Antivert and Weed
Most people who consume marijuana do so for its mood-altering and relaxing abilities. Weed gives people a high and allows them to relax. However, heavy consumption of weed can cause unwanted results. It can increase the anxiety and depression a person experiences, and it can interact with certain other drugs including Antivert. It is important to remember that interactions do occur with all types of drugs, to a great or lesser extent and this article details the interactions of mixing Antivert and Weed.
Mixing Antivert and Weed
Meclizine, sold under the brand name Bonine, among others, is an antihistamine used to treat motion sickness and dizziness (vertigo). It is taken by mouth. Effects generally begin in an hour and last for up to a day.
Common side effects include sleepiness and dry mouth. Serious side effects may include allergic reactions. Use in pregnancy appears safe, but has not been well studied while use in breastfeeding is of unclear safety. It is believed to work in part by anticholinergic and antihistamine mechanisms.
Meclizine was patented in 1951 and came into medical use in 1953. It is available as a generic medication and often over the counter. In 2020, it was the 142nd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 4 million prescriptions.
Meclizine is used to treat symptoms of motion sickness. Safety and efficacy in children younger than twelve years of age has not been established; therefore, use in this population is not recommended. Meclizine should be taken with caution in the elderly due to increased risk of confusion and amnesia.
Meclizine is effective in inhibiting nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness.
The drug is safe for treating nausea in pregnancy and is a first-line therapy for this use. Doxylamine is similarly safe. Meclizine may not be strong enough for especially sickening motion stimuli and second-line defenses should be tried in those cases.
Meclizine may be used to treat vertigo, such as in those with Ménière’s disease.
Some common side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and tiredness may occur. Meclizine has been shown to have fewer dry mouth side effects than the traditional treatment for motion sickness, transdermal scopolamine. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but immediate medical attention should be sought if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.
Drowsiness may result as a side effect of taking meclizine. Users are advised not to operate heavy machinery while under the influence. The consumption of alcohol while under the influence of meclizine may result in additional drowsiness.
As with any anticholinergic agent, meclizine may cause confusion or aggravate symptoms in those with dementia in the geriatric population (older than 65 years). Therefore, caution should be used when administering meclizine to the elderly.
Meclizine is an antagonist at H1 receptors. It possesses anticholinergic, central nervous system depressant, and local anesthetic effects. Its antiemetic and antivertigo effects are not fully understood, but its central anticholinergic properties are partially responsible. The drug depresses labyrinth excitability and vestibular stimulation, and it may affect the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone. It has however been suggested that meclizine only has an inhibitory effect under normal viewing-circumstances, as the drug has been shown to enhance an isolated vestibular response. Much like motion-sickness arises from a discrepancy between multiple senses, Meclizine most likely affects a wide array of sensory mechanisms related to self-motion.
Meclizine also is a dopamine antagonist at D1-like and D2-like receptors but does not cause catalepsy[note 1] in mice, perhaps because of its anticholinergic activity.
Meclizine is a first-generation antihistamine (nonselective H1 antagonist) of the piperazine class. It is structurally and pharmacologically similar to buclizine, cyclizine, and hydroxyzine, but has a shorter half-life of six hours compared to cyclizine and hydroxyzine with about 20 hours (though half-life should not be confused with duration). It is used as an antivertigo/antiemetic agent, specifically in the prevention and treatment of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness. Meclizine is sometimes combined with opioids, especially ones of the open-chain class like methadone, dextropropoxyphene, and dipipanone. Similarly, Diconal is a combination drug containing dipipanone and cyclizine.
(4-Chlorphenyl)-phenylmethanol is halogenated with thionyl chloride before adding acetylpiperazine. The acetyl group is cleaved with diluted sulfuric acid. An N-alkylation of the piperazine ring with 3-methylbenzylchloride completes the synthesis.
Alternatively, the last step can be replaced by a reductive N-alkylation with 3-methylbenzaldehyde. The reductive agent is hydrogen, and Raney nickel is used as a catalyst.
Meclizine is obtained and used as a racemate, a 1:1 mixture of the two stereoisomers. Drug forms contain the racemic dihydrochloride.
Meclizine is an international nonproprietary name.
It is sold under the brand names Bonine, Bonamine, Antivert, Postafen, Sea Legs, and Dramamine II (Less Drowsy Formulation). Emesafene is a combination of meclizine (1/3) and pyridoxine (2/3). In Canada, Antivert Tab (which is no longer available) was a combination of meclizine and nicotinic acid.
Research has found that anxiety is one of the leading symptoms created by marijuana in users, and that there is a correlation between Antivert and Weed and an increase in anxiety.
Anyone mixing Antivert and weed is likely to experience side effects. This happens with all medications whether weed or Antivert is mixed with them. Side effects can be harmful when mixing Antivert and weed. Doctors are likely to refuse a patient a Antivert prescription if the individual is a weed smoker or user. Of course, this could be due to the lack of studies and research completed on the mixing of Antivert and Weed.
