I live with bipolar as well and have avoided cannabis use because when I did smoke it, I was severely depressed afterwards. Recently I had some dental work that did not go well and I was on one of the Oxy formulations for a few days to deal with pain. I had a bad reaction to the Oxy and I found that 5 mg pot gummy's in conjunction with Tylenol provided better pain relief. When the pain faded enough that I just needed Tylenol, I didn't experience the usual post use depression.

I experiment with the gummy's afterwards and found that the depression post usage effect was still present. Something about using them as pain relief changed how my mind responded to THC.
