Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

There is no major drug interaction between antidepressant and cannabis. Cannabis could lead to mood swings. In that case, there are chances that cannabis could lead to depressive symptoms. Better to consult your psychiatrist for further management. In case, you need any more information, you can ask me.

Thanks
