I recently found out i'm bipolar... among other things and i started taking seroquel. When I was on low doses weed didn't cause much of a problem but now that i'm up to 200mg if i smoke weed it's pretty much an instant panic attack. in theory you'd think the thought of getting a panic attack would help me quit but it isn't. so now my doses are only getting higher and the panic attacks are getting worse but i still am having troubles making myself quit. ahhhhhhh. how do you do it???!!!

i'm kind of in the same boat as you... i take seroquel, only 900mg and i smoke daily. sometimes when i smoke, i'm relaxed, but the majority of the time, the second i smoke, the anxiety and panic set in. and yes, you'd think that would make me quit because who wants to feel that way??? its not fun!! but i can't stop... but then again, i am a recovering addict... it could be my addictive personality, i don't know...sux.

Seroquel=bad.....I've heard too many bad stories about that stuff. Maybe be honest with your doc, see if he can get you on something different.

You have got to try and get onto something else, or quit, The fact is that just because you are taking Seroquel doesn't mean that quitting is any easier (wish it did.) You simply have to try, every time you feel the need to smoke, speak to someone who understands, quitting is always one joint at a time.

I smoke too and also take that drug, lower dose tho just started it and now dr want to ween me off, but always wondered what the pot was doing to the mind with the other drugs. I know that it does more harm than good. I know I'm hurting myself but I still do it to. I say it mellows me out, and it does, but I feel it make my moods even swing more, wether it now or later when something irritates me. keep strong!

I quit with www.ma-online.org and www.marijuana-anoymous.org You are not alone!
I too got paranoid and continued to smoke, it's unpredictable when we smoke, each plant is different, our circumstances are different, sometimes if affects me WRONG yet I couldn't stop. Glad to be weed free now, just for today. We quit one day at a time. WE do it, it is not supposed to be done in isolation, but as part of a community. Good luck :)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
