I've been dealing with PTSD & depression for the last few months. The last couple of weeks were especially difficult. I just started Sertraline (generic for Zoloft) and occasionally take anti anxiety pills as needed. In the last couple of weeks (2 to 3 weeks) I have had really bad upper back and shoulder pains, my stomach is in knots and I can rarely eat anything without feeling bloated or sick and my sleeping is completely erratic. I also have severe asthma and that has also gotten worse in the last couple of weeks. I believe everything is stress related and I have been considering consuming (I can’t smoke) brownies or fudge or some other method so that I don’t have to take sleeping pills and pain pills -- I’m worried of becoming a pill popper. I know no one BUT a physician can officially recommend anything medical wise. But with the drugs and symptoms I listed could using marijuana be an alternative for sleeping pills and pain pills?
