I have been feeling constantly tired, apathetic and despondent.
Hello everyone, three months ago I started with pgad, which is a condition that you feel unwanted sexual arousal, it is horrible, I couldn't even sleep, at some moments It goes away and others it will return.

This is the first study that evaluates the relationship between alcohol and cannabis use in patients with HCV and those coinfected with HCV/HIV. It is of great importance to disease management that physicians understand the factors influencing HCV disease severity, especially those that are potentially modifiable. The use and abuse of both alcohol and marijuana together is not an uncommon behavior.
The primary role of cannabis is to stimulate appetite, reduce nausea and vomiting, and treat joint pain. This role is applicable to HCV patients undergoing chemotherapy, those with cancer or cirrhosis, and those with joint pain and headache. Cannabis is far less toxic than other medications that might be prescribed for these conditions and where liver impairment is concerned, it is vital to avoid toxicity.

t have evidence that a person should forgo chemo and just use cannabis. But there is evidence that cannabis is useful for the side effects of chemo, and it does not interfere with the benefits (and sometimes makes the chemo more effective). If Cannabis was a terrible immuno-suppressant, we would not have thousands of studies that show that cannabinoids slow the growth of cancer cells.

I am on 25mg sertraline, day 8 for anxiety and panic attacks - so far only really feeling the side effects and no real relief yet but am very hopeful given all the positive comments I've read online - if I can just last until it starts to kick in. Also hoping that I won't require a higher dosage.

By the way, we are neighbors. I'm in Surfside!
kevwaw,
Sorry to hear about the panic attacks and anxiety. I was a heavy cannabis user for over 10 years until around the age of 27. I can attest it worsened my anxiety issues. I've had bad moments where I felt like I was going to pass out when I just wasn't in the right state of smoking it. Those were rare occasions. I noticed when I stopped smoking it for the first time, I started back and immediately experienced over-sensitive feelings.

That was some time ago, I didn't take the sertraline then because I felt kind of scared about it because I read it is an antidepresive and I'm not depressive. Later I talked about it with a couple psychiatrists on the internet and my psychiatrist, they all told me not to be scared about it, they told me it was just to help something related to serotonin.
We don't have medicinal mary jane where I'm at, but I do know that my husband takes an occasional toke to relieve his severe aches/pains/migrains...the same kind that pills were unable to achieve.

Hi, welcome to the forum, as rightly stated by Nikodicreta, there is no specific medical term for cannabis allergy. We can simply term it as ' cannabis allergy' or ' allergic to cannabis'. Hemp is not used commonly in medical practice.
I hope this helps. Take care and regards.
Some studies have shown that it can actually reverse the effects of cancer. Take a few moments and check out medical cannabis on google. You will find many many conditions that cannabis helps. Depression is one of the most common along with chronic pain. Stop bashing a natuar herb in favor of a chemical drug! Thats what got us all here in the first place!
Hi everyone. About 2 weeks ago my medication of Levothyroxine and Sertraline was increased to Levothyroxine 100 micro grams and Sertraline 50mg. About a week after starting these I got a positive pregnancy test (I took about 3 tests just to make sure lol). I have a midwife appointment tomorrow but my symptoms have been bare to none (Only cramping, tiredness and on/off headaches). I was wondering if any of these medications can effect a pregnancy test?
