I take 100mg of Zoloft a night and 23mg of Desyrel (trazodone) per night. Would marijuana use cause a bad reaction to my body? Could I overdose on marijuana with the medicine? I’m not planning on mixing the Zoloft and Desyrel with marijuana. I just need to know if there will be adverse side effects.
Marijuana has not been shown to cause adverse reactions with most medications.. This is from what research has actually been done, however because marijuana is considered illegal by the federal government there isn’t much research going on (if any).
Some local non profit organizations in states that have legalized medical marijuana (such as Oregon, California and Washington) will do their own research and have patients keep track of side effects with their medications as well as other factors like level of medicinal benefit for their specific medical problem.
I personally have used Zoloft, Trazodone and marijuana together and *I* did not have any adverse reaction. I haven’t had any reactions between marijuana and any other prescription at this point.
Do be mindful of the fact that you are taking prescription medications that alter your brain chemistry… that is what they are designed to do. You are also using marijuana which will alter your neurotransmitter levels. Your effect will be different with the prescriptions alone than with marijuana most likely. In my experience (taking prescription psychotropic medications for the last 14 years myself) the marijuana helps regulate my mood far better than any of the prescription medications I’ve taken. In 14 years I have taken most of them.
Keep in mind that I am not a medical professional and this is just in my own experience.

This should not replace the advice of a doctor and/or pharmacist (the latter tend to be a good source of info on this type of thing), but here is a link to a tool to check interactions.

And here is what it says about the combination:
” fluoxetine and trazodone (Major Drug-Drug)
MONITOR CLOSELY: Concomitant use of agents with serotonergic activity such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, 5-HT1 receptor agonists, ergot alkaloids, lithium, St. John’s wort, phenylpiperidine opioids, dextromethorphan, and 5-hydroxytryptophan may potentiate the risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5-HT1A receptors.
MANAGEMENT: In general, the concomitant use of multiple serotonergic agents should be avoided if possible, or otherwise approached with caution if potential benefit is deemed to outweigh the risk. Close monitoring is recommended for signs and symptoms of excessive serotonergic activity such as CNS irritability, altered consciousness, confusion, myoclonus, ataxia, abdominal cramping, hyperpyrexia, shivering, pupillary dilation, diaphoresis, hypertension, and tachycardia. Particular caution is advised when increasing the dosages of these agents. The potential risk of serotonin syndrome should be considered even when administering one serotonergic agent following discontinuation of another, as some agents may demonstrate a prolonged elimination half-life. For example, a 5-week washout period is recommended following use of fluoxetine before administering another serotonergic agent.”
