marinol

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?
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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. THC in the brain works on the cannaboid system, making it a unique drug with many untouched applications. Marinol takes 2.5-3 hours to be absorbed and have an effect. The effects last only about 3 hours. See below for details on this limitation. I am a PhD scientist and engineer with cancer, autoimmune and have bipolar.

Avatar f tn I've read about some people diagnosed with ADD taking marinol as a form of medication. I was wondering what effects it would have when taken with adderall, or as a replacement for other meds. What sort of side effects, and/or lack of side effects to make other meds more effective.
Avatar f tn m hoping todays test is negative but does anyone know why it increased even after stopping smoking. My Dr. was extremely rude about it and told me I had to still be using. Anyone who could offer any advice or insight I would appreciate it greatly.
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 f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Is it of your opinion that Marinol can be an alternative drug to treat Multiple Sclerosis? I cannot handle shots, and I know there are many side effects from the shots.
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.
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?
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.
1499589 tn?1289162281 I recently went to see the nurse for a teaching session (injections) and told her that I have been using Marijuana to help with my insomnia and anxiety toward treatment, I also told her that it seemed like a good idea to use it to combat side effects from tx such as nausea,loss of appetite.... I was told to stop smoking imm. and to start taking Ambien or Trazadone. I have taken both of those meds before and did not like the side effects.
Avatar f tn Is Marinol pills good to use in kids who have seizures from Chiari malformation type 1
Avatar m tn Does anyone know of any data regarding pot smoking during triple with incivek? I'm thinking that it could help with the nausea and other side effects?
Avatar m tn While I don’t have the particulars to your study, by guess is that if they find you’re smoking pot, it’ll be a deal breaker. You should have copies of study documents; read through them carefully, and consider the implications. There is a pretty large body of evidence from controlled scholarly studies that suggests heavy marijuana use increases hepatic fibrosis, too. What is disputed is the definition of ‘heavy’; would a puff or two now and then cause harm?
Avatar f tn m 37 weeks now, and the only things I did when TTC was take Folic Acid, my partner took Zinc tablets, and we both quit smoking cigarettes, tried to eat better, he ate more red meats, wore looser bottoms, we cut caffeine out especially things like energy drinks, and soda (said to cut fertility) but we did our research, lol it worked though. Good luck to you!
1056851 tn?1318720978 Maybe you're thinking of Marinol? That's all well and good, but how do we know the beneficial chemicals from cannabis are in Marinol? Personally I think the creation of a 'prescription' from cannabis is just a way to throw money at the drug manufacturers. Recently a drug manufacturer was allowed to start making a drug for expectant mothers that was supposed to help prevent premature births. Previously the pharmacies would create a compound, and the drug cost $15 per dose.
Avatar f tn HI Michele, I had to stop triple therapy at end of 19 weeks due to side effects. I am at week 21. I have to admit I thought the side effects would go away after tx stopped, never expected some to get worse and others to return. At about week 17 I started to get the same edema of face, hands & feet. With the same rash you describe and my hair is also about 80% gone with more falling out daily just by touch. My skin is itchy and , I have cracks on my feet & hands feel like sandpaper.
