoke, never liked it at all. any info is helpful!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things.

Sorry.
I never had any problems with pot + lithium or pot + seroquel or pot + klonopin.

I know the nice relaxing feeling a hit will give you, and I miss it after work sometimes, too. I notice he is not on a benzo- if he's edgy and agitated after work, a very small dose benzo might give him that comfortable relaxing feeling he's looking for (obviously, taken under doctors guidance...?)
Also, does he have a good relationship with his pdoc? With a good one, you should be able to be honest about that type of thing, and get a true, honest assessment.
