manic depression & weed

I was wondering if anyone out there knows the effects of weed on manic depressive people.
I have been on medication (lithium, effexor) for the past 7 years, during which I have not stopped smoking weed.
What I really want to know is if weed induces manic depression??
I would really like to quit or cut down but I'm finding it extremely difficult to do as my bf smokes it all the time.
Any advice (except dumping my bf would be greatly appreciated.

personally i don't know but my friend takes effexor and has taken lithium for his depression, i've noticed his behaviour and he seems to be all happy one moment then just turns into a grumpy ****, he's been smoking it for years aswell and he's tried to commit suicide before, i don't know if this is directly related to dope but you could try just smoking the odd joint everyday then wheen off it, bong will probably give you a more detailed response.
As with any drug if you dont think you are coming out better off then you shouldnt be using it.
As a hallucinogen it may well not be a great idea but then some people do say that it helps them.
I think only you can decide whether its doing you any good. But be careful and it would be better if you cut down a bit.
As for your boyfriend smoking and you not wanting to, may I suggest that you might want to smoke but not inhale, that way you'd be part of the experience without 99% of the high/bad effects.
I hope your ok.
Bong your are def the boards champion.
