I Need Some Advice Please Posted: 10-05-07 16:21pm
Hi everybody.
Recently I've been diagnosed with having
sciatica. It is the most painful thing
I've ever experienced. I've been pescribed
Diazepam, Diclofenac and some pain killers
which i can't remember the name of them
and they're in the car and I'm not walking
all the way outside for the box!
I was wondering, I've been smoking weed as
pain relief and it really REALLY helps me.
Is it still safe to smoke weed with these
drugs in my body? I've never thought about
it up untill now.
thanks all in advance.

Its probably a bad combination and the
different chemicals being mixed could
cause a bad reation. But I used to do all
sorts of things with weed and nothing ever
happened to me before. Just try not to do
everything at one time. Try to switch off
if possible.

Weed is an illegal drug.
That said, you could look to any rock star
and see that a lot of people are taking
narcotics and mixing them with pot.
But is that really who you want to compare
yourself to, drug addicted people?

No it isn't. But that is like comparing
how much America pollutes the air with how
much, say, China pollutes the air. BOTH
countries pollute the air.
Same thing with drugs. Cigars aren't as
bad as crystal meth, but that doesn't mean
they aren't bad.

Sciatia is a real pain....literally. When
it comes on there isn't a lot you can do
but wait it out until it eases up a bit.
I know putting my affected leg up helps
some. Sometimes soaking in a hot bath
works too.
I wouldn't mix the pain killers and weed,
seriously you may have an adverse
reaction. Diazepam is a downer and so is
marijuana. You say smoking weed helps
your symptoms so do that and don't take
the other meds.
I hope you are feeling better soon

First of all, quit smoking weed. It is an
excuse to say it takes care of the pain.
You are addicted and have too many
problems to add another substance to it.
Just take the diazepam and pain killers as
needed. I am not familiar with the other
drug. I have MS and have been told that
weed would take away my pain and my doctor
who is a specialitst with MS said that was
an excuse for someone to do drugs. I
believe you can conquor anything if you
listen to your doctor and only take
prescribed medicine as needed as you do
not want to get addicted to them either.
Good luck.
