For particularly bad spasms I am prescribed 2 at a time. It takes about 40 minutes to become effective, although I have heard that it may be possible to smoke them in a glass pipe, for immediate relief. But even having to wait 40 minutes or so, it’s the most effective medicine I have ever had for these CNS induced spasms. Of course, Marinol cannot be used while driving, etc. The good news is that, if I take it in the evening, I am completely clearheaded by morning.
