What Is The Allowed Limit Of Marijuana For Anxiety Patient?

Hello,
I am a 19 year old female, 5'4 roughly 150-160 lbs.
I'm a heavy smoker and i suffer from anxiety and depression.
For the past 3 days, I've been taking Apo-Citalopram 20 mg and novo-methylphenidate 72 mg.
What are the possible affects of drinking alcohol or smoking weed in this situation?
If possible, how much am I allowed to have? without running the risk of anything. I've smoked marijuana last night and i was fine.

Thank you.

cannot say in your particular case, but generally, mixing several psychoactive medications all together is going to cause problems. Even a little alcohol or marijuana is going to make it impossible to say what the other drugs are doing and whether they are helping or hurting the anxiety.

Then, there is the whole drug dependence issue.... withdrawing from alcohol or even marijuana can easily trigger anxiety and/or depression.

Just being and staying off of drugs of abuse will make manangeing treatment a lot easier and likely more successful !
