Hello thanks for asking from HCM
You have depression and are taking mirtazapine for that. You also smoke marijuana. Marijuana is cannabis and the drug is known to produce lack of motivation or amotivational syndrome. This result in worsening of depressive symptoms. As per my opinion you should avoid using marijuana along with mirtazapine. Cannabis and smoking will also alter the metabolism of mirtazapine.
Consult your psychiatrist if symptoms persist.
Thanks, hope this helps you.