Heavy, long-term weed use is harmful for people. It alters the brain’s functions and structure, and all pharmaceuticals and drugs including Antivert are designed to have an impact on the brain. There is a misplaced belief that pharmaceuticals and medication work by treating only the parts of the body affected yet this is obviously not the case in terms of Antivert. For example, simple painkiller medication does not heal the injury, it simply interrupts the brains functions to receive the pain cause by the injury. To say then that two drugs, Antivert and Weed, dol not interact is wrong. There will always be an interaction between Antivert and Weed in the brain11.J. D. Brown and A. G. Winterstein, Potential Adverse Drug Events and Drug–Drug Interactions with Medical and Consumer Cannabidiol (CBD) Use – PMC, PubMed Central (PMC).; Retrieved September 27, 2022, from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6678684/.
One of the milder side effects of mixing Antivert and Weed is Scromiting. This condition, reportedly caused by mixing Antivert and Weed, describes a marijuana-induced condition where the user experiences episodes of violent vomiting, which are often so severe and painful that they cause the person to scream. The medical term for Scromiting by mixing Antivert and Weed is cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS. For these reasons, some people choose to quit smoking weed.
It was first included in scientific reports in 2004. Since then, researchers have determined that Scromiting is the result of ongoing, long-term use of marijuana—particularly when the drug contains high levels of THC, marijuana’s main psychoactive ingredient. Some experts believe that the receptors in the gut become overstimulated by THC, thus causing the repeated cycles of vomiting.
In the long run, a person can become even more depressed. There is a belief that marijuana is all-natural and not harmful to a person’s health. This is not true and Antivert and weed can cause health issues the more a person consumes it.
How does Weed effect the potency of Antivert?
The way in which the body absorbs and process Antivert may be affected by weed. Therefore, the potency of the Antivert may be less effective. Marijuana inhibits the metabolization of Antivert. Not having the right potency of Antivert means a person may either have a delay in the relief of their underlying symptoms.
A person seeking Antivert medication that uses weed should speak to their doctor. It is important the doctor knows about a patient’s weed use, so they can prescribe the right Antivert medication and strength. Or depending on level of interactions they may opt to prescribe a totally different medication. It is important for the doctor to know about their patient’s marijuana use. Weed is being legalized around the US, so doctors should be open to speaking about a patient’s use of it.
Sideffects of Antivert and Weed
Many individuals may not realize that there are side effects and consequences to mixing Antivert and Weed such as:
- Dizziness
- Sluggishness
- Drowsiness
- Shortness of breath
- Itching
- Hives
- Palpitations
- Respiratory Depression
- Cardiac Arrest
- Coma
- Seizures
- Death
Interestingly, it is impossible to tell what effect mixing this substance with Weed will have on an individual due to their own unique genetic make up and tolerance. It is never advisable to mix Antivert and Weed due to the chances of mild, moderate and severe side effects. If you are having an adverse reaction from mixing Antivert and Weed it’s imperative that you head to your local emergency room. Even mixing a small amount of Antivert and Weed is not recommended.
Taking Antivert and Weed together
People who take Antivert and Weed together will experience the effects of both substances. Technically, the specific effects and reactions that occur due to frequent use of Antivert and weed depend on whether you consume more weed in relation to Antivert or more Antivert in relation to weed.
The use of significantly more weed and Antivert will lead to sedation and lethargy, as well as the synergistic effects resulting from a mixture of the two medications.
People who take both weed and Antivert may experience effects such as:
- reduced motor reflexes from Antivert and Weed
- dizziness from Weed and Antivert
- nausea and vomiting due to Antivert and Weed
Some people may also experience more euphoria, depression, irritability or all three. A combination of weed and Antivert leads to significantly more lethargy which can easily tip over into coma, respiratory depression seizures and death.
Mixing weed and Antivert
The primary effect of weed is influenced by an increase in the concentration of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, which is found in the spinal cord and brain stem, and by a reduction in its effect on neuronal transmitters. When weed is combined with Antivert this primary effect is exaggerated, increasing the strain on the body with unpredictable results.
Weed and Antivert affects dopamine levels in the brain, causing the body both mental and physical distress. Larger amounts of Antivert and weed have a greater adverse effect yet leading medical recommendation is that smaller does of Antivert can be just as harmful and there is no way of knowing exactly how Antivert and weed is going to affect an individual before they take it.
Taking Antivert and weed together
People who take Antivert and weed together will experience the effects of both substances. The use of significantly more Antivert with weed will lead to sedation and lethargy, as well as the synergistic effects resulting from a mixture of the two medications.
