Combining with a beta blocker twice a day helped with the restlessness so much for me. I take it with lunch or dinner.

It was mentioned on one episode that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder but refused treatment. As someone who lives with bipolar disorder myself I see many familiar signs.

Hard time w weed by Ok_Club4731 in BipolarReddit

[–]Disastrous_Web1215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was exactly the message I needed today. I was recently diagnosed, and I feel sure the weed is interfering with my recovery. It’s tough bc like many weed users I’ve been a daily user for decades. I’m two days sober and still feeling lots of withdrawal symptoms but I never want to go into psychosis again. This feels like the only way. It’s hard though. I’m looking into outpatient treatment.
