HOW DOES MARIJUANA AFFECT THE — USE OF MEDICATIONS FOR BPD? How Does Marijuana Affect The Use Of Medications For BPD? Question: My 19 year old daughter is having some insight and is becoming open to help, meds and possible therapy for her BP disorder.  She admits to self medicating with marijuana.  Would marijuana cancel out effectiveness of meds?  Hopefully she would be open to giving treatment/meds and DBT an opportunity to help her, and set aside marijuana. Thank you. Dr. Heller’s Answer: There are problems with chronic marijuana use, including the legal ones.  Marijuana use can cause weight gain, a lack of motivation, serious lung disease, and over time causes permanent brain damage.  It is an effective treatment for anxiety, and many pharmaceutical research companies are searching for medications that work similar to marijuana without getting the high or the impairment.  I’m not a believer that one should go through life “high”. With that understanding, marijuana does not alter the effectiveness of the medications used to treat the BPD or most associated comorbid disorders.  I don’t know how it would affect DBT.  I often recommend borderlines take Haldol (haloperidol) prior to therapy sessions so they won’t experience the seizures that cause dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair).  Haldol is very different from marijuana because it helps these individuals deal with reality, as opposed to marijuana which is used to escape from it.
