Hi Farmer,

Go for indica dominant strains and don't harvest until you see amber trichomes.
If you grow some potent couchlock material, you can dial back to one or two hits for relaxation and calm.
Indica dominant strains also lend themselves to making good hash also.

Im in the same boat as you bro. I have clinical depression, bipolar, anxiety agrophobia ( panic in public places)

I've found that a small amount of anything helps but if u suffer from anxiety and panic regularly u need to b careful as one small amounts potency will differ to anothers.

I've found lemon haze to help with anxiety and depression. I literally put a very small amount in with a bit of tobacco to help burn the sticky thing. First 10 mins nothing...then the dry mouth then the psychotic symptoms of my illness magnified, I kept my head screwed tight and the episode passed... for the next 3 hours i felt uplifted and giggled for the first time in 7 years. Wife was like wdf?

so yeah, lemon haze... too much of anything will trigger anxiety in me.

Ive also stopped all my carrier bag of psychotic medications they made me put on 20kg in 8 months. Since stopping 2 months ago Ive lost 15 kg.

Hope this helps, Im kind of self medicated lol

 

[Wait what?]

Hatha yoga got me off klonopin, weed helps, but man, yoga is the stuff

also cloneazepam works better than diazepam. But i say fuck these drugs where the makers are making money.

Meditation and weed in controlled amounts, dont stress urself out and take it slowly. I had panic attacks stepping out of my door and now I use public transport and go work since july this year. The only things I've done differently is meditate, self medicate, and tell myself I can do this.

 

[faded187]

wow that's the opposite of me. lemon haze is a little too much sativa for me... BUT if its all I got its better than nothing,,ask anyone who knows me.....they b like DONT LET HIM RUN OUT.lol

def indica as greybear said,
im in the same boat, im on ssri meds that they want me on for good.
i find indica works best but i cant get rid of it, I rarely ever left my house for almost 3 years now and im tired of this feeling. but i find the best thing to do when testing a new strain is to go where i feel the most anxiety etc, so I go to the mall and try to do shopping calm and if i can do that then it passes the test.

Im putting my money on med gom 1 or any other cbd strain from cbd crew. I just havnt got enough meds to make the complete switch from ssri to cbd yet but I have a friend in the background who is going to help me with meds so its all good in the end just need patience.

i like sativas to but i feel like im smoking meth more than weed

good luck bro

Hi Farmer, sorry to hear about your medical issues. Indica dominant varieties are what you want to be looking for. If you are already growing some sativa dominant strains allowing them to go longer will also help tone down their tendency to make your condition worse.

Stone Dragon which was developed by folks here and available from RCMC is very flexible in it's effect depending on when you harvest it. For daytime use you will need to experiment a bit to find how long to allow it to go so that it helps with your issues without creating too much of a couch lock effect.

Good luck

I can't help you out on strains but you may wish to speak to your doctor about changing from diazepam to lorazepam. The latter, although chemically very similar, is the more commonly prescribed BZ for short term PAD (Panic Anxiety Disorder) treatment as it is much more effective. I am not a medical professional but know my way around meds. Speak to your doctor ...

I have had PAD since 1987, have led support groups, and have learned to live (happily) with it so don't be shy about pm-ing me if I can help in any way.
