Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) and Cyamemazine

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

CNS DEPRESSANTS

Why this applies to Cyamemazine

Cyamemazine falls under CNS DEPRESSANTS — the group Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) interacts with.

Theoretically, THC might have additive effects if used with other CNS depressants.
Cannabis containing THC can have CNS depressant effects. Combining THC with other CNS depressants might result in additive or synergistic effects.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Cyamemazine (Tercian) is a sedating antipsychotic, so it already tends to make people feel drowsy, foggy, or slowed down. THC also has calming, sedating effects on the brain. Put the two together and those effects can stack up, leaving you more sleepy, dizzy, or unsteady than either one alone. Your thinking and reaction time can take a hit too, which matters a lot for driving or anything that needs focus.

To be fair, this concern is theoretical, based on how both substances act in the brain rather than on hard studies. Still, it's a real and reasonable worry. Please don't change anything on your own. Have a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor so they can weigh in for your situation.

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc)
  • Chronic or nerve pain
