Question : What are side- effect possibilities of marijuana use when combined with psychotropic medications, eg Cogentin, Prolyxin etc?
Brief Answer:
Serious side effects can occur.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Combining psychotropic drugs with cannabis can lead to serious side effects.
Cognitin is is a brand name cognitive stimulant called ginkgo biloba, this is a kind of plant extract and it does not have any addictive effects when used with cannabis.
Do not combine cannabis with psychiatric drugs like prolyxin. Cannabis adds up its sedative effects to the psychotropic drug and thus cause side effects like impaired attention and memory and increase risk of psychotic symptoms.
When cannabis combined with antidepressants it can cause tachycardia (increased heart rate) and elevated blood pressure.
Finally, since alcohol has potentially dangerous depressant effects on our central nervous system, caution should be used when consumed in combination with cannabis. Even with moderate quantities, these effects are amplified and can be unpredictable.
So I would suggest you that do not ever combine cannabis with other psychology drugs.
Hope I have answered your query .
Wishing you good health.
