For some reason, I can't get my prescription for Marinol filled. I've been waiting for approximately six months. Can anyone give the name of the Canadian manufacturer or distributor?

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

If i have a prescription for alprolozam and I take a xanax will it show up differently on a urine test? I realize Alprolozam is the generic version - other than being cheaper than xanax, what other differences are there. Xanax seems to help me relax as where Alprolozam just makes me tired. I have constant joint/muscle pain from Fibromyalgia. 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?

, 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 don't know about any trials, but I do know that some states are allowing prescription cannibus to be used for hep C. Even here in good old N.D., my doctor would have scripted it if I had wanted. In the pill form anyway. It is called Marinol. Hopefully someone else will come along who knows about trials. I know New Sojourn gets medical marijuana.

So, he perscribed marinol (he wanted to give me options) and told me vaporizing marijuana was ok too. This was actually after my cardiologist thought this would be a good plan for me. So I tried it. The Marinol works fantastic, the marijuana works almost as well too. There's little to no pain when I use it before I usually get an attack, and during an attack, it stops the pain in its tracks. It's really amazing. The problem: The problem is that I HATE the psychoactive effects from it.

Does moving out of state and trying to get prescription Cannabis actually seem like a logical route at this point? Or is there another route that I can take that won't end up nearly killing me in the process like the Effexor or Cymbalta did? I mean, the Xanax works OK sometimes, but it makes me sleepy, tired, and sometimes it even makes me even more depressed. So. this is pretty much last resort for me at this point.

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.

I do not refrigerate mine, It doesn't say to on the Pharmacy bottle like the Vic and Pegasys and marinol all has refrigerate on sript instructions

My neuro feels it can help spasticity and there are studies out of UCSD that prove this. His facility will not recommend the use, but he supports the use if a doctor outside his facility recommends it. In Colorado, it is legal (Amendment 20 to the Colorado Constitution) and the recommendation costs about $60 a year. I guess to address twopack, the idea is not to get "wasted" like highschool, but to get enough to function or sleep and reduce the prescription drugs.

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.

Because of the intense fatigue, the NP gave me prescriptions for Ritalin (improve focus), Provigil (fatigue), and Marinol (help with nausea/lack of appetite, helps reduce pain/ spasticity from nerves misfiring) The Ritalin and Marinol are working great so far. I have not yet tried the provigil. I want to talk to my GP first because I have high BP and Provigil can elevate it. This was supposed to be a short note, so I'll keep quiet now.

Substances Causing False Positives According to a report by the Los Angeles Times New Service, a study of 161 prescription and over the counter medications showed that 65 of them produced false positive results in the most widely administered urine test.

Hi Johnny: First-I reiterate the same as ladywithtime! Possibly Marinol (a synthetic marijuana) as an option? It sounds like you are in some very extreme pain, but it is something I thought I would throw out there for you maybe it will help.

Now it seems as though it is prescribed pretty regularly and doctors only ever ask 'does this work for your pain' and you continue getting the prescription. If you want a future - take something else, maybe some combination of vicoden (also bad, but not as bad as the oxy) or stay on OTC pain medication. If you are a soilder, you must be young - you have a future that depends on your mental alertness, even if your back pain is a problem.

If your rash is anything other than a few bumps, over the counter medications are not going to control it. They simply are not strong enough. You will probably need prescription steroid creams and/or ointments and Hydroxyzine. I used fluocinonide ointment for my body rash, hydrocortisone valerate cream for my face rash, and clobetesol solution for my scalp. Those were all topical prescriptions. They helped but they did not get the rash under control.

It is not legal in MN anyway, LOL, so I would be out of luck if I did want some. I think I will try to get a prescription for Zofran. I know I need to eat more than just Greek yogurt, eggnog, bread and butter, and a brat here and there. Thanks orphanedhawk and hrsepwrguy for the input.

Jim's medical marijuana idea sounds like it might work, but if you're against that I'm sure there are other prescriptions the doctor could give him. I've always read that it's very important to drink a lot of water while on treatment. The rule of thumb is half your body weight in ounces every day. Also the ribavirin is better absorbed when taken with fat -even ice cream. I'd also want to know if the doctor has given him a PCR to check his viral load since he started treatment.

These meds are designed to prevent or relieve nausea and vomiting. Many are available without a prescription, such as Benadryl, Dramamine, Pepcid AC, Tagamet and Maalox. Other antiemetics require a prescription, such as Compazine, Reglan, Marinol, or Zofran. Some of these meds may interact with your HIV medications, however, so check with your doctor before taking them. Antibiotics. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic if a bacterial infection is to blame for your nausea or vomiting.

Oral prescriptions are allowed, except that the prescription is limited to 30 days worth of doses, although exceptions are made for cancer patients, burn victims, etc. and oral prescriptions for schedule II drugs must be confirmed in writing within 3 days. No refills are allowed. Also, Schedule II drugs are subject to production quotas set by the DEA.

I see a lot of fear out there on this and am wondering why. It appears to have less side effects than many harsh prescription drugs and if it can help people who are suffering from chronic pain, cancer, MS and other medical issues, then why not? What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it should be allowed strictly for medical reasons? Why or why not?

Yeah, I know, but I don't care. I am so angry that I can't just pick it up at Walgreens with my prescriptions. Screw the government and the liquor lobbyist. I don't know about the combo side effects. I have not liked the mental effects of the Gemzar, but I am unable to take any of the meds most everybody gets for side effects (benadryl, decadron etc) so mine may be different.

So he put me on different pain meds with no tylenol contained in them and also he gave me a prescription for a nausea medication called vistaril. Has anyone else tried this vistaril nausea med and if so, did it help? If this doesn't work for me I am going to ask for an injectible anti-emetic, just haven't figured out which one I want to try yet. I know I don't want injectible phenergan. I've been there before and it can be very hard on the tissue, even when you use it IM.

CMF Chemo is supossed to be mild, but I guess, is up to the dosis. I heard Marinol works, but I do not know if they can prescribe here in New York, I will go thru the 6 remaining treatments, I am not a quitter, besides, I can not wait to go Home. I will prevail, not without complaining. This wednesday , I will have the Port placement, (the last pinching in my vein) I wish you all the best! MERRY CHRISTMAS ! and Thanks !!!
