Canagirl,

I would say that most of us are, or have been, on combinations of meds. With your symptoms still being so severe I would think long and hard about weaning off Gabapentin. In your position I would be going the other way with meds that are proving to help even a little.

Dave.

I know... I might go back on. I just don't know how much gabapentin is helping. If I wean off I can see how much it's helping and if I need to I can go back on. I don't know... I just worry about long term side effects and the possibility that gabaoentin causes neuropathy. What if its making me worse? I know I shouldn't worry about these things, but I do.

Is there any harn in getting off and then going back on?

For the my users. How long does mj relief last? ( however much u get, I know some may get a little lessening and some complete lessening of their symptoms). Two hours? 4? 8?

Thanks

my take- You have not found enough relief from the tone of your posts to walk away from anything that is helping that has negligable side effects.

As far as relief, it is so individualized. Not just by strain or type (indica vs sativa) but the ever present individual chemistry. If I'd tread carefully on following any advise on dose/time frame due to this.

An example, you say?

20 years ago my twin brother came over. A friend and I were more practiced smokers. My twin thought he'd try to keep up. A fun panic attack later and a walk around the block he understood he didn't need an ambulance.

If you decide to continue to experiment on that path you will want to start a notebook or start keepung track in one you already have.

I hope to have access to medical when NYS goes live. I have good reason to believe it will be a useful tool for me. All of this is purely symptom management.

While I think you should continue to ask questions and educate yourself getting into how it will affect you is more unknown to everyone on the planet than you. From browsing Leafly.com (which makes sure to note none of anything is available to me, hah) Purple Haze has a nice high THC level. I'm not saying you should top out, but a three little bears approach may give you perspective.

Just don't pull a Maureen O'Dowd and eat a whole infused candy bar. If I were inclined to hold her as a bastion of intellect prior to that I'd have rethought that afterward.

For me it lasts about 3 hours.

Has anyone tried the Charlotte's Web strain? It's been gaining a lot of popularity in the mm world. I know you can order the oil extract from CWbotanicals but it's very expensive and not sure how effective it is.

I haven't tried that Specific strain but I've tried a similar strain that has no thc and high cbd. It didn't work well for me but I'll try it again Cus I only did it fur a day. I'm better on the low thc high cbd strain

I'm bummed that I live in a legal state & THC does not agree with me. I get very anxious, dizzy & nauseous, it seems to amplify my symptoms and 5 minutes feels like an hour, lol. I haven't tried the oil with just CBD.

I've read some literature that suggests ratio of cannabanoids can perhaps influence the side effects like that, but with it being so useless in the eyes of the federal government in scheduling it doesn't get tested out that well.

Of course, individual body chemistry comes into play as well. Maybe when it finalky gets studied well there can be jenng strain, because thc is decent analgesia for some people and for others as you know not worth it.

Have you ever tried just cbd oil? That's the only thing available to me since i'm not in a legal state. I was going to buy a vape pen and some oil but it's almost $100.
