AFAIK, at this time, PM is an off-label use for Marinol, and because of the current political climate many physicians (including PM docs) may be hesitant to prescribe it for that purpose. It's effectiveness for PM seems to be mixed; some patients have reported that it helps and others have reported that it actually makes their pain worse (I do not have any numbers or percentages).

You can learn more by googling: "marinol for pain management" (include the quotes)

HTH,

Doc
