You can smoke weed and be on anti-depressants.
I've smoked while on zoloft and also wellbutrin.

depends on what antidepressants you're on. I take lexapro which is an ssri for ocd and panic disorder, and i smoke weed everyday. But  from what i have heard bipolar people dont take ssri's and that they take another type of antidepressant

Dude it's TOTAL bullshit. Weed an antidepressants don't interact, I've heard doctors say it.

What's the name of the medication you want to go on?  I'm taking Zyprexa, a mood stabilizer, and benzodiazepines and nothing bad has happened to me while combining them with weed.  But then again, it's different for everybody.

Keep the pot to a minimum. It won't completely throw you for a tailspin but if you do it often it may. I occasionally smoked pot on lithium and Zyprexa for about a year with no side effects. I lost interest in pot and am now on new medications though.

Messing any mood altering drugs is not a good idea in general. This is especially bad if one's moods are unstable. Honestly talk to your doctor about this.

Your sanity is worth more than getting high.
