I know this is a kind of old thread, but I take Marinol! I use it off label for pain, seizures, and nausea. Prior to that I was on Cesamet, a synthetic cannabinoid that was taken off the market for some reason. Feel free to ask questions if anyone has any.
Preemptive answers to two questions that will probably come up: It's no where near as effective as eaten or smoked medical marijuana. It's available in a generic, so it's inexpensive. |

It appears, however, that the Internet says it's still available... I wonder what's up? My insurance website says that it costs $50 for my previous prescription, so I'll ask my doctor if something's changed! If it has, I have an immeasurable amount of gratitude towards you. ![]() |

I can't edit my post because they're moderated due to my post count, but I also recall my doctor calling a pharmacist friend to ask him about the availability of Cesamet. (I was with him in his office, so I heard the call on speakerphone.) The pharmacist also looked it up and saw that it wasn't available. Could it have been/be related to my insurance--or perhaps my location? My doctor is in Kew Gardens, NYC and I live just south of Newark, NJ, if that helps. (Though I just looked at the FDA approval history and see no mention of any changes since 2008.)

"Unavailable" is different than "off the market" (not disbelieving what you say you were told!