People who take both weed and Antivert may experience effects such as:
- reduced motor reflexes from Antivert and weed
- dizziness from weed and Antivert
- nausea and vomiting of the Antivert
Some people may also experience more euphoria, depression, irritability or all three. A combination of weed and Antivert leads to significantly more lethargy which can easily tip over into coma, respiratory depression seizures and death.
Weed Vs Antivert
Taking Antivert in sufficient quantities increases the risk of a heart failure. Additionally, people under the influence of Antivert and weed may have difficulty forming new memories. With weed vs Antivert in an individual’s system they become confused and do not understand their environment. Due to the synergistic properties of Antivert when mixed with weed it can lead to confusion, anxiety, depression and other mental disorders. Chronic use of Antivert and weed can lead to permanent changes in the brain22.G. Lafaye, L. Karila, L. Blecha and A. Benyamina, Cannabis, cannabinoids, and health – PMC, PubMed Central (PMC).; Retrieved September 27, 2022, from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5741114/.
Antivert Vs Weed
Studies investigating the effects of drugs such as Antivert and weed have shown that the potential for parasomnia (performing tasks in sleep) is dramatically increased when Antivert and weed are combined. Severe and dangerous side effects can occur when medications are mixed in the system, and sleep disorders are a common side effect of taking weed and Antivert together.
When a small to medium amount of weed is combined with Antivert, sleep disorders such as sleep apnea can occur. According to the latest data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) most ER visits and hospitalizations caused by too much weed were associated with other substances such as Antivert.
How long after taking Antivert can I smoke weed or take edibles?
To avoid any residual toxicity it is advisable to wait until the Antivert has totally cleared your system before taking weed, even in small quantities.
Overdose on Antivert and weed
In the case of Overdose on Antivert or if you are worried after mixing Antivert and weed, call a first responder or proceed to the nearest Emergency Room immediately.
If you are worried about someone who has taken too much Antivert or mixed weed with Antivert then call a first responder or take them to get immediate medical help. The best place for you or someone you care about in the case of a medical emergency is under medical supervision. Be sure to tell the medical team that there is a mix of Antivert and weed in their system.
Excessive Weed intake and result in scromiting, chs, and anxiety disorder. It is advisable to quit vaping weed if you are feeling these symptoms.
Mixing Antivert and weed and antidepressants
Weed users feeling depressed and anxious may be prescribed antidepressant medication. There are some antidepressant users who also use Antivert and weed. These individuals may not realize that there are side effects and consequences to consuming both Antivert, marijuana and a range of antidepressants.
Studies on weed, Antivert and antidepressants is almost nil. The reason for so little information on the side effects of the two is mostly down to marijuana being illegal in most places – although a number of states in the United States have legalized the drug.
Self-medicating with Weed and Antivert
A lot of people suffer from depression caused by weed and Antivert. How many? According to Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), in any given year, it is estimated that nearly 16 million adults experience depression. Unfortunately, that number is likely to be wrong due to under reporting. Many people do not report suffering from depression because they do not want to be looked at as suffering from a mental illness. The stigmas around mental health continue and people do not want to be labeled as depressed.
Potential side effects from mixing Antivert and weed
Quitting weed to take Antivert
Medical professionals say an individual prescribed or taking Antivert should not stop using weed cold turkey. Withdrawal symptoms can be significant. Heavy pot users should especially avoid going cold turkey. The side effects of withdrawal from weed include anxiety, irritability, loss of sleep, change of appetite, and depression by quitting weed cold turkey and starting to take Antivert.
A person beginning to use Antivert should cut back on weed slowly. While reducing the amount of weed use, combine it with mindfulness techniques and/or yoga. Experts stress that non-medication can greatly improve a person’s mood.
Weed and Antivert can affect a person in various ways. Different types of marijuana produce different side effects. Side effects of weed and Antivert may include:
- loss of motor skills
- poor or lack of coordination
- lowered blood pressure
- short-term memory loss
- increased heart rate
- increased blood pressure
- anxiety
- paranoia
- increased energy
- increased motivation
Mixing Antivert and weed can also produce hallucinations in users. This makes marijuana a hallucinogenic for some users. Weed creates different side effects in different people, making it a very potent drug. Now, mixing Antivert or other mental health drugs with weed can cause even more unwanted side effects.
Mixing drugs and weed conclusion
Long-term weed use can make depression and anxiety worse. In addition, using marijuana can prevent Antivert from working to their full potential33.J. D. Brown and A. G. Winterstein, Potential Adverse Drug Events and Drug–Drug Interactions with Medical and Consumer Cannabidiol (CBD) Use – PMC, PubMed Central (PMC).; Retrieved September 27, 2022, from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6678684/. Weed consumption should be reduced gradually to get the most out of prescription medication. Marijuana is a drug and it is harmful to individual’s long-term health. Weed has many side effects and the consequences are different to each person who uses it, especially when mixed with Antivert.
