Common Questions and Answers about Marinol and periactin

marinol

Avatar m tn For wasting, any well-liked food (ice cream, steak, potatoes, cake!) will work better than the marinol; marinol dehydrates the body and induces a drive to eat salty foods like chips which then induce a drive to drink fluids; marinol will not, therfore, lead to any effective eating; fatten up first.

Avatar m tn t very psychoactive but helps significantly reduce inflammation, relaxes muscles, and relieves pain. Marinol is typically prescribed to cancer patients to help with the pain, nausea, and to increase appetite. Many cancer patients have said that it is not nearly as effective as real medical marijuana and a smaller subset said it helped. A few chronic pain patients have been prescribed Marinol for pain and attest that it is very effective for pain.
Avatar m tn My dad takes oxycodone 15mg/ oxycontin 20mg/ marinol 2.5mg/ and ibuprofen 220mg Marinol is synthetic marijuana and it is doing wonders for his back pain. But if this is the case then shouldn't he theoretically be able to go off of the oxy's? I am so confused. Doctors don't tell me about liver or kidney protection and that is one of my first concerns.
Avatar m tn It would be great if i didnt have to use marijuana and break the law, and could legaly use marinol and feel normal.
Avatar m tn I have liver cirrhosis and when I became ill, my doctor prescribed Marinol for weight gain. I had lost 85 lbs and gained 30 pounds with this treatment. My doctor discontinued the Marinol and my weight decreased. I am 6'2" tall and am considering smoking marijuana to achieve the weight gain I am comfortable with. Will this method injure my liver further or have no real effects to it?
Avatar m tn I have smoked with them but I do not want to smoke anymore or to become certified for the smell around the house with kids and on my clothing. It works and do relieve my pain. I am still trying to do sports and those knees of mine just pain along with the shoulder. I looking for a doctor in Las Vegas to write me a precription just to make a comparison. I am not a young person who wants to be just high. Medical marijuana is growing in population and I just read about a new lotion.
Avatar m tn Marinol is just pharmaceutical MJ, and docs cannot prescribe it for w/ds. I agree with the others, ride it out. Anything you're feeling won't harm you....just just have to get through it. Wanting to turn to another drug to ease the w/ds from the first drug is how people stay stuck on the merry-go-round.
Avatar m tn I took 1 2.5 mg Marinol cap about 2 weeks ago. I don't do drugs. The pill was taken by mistake. Am I positive for THC?

163305 tn?1333668571 Makes me wonder why they went all-out, and went the actual marijuana route, instead of trying MARINOL first. It's available in pills/capsules, so I'm sure it could be crushed up and put in a spoon of peanut butter or something the kid would be happy to ingest.
Avatar f tn Hi there, I have IBS, I also have cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension. I get severe pain in my abdomen. It is beyond any other pain besides the worst migraine I've ever had. The pain is so bad I usually end up pouring sweat and putting as much pressure on my gut as possible until it passes. I use guided meditation sometimes and that helps a lot. My Dr. has run through all of the standard medications, and many are not available to me because of the cardiac problems.
Avatar f tn Is it of your opinion that Marinol can be an alternative drug to treat Multiple Sclerosis? I cannot handle shots, and I know there are many side effects from the shots.
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 m tn Hi, I agree with shazbat64, could quite easily be migraines. I think you should visit a chiropractor or osteopath to see if you have something out in your neck, which I have had a massive migraine and dizziness from. I know alot of people don't believe in chiro's though. Also go to your GP and see if it's migraine's. I have taken "PERIACTIN" more than once. It is an antihistamine and used as a migraine preventative.
Avatar n tn ve had hundreds of different prescriptions and treatments over the last 17 years and nothing but a massage, hot tub, and Marijuana help ease my non-stop pain.

Avatar f tn ve started on (Periactin)? Most nights I get home from school and crash in bed until 1 am. Then go back to sleep. Last night, I was extremely tired. I fell asleep in a chair at 5 pm, woke up at 6:30 pm to eat dinner, then went straight to bed and crashed until 11 am the next morning. Almost 16 hours of straight sleep. It seems to get like that a lot. I keep crashing when I get home. I usually go to bed around 11 pm most nights and get up at 7 am on weekdays. The hunger is frustrating.
Avatar f tn The back pain is back and the surgean referred me to PM and gave me the same meds gabapentin and hydrocodone, so I started smoking again otherwise I get sick dont eat, puke bile. PM did a drug test, which I told them about the pot and they said no injections without it but would put me on tramadol due to FDA law.
Avatar n tn Examples are hepatitis, hyperthyroidism, lymphomas, collagen vascular diseases, and cancers of the rectum, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. Chronic infections such as chronic sinusitis can be associated with urticaria. I feel that you should find out the cause of your chronic urticaria by ruling out the various conditions causing it.Also if these air borne allergens are the cause of urticaria in your case,then pls try avoiding them. I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted.
