delayed anti-depressant prescription due to weed use?

I don't know how long THC remains in the system, but from what I see, mixing it definitely wouldn't be a good idea. So... either the doctor is thinking about half-life of the weed, or- and I'm leaning in this direction- three months without is something significant- proof that you are serious about not mixing. Or perhaps three months is needed to get over the cravings for the stuff. Won't hurt to ask him his reasoning, but from what I see, most doctors are going to be pretty firm on you staying weed-free, it seems to be fairly complicated and counterproductive to try to regulate via antidepressants while imbibing in marijuana. I am on Lexapro generic, and I used to be a moderate-slightly heavy drinker, and I got an earful about that, when I was placed on an SSRI. I took it to heart, and only drink lightly and on occasion. But it mustn't become a regular habit. From what I can see, weed would have a similar effect that alcohol does when it comes to antidepressants- both intensify side effects (drowsiness, decreased reaction, etc) while at the same time, in the larger picture, counteracting the therapeutic effects of the antidepressant. Like booze, it appears weed can be both a depressant, and a stimulant. I was read the riot act about drinking, I don't expect they'll be easy on you about weed.
