I can honestly say that I was on pharmaceuticals since I was 10 for my bipolar disorder. I have been on so many different types of medications. Almost all of them made me feel horrible. The last one that I was on before I just quit taking pharmaceuticals was lithium. I was curious and I looked it up and apparently it could attack the kidneys. I went to my therapist I told him that I did not want to be on it anymore because I felt disrespected because I was born with one kidney and he knew about that when I first started going to him. Since then I've been taking cannabis ever since. And it helps so much more than actual pharmaceuticals in my opinion for me.
It’s the only thing that makes me feel better but my toxic wife thinks I just need to party and tells me to “just behave” I’m hanging on by a thread because I haven’t self medicated in a month because I moved away and can’t get any I really hope I make it through because the thoughts of self harm are creeping in
@@kiomarily I respect that, however, and it's big however, it radically changes as you get older. Don't take my word for it, research actually unbiased studies. Habitual use of smoke inhaled weed screws with your neurotransmitters BAD. Read up on it and the effects of maybe 20 years of use. It also effects you genetically via your DNA and Chromosomes. It has it's analgesic properties, but DEFINITELY should not be used to treat mental illness, especially in combination with other psychotropics or reuptake inhibitors.
I'm feeling really confused, I don't have these anxiety attacks and soooo feeling down mood when I use cannabis but when I don't it gets scary like my brain is a laundry machine, I don't know if I'm abusing it or not most of the times recently, I would be really appreciated if someone can help or share their experiences
I was diagnosed bipolar II in my home country Brazil and started treatment with Lithium over there, but my treatment was denied and interrupted by the NHS in the UK where I currently live (it seems like they avoid prescribing any drugs that needs blood test or monitoring due to costs). I could ship the drug from Brazil but still I won't be able to have blood tests regularly. I considered trying cannabis oil as it is my only available resource now.
This is terrible! Lithium is on the list of essential medicines. I would encourage you to find out the costs of testing and paying directly if possible. If only testing for lithium levels it should be fairly cheap if you only do it annually. See if you can't find testing in a neighboring country if that's not possible in the UK. Also lithium can be cheap here in the States with a 90 day supply costing as low as $12. I really do encourage you to look into this further. The battle to get medication is not always easily won.
@@tylersoto7465 That is lithium orate which is different from prescription lithium carbonate. From what I've briefly read, I would not recommend lithium orate unless you are desperate.
Absolute horse rubbish mate. Ive had an offical diagnosis for 14 years. Was an alcoholic and drug addict, i can tell you klnow for free that cannabis works for about a week and then you feel like shit

Please get help don't harm yourself
@@Shirley-annLaas made it through God bless your soul and thank you 🙏🏽 ❤️✊🏽🙏🏽
Get on lithium and lamotrigine
@@flyer3455 you get on that trash it’s a suicide mission taking any of that psych medicine
How much did the industry pay?
😂
Exactly
You sound silly
Agreed. Pot just makes them worse when they can't get it
EXACTLY!
This video is inaccurate. I have BP2 and I absolutely GUARANTEE everyone that it makes mood swings much WORSE, and far more intense.
THANK YOU FOR TELLING YOUR TRUTH! IT DOES THE VERY SAME THING TO MY HUSBAND! We are falling apart because of his abuse of pot/ self medication.
Perhaps in accurate for you. It’s not a one size fits all situation.
Not for me.

Wow. You actually sound open minded. That sounds refreshing.

You know you can just buy lithium supplements from a vitamin store or online

@alicec.6195 você conseguiu usar cbd pra bipolaridade se sim está se sentindo melhor?
Good deal.
So canabis is good for bipolar???
No..not at all
I would say yes if you're wanting to go manic psychotic, otherwise not so much.
@@CuriousCattery I think only edibles do that I smoke weed and I be fine
It depends from person to person.
