May use OTC analgesics and share more details
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.
First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately. Based on the history you have shared, for pain you can preferably use OTC analgesics like acetaminophen and if pain is due to urinary or bladder infection even using anti spasmodic like drotaverine can help by reducing repeated bladder movements adding into pain. And kindly clarify by POT what you actually refer to? A bit detail of pain can help us to suggest you more.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.

Brief Answer:
These can be withdrawn symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Thanks for sharing the details. These symptoms can be withdrawn symptoms due to marijuana. Using it concomitantly with levofloxacin, is not a convenient option as levofloxacin has tendency to cause cardiac arrythmias and this can get increased with marijuana. You can use more potent analgesics like tramadol etc in such cases. For other symptoms it's better to get a review by a psychiatrist for certain medicines like selective serotonin re uptake inhibitors etc. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.

Brief Answer:
It increases the risk of side effects
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
Thanks for sharing the details.
It's good that you have short medicine history, still it doesn't rule out that such side effects can't occur. It's not necessary that these will occur with exposure in your case but still, it's safe to avoid it. If you are having trouble quitting you may need to have a detailed review by a motivational psychologists for group therapies and psychiatrist review for the medical therapy for quiting this habit. For now for pain using OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or more potent one like tramadol will help.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
It can have some side effects on lungs too
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for sharing the information.
Apart from legalities, actually it can have some side effects on lungs in long term. You can start by lowering the intake and gradually reaching to a verge where quitting seems easy. But till then it's not bad to limit the use till you are on antibiotics.
