Ok, so I was not ready for this. I am actually prescibed the medications listed above for a combination of anxiety/depression. This was my first day to have the Elavil and so I took 2 of the new pills, plus my zoloft and smoked a couple of chillums of cannabis. I smoke cannabis on average of 10 times a day, so I don't really get 'high' anymore. But after smoking these chillums I started to feel really high, which was weird. Then I went to walk to the TV room, and was stumbling. I layed and watched tv, not really able to move, and my vision was completely messed up. I had tunnel vision in on the tv, and nothing seemed to be real.

[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated, tripping, or extremely sleep deprived is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]

So then I left my friends house and proceeded home, felt like I was driving a space ship or something, nothing seemed real, and I could feel myself just blanking staring at the road, not really even realising I was driving. I got home and all I wanted to do was pass out and get a good nights sleep. But instead when I layed down, I felt like a ton of bricks was on top of me and it felt like a huge ball was in my mouth, and felt like I couldn't swallow or breathe.

Went down to get some water and hopefully feel better. It took about an hour for this feeling to go away before I could pass out. By the time all of this was over it had been nearly 3 and 1/2 hours since I had smoked, and I still felt high. It was the craziest thing I have ever experienced when I wasn't planning on having a psychological event, like with mushrooms or lsd. I don't know if it was a combination of the drugs or just the new elavil, but I never want to feel that again.
