Medical use is legal for most chronic illness. Marinol is now only schedule III, which is less than most opioids (which Dr.s have given me without batting an eye). Part of it is that I see a psychiatrist, and have had to undergo evaluation for transplant. Both assesments have deemed me an exceptionally low risk for addiction. (In addition, there's been no drug abuse, alcoholism, etc. in more than 3 generations of both sides of my family.) I hope this doesn't come across as self-righteous.

I have read many articles online that many people nationwide with TN find releif from cannabis wether it's Marinol or smoking. I live in Connecticut and obviously it's illegal. But my question is more based on the Neurontin and cannabis combination. I've read it's ok but will make you veer drowsy. Honestly I'd rather be drowsy off that than a highly addictive opiate. Please can I have your thoughts.

seem to vary with me, but I think its important to find a schedule and stick to it. After my coffee and before People's Court works best for me.

Synthetic drugs which bind to the same receptors as THC. These drugs constitute the few Schedule I drugs on the market and Marinol is one example. These drugs are very potent and are almost exclusively reserved for cancer patients and persons suffering from AIDS. I wouldn't want to draw to many conclusions from your post but I would urge you to consider whether THC is medicinal or utopian?

5mg dose of Marinol for my nausea but have not been given anything for pain. In the process of determining what was the cause of my abdominal pain they removed my gallbladder. I am starting college at a VERY difficult school and need some help with ways to deal with this condition so i can function each day. Mornings are very hard for me. Waking up so incredibly nauseous and vomiting. I am scheduled to see a specialist but that is more than a month away.

I am on Peg-Intron and Ribavirin and Procrit,Marinol, backup Novolin

I live in a state that doesn't believe in medical weed or the use of Marinol but a few tokes now and then kept the nausea down and had a tendency to make me want to eat something. That last advice I got from a priest in the HepC Neighborhood.It sure beat shoving phenergan suppositories up my butt. As for aches and pains Ibuprophen because acetaminophen destroys the liver. If something stronger is needed Vicoprophen( percs with ibuprophen instead of tylenol.

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 !!!

I have learned from this board that these are moderate increases. I have a follow up scheduled later this week (i assume for hep screen and re-evaluation). In the days before the test (including the night before) I used marijuana excessively. Over the past 3 months i have used it regularly. I have recently gained approx 15 pounds due to inactivity and poor eating habits.

There is a drug on the market used for the severe nausea associated with many durg treatments. It's called Marinol (sp?) Many people do not think it works. One of the problems with isolating THC is that it removes the many compounds found in marijuana that may be involved in bringing relief to it's users.. Unfortunately, in this country, particularly at the Federal level, there is staunch resistence to using marijuana medicinally.

Given you schedule -- and don't be surprised if it changes once you start treating -- I'd take my first riba with bkfast and the second with dinner. That way you'll have plenty of food/fat with it -- plus if you eat at seven, you still have five hours before bedtime.

And although it is a Schedule II drug, the doctor can write him a script for Marinol, which has the active ingredient of marijuana, THC, and stimulates appetite. It worked wonders for my father-in-law when he had lung cancer---he ate well until just three days before he died. Does your friend have a close family member to act as an advocate at doctor appointments? If not, do you wish to? It's hard, but there's no more holy work in the world.

I typically have chronic pain from the natural degeneration of the spine because of the postion of the curve. I'm tired of taking opiates and I'm scheduled to start suboxone next Tuesday afternoon under the guidance of my pain management clinic. I have some knowledge of suboxone. I've been on and off this website for the last year or two and I've read both good and bad things about the drug.

Although my nausea is healed, I usually fall dead asleep right after I take it. The problems that you are facing with the Marinol is because Marinol has always been side to have the same side effects as marijuana. That explains the side effects of short-term memory and not feeling completely there.

I've heard stories about how it helped with arthritis, chemotherapy symptoms, glaucoma, alcohol abuse and the list goes on. I don't understand why it should even be a Schedule I drug. I can understand cocaine and heroine, but marijuana? Must be the politicians attitudes. I'd vote for legalizing and taxing it like tobacco.

Marijuana Not Medicine, Addiction Experts Say Kathleen Louden Apr 29, 2013 CHICAGO — Illinois should not legalize cannabis, and physicians should not write recommendations for patients to use marijuana for medical purposes, because it is a dangerous, addictive drug and is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a group of addiction medicine physicians said during a press conference here.

My GI doctor disagreed and prescribed Marinol. I never could tolerate it, but no other nausea med worked and Phenergan added to the movement, especially the doses they had me on (150 mg/daily). I settled on a small dose of Marinol (2.5 mg). I even have problem with that. It seems to be related to faster heart beat. I have been weaning off of it. I remember when I first went on it, and my GI doctor said if you can't afford it, do what you have to do.

I take ativan from time to time for anxiety. I like it because it is a drug I can take as needed - not like ADs where you have to take it daily to keep threaputic levels. I mostly take ativan at night, at those times when I just cannot make my brain stop racing through all my problems over and over. It helps me a lot and I never had any trouble with side effects. Its not liver toxic. I get 1 mg, 30 pills and that will last me about 2-3 months or more. Give it a try.

She became so happy and motivated and most importantly could eat as she would go days without eating as the chemo made her lose her appetite. Those buds are on this Earth for reason! She did try Marinol (synthetic THC made by a pharmaceutical company and its intent is to mimic the effects of marijuana) but my mother said it didn't even compare to the real stuff.

Fortunantly I work a job where I can go into work very early and be home early, as I am not on a set schedule. But there are times when the symptoms do interfer with my job no matter what time of day. I consider that a day when it "bloodied my nose", but the next morning I wake to the little note on my bathroom mirror that says "TODAY IS AN 8TH DAY".....then i go make my coffee and see the little note there that says "TODAY IS AN 8TH DAY"....

How is it prescribed for you? Did you take any yet? Did he put you on a tapering dose schedule with the phenobarbital? Dealing with withdrawal: Stick to the taper plan,rest,remain calm (your nervous system needs to heal),force fluids and eat small meals. I don't know about a "solution"...do you mean the Thomas Recipe"? Headache is a major withdrawal sympton along with anxiety and insomnia. Be sure to stick with the taper!
