Common Questions and Answers about Marinol doctors

marinol

I do not want to smoke marijuana. I read comments from others in Las Vegas where I live they found doctors who precribe Marinol. Can you provide me the name or locations of these doctors. I tried to use my main doctor and a urologist but no luck for they are not comforable in precribing it.

My parents have agreed, that since my marijuana use dramatically helped with my colitis they would bring up the topic of marinol to my doctor. I am only 15 almost 16 and i want to know if anyone has used this as treatment, or if doctors do not like prescribing it especially to a younger person.

what is the maximum doseage of marinol that can be prescribed for longterm chronic pain

I used it for a short time when I was initially diagnosed. My doctor gave me a small dose, and I think it was probably too small to make a difference as far as nausea and appetite went. Around the same time I started taking it, I started having anxiety attacks. I'd never had them before, so I attributed them to Marinol, I stopped taking it and they went away.

prescribed 4 10 mg of marinol or the generic dronabinol but the govt will only pay for 2 a day instead of the 4 a day. any help or info. you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

ask him why he opposes it, and perhaps it’ll make sense. And yes, I imagine if a doctor feels his patient is not being compliant with doctor’s orders, he could probably deny treatment drugs. Even in states that allow medical marijuana use, other issues arise. In Washington State not to long ago, a transplant patient was denied an organ and subsequently died for marijuana use; this in a state that permits medical use of the herb. The TP center had it’s own protocol, regardless of state law.

My doctor for my liver has ordered me a "serum drug test" I am not sure why she has done this because I told her that I feel some doc treat me like a drug addict because I have hep c, and now she thinks I am one?!? or because she is seeing if my liver is clearing certain drugs or what? But, I use marijuana sometimes for Nausea. At most a couple hits, and most of the time I just live through it but it can be very frustrating.

You can only get Marinol with a prescription written from a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant.

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.

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?

it has been a really hard week and today i seen both my mental doctors and left kind of blah..they keep me on all these meds and i get more anxiety and she does try but marinol wasnt an option...i just wish that the stigma would be more talked about so that people could get off meds that are not fit for anything and sure as hell dont need to be flushed into the waste cause then its causing your neighbors kids to have a beard at a year old ..unwanted facial hair on a girl isnt pretty..

Why would you even consider that as an option? Pot is bad for you whether you have a disease or not. At least consider talking to your doctor about other options for pain relief and "relaxation". I aways figured that I needed all the brain cells I could get and could not afford to kill any. Life is full of struggles, and you probably don't want the negative, long-lasting effects that could occur.

How come I can't get a doctor to prescribe me xanax, but they will prescribe alprolozam? Also, how do I get a doctor to prescribe Marinol? I am in constant pain -again due to Fibromyalgia. Marijuana is the only thing that helps me. I'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.

I don't miss the coffee or the alcohol but I miss the good effects of the marijuana A LOT. Any suggestions? Marinol ***** for me. I got high but I got very paranoid. Also, it is extremely expensive even compared to the relatively high cost of medical marijuana.

Well people, here it is. I went to see my doctor yesterday, and I was put on on Xanax Extended Release 0.5mg. My doctor has also read the 9 page journal entry about my medication experience as documented on MedHelp here: http://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/339118/I-just-wish-people-would-understand (and you should read it too if you haven't had a chance yet).

They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon. It's how he's acting.... too tired, too nasueated, and too out of breath, and in too much pain. That indicates he's too anemic.

Good Afternoon everyone, I have a question, I was taken off of treatment the begining of my 15th, started to lose my hair (80%) of it is gone now, anyway now my face is swollen and the right side is worst than the left, I have red blotches from the forehead and spots here and there, I was wondering if this could still be caused from the side effects, can't get my doctor on the phone, said he would get my message on Tuesday.....I said BS I will go to ER first.

On morphine and nausea medication (Marinol). It's been 3 weeks since her last chemo treatment, and the Doctor said he is surprised that she is still here. Now the insurance company people want to move her to what I gather is a nursing home, because the Doctor says, she is "Chronic but not Active".

I will also pray for your friend and hope she gets well soon. The doctor should be able to get her some Marinol??? It is pot in a pill form. I understand that it really helps with the sickness from chemo. I puff a bit myself from time to time. I really don't look at it as a drug and I can take it or leave it. I hope you have a great day!!!

, Megace) and dronabinol (i.e., Marinol) can be taken.For that a prescription and consultation of a doctor are mandatory. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how your son is doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.

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?

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.

He had much better control of it on his own at home. His doctor and nutritionist don’t seem too concerned about his appetite and have only suggested Boost supplement to up his calorie intake. I don’t think they realize the psychological affect of being able to enjoy food again. Is there anything that I could suggest to his doctors that would give him an appetite again? He is on so many meds, and he even said, “If I could just take a pill to get my appetite back”.

With Lots of other problems with eating and I was put on MARINOL and it has helped me eat I was 120lb.woman went to a 98lb.woman and the marinol helping me eat 103lb.
