Common Questions and Answers about Does marinol test positive for thc

marinol

Avatar m tn Medicare coverage depends on doctor's DIAGNOSIS which must be "cachexia related to cancer" along with dose not exceeding FDA label maximum for the diagnosis. I do not know the FDA rules. The "alternative" is just dronabinol, the generic name of marinol. Marinol is synthetic THC, an oil/liquid at room temp, but provided as gel tabs which must be kept refrigerated. Marinol is NOT the CBD discussed on TV for kids.
Avatar m tn I have been treated for Chronic pain post Cancers and therapies, and I am very tolerant to any Opiates. I would like to try using Marinol (synthetic THC) for pain; it helped my pain as well as my nausea when I went through my Stem-cell Transplant. I am in Athens, GA; does anyone know of a doctor willing to prescribe this medicine for pain (when you have not been diagnosed with a cancer...yet?
Avatar f tn I'm not dx with ms, but have other conditions where mmj ,not marinol, helps me greatly. mmj also helps me with the weird sx I've been having since Jan '09. Marinol is synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) one of many compounds found in the in the cannabis plant. I hope this helps. The Rest Here: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/115748.
Avatar f tn I have no idea why, they said they test everyone and if they test positive they continue to test? I didn't think I was during my first pregnancy, but I'm not sure?
Avatar f tn They are hard to find but typically the doctor you would visit to get your MMJ license renewed would prescribe the opioids or refer you to another doctor that is MMJ Friendly. Another option is for you to ask the doctor for a prescription for Marinol...it is synthetic THC. I should mention that when my mother was dying from cancer, she said that the Marinol wasn't helping her eat, it was only the real marijuana that helped but things may be different for you. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Marinol is THC or "Medical" Marijuana. People with ADHD who use it are self medicating and (possibly) avoiding the issue of treating the real problem. I am sure that it makes them feel better. And there are probably "shops" out there that will "prescribe" it for you. As far as I know, no legit psychologist or psychiatrist would do so.
Avatar f tn The reason I say this is because I get tested every 3 months for the last 5 years. I have never had a test come back with thc or negative.for the meds I take. I also am going to take the added precaution of requesting a blood test. That way I won't get the weird problems sometimes caused by urine tests. The medical system is different now. The easy days of getting medical help when we need it are gone forever. We all have to be almost perfect to get pain management anymore.
1162446 tn?1262804903 melissakay - yes, medical marijuana is available in pill form by the name of Marinol. It contains THC which is the active ingredient of the marijuana plant. Some people swear it only works for pain and/or nausea control when smoked and won't use the legal Marinol for that reason. I'll admit I tried smoking it myself years ago when I was vomiting several times a day from the worst bowel obstruction I've ever had. (Lost a couple feet of colon from that event.
461838 tn?1255790216 The problem with nausea meds like zofran, and pills like marinol, is that during cancer chemo the nausea can be so bad that the patient cannot tolerate oral meds. I tried prescription nausea meds but they were horribly expensive and not particularly effective, even when I could hold them down.

Avatar m tn i failed a drug test for thc and was doing no drugs i only took excerdin and cold meds why is this and what can i do
Avatar n tn i was wanting to know if u can test positive for thc without smoking weed.
Avatar n tn Would takiing Zyprexa bipolar medicine cause a false positive for a marijuana **** test?
Avatar n tn I went to take my weekly drug screen and showed positive for thc and I havent done any drugs for over 1 year and I dont take any medications. What could have happend?
Avatar n tn Did not know that about THC. Thanks for sharing. Im assuming this is for long time users. Is this also true for the occassional user? Just curious. Not using any.
Avatar m tn 9 175lbs, I am still testing positive in my urine for THC. How much longer do I have till I finally test negative? Also, will I test Negative if I had a BLOOD test done? What is the difference? Please help!
Avatar f tn What do they do if you test positive for thc? And are they testing you for smoking? They cant really say anything about smoking it isn't illegal.
Avatar n tn can a person who has been trimming marijuana,and sitting in a room with a lot of hanging marijuana with dust in the air for a period of three weeks or so, test positive for thc even if he has not smoked...do you get a positive result from handling/trimming or can you get a positive result from being in the room with so much drying marijuana?
Avatar f tn Oh and if he cums in you you will test positive.... For being preggers! Haha not thc. Lol duh!
Avatar f tn If you smoke weed while your pregnant and when they do a blood test they check for drugs and if weed shows up. They will check when your baby is born if its in the blood stream if it is they have the authority to take your baby from you.
397118 tn?1219762250 Ok the title says it all lol, How long does marijuana stay in your system? I never did marijuana so don't know is for my nephew he keeps saying he is not doing any and every test is positive and occording to him the last time he use was 5 months ago but every month the test is positive. What do you guys think? is it like he says that it stays in your body for a long time or he is still using?
Avatar m tn Your Dr. can give you a drug test at any time. I get one at every visit, it show's the medication and the amounts in my system. If your records show that you have failed drug tests due to anything that is not prescribed by your Dr. will make it harder to find a PM Dr. or any Dr. who will give pain medication. They are being pressured more and more by the DEA.
Avatar f tn Honestly i wouldn't worry...yes marijuana is bad to smoke during pregnancy but I think when they do those tests they are looking for more hardcore drugs and im sure they also test levels which indicate how recently it was ingested. I know a girl whos baby tested positive for thc and she didn't get taken away because they didn't feel the baby was at risk being sent home with the parents....
Avatar n tn Hello, THC test can have variabilities.It is used for detecting marijuana that stays in your system the longest. THC is not water soluble which means that every time you use, it needs some place to stick to. That's where your fat cells come in. THC is stored in your fat cells. The more you have, the longer the THC will remain.So pls check out your obesity. Also there is too much human variation to even approximate how long THC will be detected in the urine of an individual.
Avatar n tn well, i am not a doc at a clinic but, i would think that they might kick you out of the clinic if you test positive for thc. was there a reason why you would think you had thc in your system? is it medical use? if it was clean, why would they retest you again? it is hard to understand what is going on without more info. if you would like to share more than that would be great, if not, i am afraid that you might be kicked out for having thc in your system.
Cat Hi! If you were my patient, I would advise you that buproprion can cause a false positive drug test for amphetamines. THC is marijuana. Buproprion is probably not the problem. Good luck!
