My name is David Nan, I am 19 i have anxiety and depression. I was first 'diagnosed' with attention deficit disorder when I was in grade 2. I was then put on Concerta a generic version of Ritalin for the next 9 years. My anxiety and depression got worse as I got older. I have seen a few psychologist and psychiatrists but I am frustrated with the pills they keep trying to make me take. Every medication they prescribe me had such an negative side effect (insomnia, unable to eat, jitters, zombie like feelings) that I could not live with so I’d stop taking them every time. One, walk-in clinic doctor prescribed Clonazepam for me but the problem is that it is highly additive. I have been self medicating with cannabis for 5 years now, but in the beginning was just to get high and forget about my racing thoughts that plagued my mind constantly. Now I what the right strain of cannabis that will help me live a good life by minimalizing my anxiety and depression.
My doctor will not help me though hes against the whole medical marijuana movement and its tough for me to find someone to help me my mother has been trying to help me through the whole process with getting the referall i need.
I hope that you can help me,
Thanks,
David Nan
