What Are the Side Effects of Using Crystal Meth While Taking an SSRI and or Bi Polor Medication.?
Question by theresmychocolate: What are the side effects of using Crystal meth while taking an SSRI and or bi polor medication.?
First off I would just like to say I am a firm believer in not using drugs. This question is to further educate myself on the subject, because of history with family members and friends.
I have allot of people I know taking SSRI medication for depression, like Paxil; but they also take a medication used to treat bi polor disorder called lamictal, and another for paranoia( I don’t what that one is called.) Anyways my question is, what happens if while they are taking those they bring Crystal meth into the mix?
What are some of the risks and side effects. If anyone can let me know as soon as possible I would really appriciate it.
Oh ps.
Don’t do drugs not a good idea ^_^

I don’t know the side affects but I could imagine that its nothing good. Just the affect of meth are bad, specially if you are going into withdrawls. One of the side affects of meth is depression and if your friend is taking medicine for that it could turn into a very very bad thing. Also, your friend takes meth when he is in his low of the bipolar? or all the time?
Answer by llamaAndMe
People with bipolar illness are usually on a combination of mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. These medications have to be very fine tuned by a psychiatrist in order to work well.
Using meth or any illegal drug while on these medications is like playing with fire. There are huge risks of psychosis, severe manic/despressive episodes and even death.
The persons psychiatrist should be informed of illegal drug use.
Try and get this person into rehab asap. There are places that are “dual diagnosis” and help mental illness and drug issues together.
