Can Marijuana interfere with the use of Risperdal?
BipolarStoner
I've been taking risperdal for almost 3 weeks and whenever I smoked some weed, it made my high really intense and pretty scarey. Is weed interfering with the medication?

Dear God! You are taking Risperdal likely to stop your hallucinations and/or schizophrenia. Marijuana is a hallucinogenic drug. Duh. Stop that.
