Antidepressants or anxiolytics for sleep and pain management

I did a drug interaction query, and found that your shouldn't combine Cannabis (THC) with Prednisone.

They both follow the same neural pathways - that's the gist- it got real technical really fast.

Bottom line, just like alcohol - the two shouldn't be combined.

If you search the internet with the question, “Is it okay to use
cannabis products while taking
prednisone?” , you will find positive (though cautionary)
responses.
Just as with pharmasuticals.

For great sleep and some pain relief I prefer small doses of
THC/CBD to anxiety, depression, and other drugs.

I do take them at bedtime and
prednisone in the early morning to lessen any interaction (I hope).

At 88, in assisted living, with
PMR since 2016, I reckon if it works use it.
I do keep my doctor aware of my proactivity on health and quality of life issues 🙏😇🌹
