Common Questions and Answers about Marinol thc pill

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 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 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 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?
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.
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 God I hate this phone just drink lots of water they can't do anything to you just because of this. As long as the baby doesn't have thc in their system when they are born they can't do anything to you dear. If they get too rude I would just switch doctors. My doctors know I smoked but they didn't even write it down when I had my first visit of the 21 questions. they have everyone pee, every time right before you're visit. At my doctors anyway. you'll be fine!
461838 tn?1255790216 There are plenty of people who are medically prescribed THC or Marijuana. I don't know that there are any HEALTH benefits from THC consumption - but it has been proven to help glaucoma and also has been known to stop nausea. It is illegal in most states and Federally. Alaska is unique. Check into each state's laws to determine what is legal for your state.
163305 tn?1333668571 There's a form of marijuana in pill form... it's called MARINOL (Dronabinol). I was put on it when I lost 40lbs as a side-effect of taking another medication. The side-effect of MARINOL, is that it gives you the munchies and MAKES you want to eat. Gained the weight back slowly, and stopped taking it. Makes me wonder why they went all-out, and went the actual marijuana route, instead of trying MARINOL first.
Avatar n tn marinol is medical marijuana, pill form, you can only get it if you go to dr where med mj is legalized, alaska, arizona, california, colorado, hawaii, maine, nevada, oregon or washington it is so ******* ridiculous it is not medically legal EVERYWHERE and that the medical legalization does not supercede the federal government laws ... you can still get busted for possession even if you have a script from a dr.. maybe obama will help us out, i hope so...
874521 tn?1424116797 Hi Opus, I think in most states...or countries where THC is legal these "pills" or other forms of the drug are becoming available. I have heard of them but never known anyone that has been prescribed the "pills" you are asking about. In order to understand the effects of THC (the active ingredient in Marijuana/Cannabis) we need to understand the properties of the drug. This from Wikipedia: "Cannabis has psychoactive and physiological effects when consumed.
Avatar m tn I want and need to stop smoking pot but want to avoid the w/d's, need to work etc. It's my understanding Marinol can ease the symptoms considerably. Anyone know how to get it? I tried going to the Dr but he would not prescribe it off-label. Any suggestions?
560501 tn?1383612740 I'd be willing to try it. I am one of those people who do use marijuana medicinally, although my state does not yet participate. It does help with MS symptoms, particularly the spacisity. The big plus about it is that it reduces the amount of narcotics that I have to use to help reduce the pain from MS and degenerative disk disease. The drawback to marijuana use, at least for me, is that I do not like the so-called euphoria. Go figure, I would be one of the weird ones.
Avatar f tn I've never heard of dronabinol. Is it some form of medical mary jane? As far as THC showing up in a drug test, I've heard to assume 30 days because it gets in your fat cells. Probably wouldn't take as long for an occasional user, but I'm not really sure. Good luck, it probably would help with your appetite. Where do you live? 13 states have medical marijuana if you are in the US.
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.
1159737 tn?1286517257 That is hard on you to take that much Tylenol every day, the mmj would benefit you, but ask your doctor about Marinol (not sure if im spelling it right), a synthetic pill form so that you dont have to smoke, if your doc is open minded. It isnt quite the same but, its worth a try. I think that It helps me put the pain in the back of my mind, sometimes it breaks through when it its intense. But the dull achey pains that are constant are eased enough to not think about as much.
Avatar m tn I just don`t know if I would get kicked out of the trial if they discovered thc in my blood.Also I am not sure if it would harm my liver in any way or interfer with the interferon and riba and the trial drug.There seems to be a difference of opinion on what marijuana may or may not do to the liver.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I wanted to avoid THC and just wanted to stick to CBD. I needed to add a little THC for the sleep. It was a 1:1 ratio used to vape, which worked wonderfully. Sometimes, I need more Indica than what is in the 1:1 vape. Can you share with me what kind of Hemp oil you use? As, in brand and extra ingredients? I've tried Charlottes Web, and a couple others.
Avatar n tn This will continue until ALL of the THC is out of your body. The 30 day rule is a myth. When fat cells burn, the stored THC metabolizes into THCA and is released back into the bloodstream. From there, the kidneys filter the THCA from the bloodstream and deposits them into the bladder for the eventual excretion.
