Can Effexor and Abilify keep marijuana in your system longer?

Posted by godinimeg @godinimeg, Feb 12 3:25pm

So I've been prescribed generic Abilify and Effexor for about 4 years now. I have also been an occasional user of marijuana off and on all my adult life. I know that it is frowned upon to use any illicit substances while being prescribed medication, but I've never been a daily, or even weekly user of marijuana. It is what it is and I'm guilty of partaking in marijuana use from time to time. The last time I used marijuana was around the first week of the year. I got laid off, unrelated to my marijuana use (economy problems in the industry I was in), in the second week of the year. So I've been clean since probably around the 8th or 9th (estimation) of January, but I am still popping positive for THC, and it's the 12th of February now. This is becoming a real problem for employment. My question basically is my prescribed medication causing my to test positive for THC even though it's been over a month, or is there something else going on? How long can I expect to test positive for marijuana?

Using pot - swallowing pills or smoking? Illegal or legal? I’m in VA and it’s legal to a point. I smoke, but way less than other people live it. In VA we can in our ground that start with seeds. Yes, now and then, I have a can of beer that I like it better than pot.

For some people inside their brain born problems, used the pot meds from doctors. I’m not like folks like this. Yes, I have a brain-I jury from a bicycle accident one block at my house. For me, I get my TBI problems, but not born like others.

Does it help me for smoking pot? It doesn’t help my leg-pains. But. The only-thing is sitting down after smoking. I don’t use it or every little. Cause I has a lot of things - inside or outside
