I am currently on the hunt to switch to cbd oil and nix my pills. I'm sick of the side effects and damage it does to your body. I heard it was like three hundred dollars but someone I know who goes to a local dispensary looked in there and told me it's only 30 dollars. I want to know all about the oil. How well does it work. How much do you use how often. I know not to get hemp kind I am wondering us there a specific kind we need to get being epikeptics?
There is a great site you can look into. https://www.theroc.us/ Realm of Caring. They have great people working there that can help with any questions you have with CBD oil. I am currently weening myself off of one of my meds (Keppra) so I can try the CBD oil as well. Hope this helps!
I know people say it's not a cure but I remember when I was fifteen/sixteen I went to line with my dad and I smoked a lot of pot. I didn't have a seizure the whole time I lived with him for over a year and was on no meds. Now I'm older and don't want to be some pot head or do that but I heard the oil works better for seizures than that and doesn't get you "high" you just put a drop under your tongue or something. I'm thinking it could work for me. I'm so sick of the meds. I don't want my hair to fall out or my teeth. I don't like having zits on my face or being tired and moody I don't like the possible organ damage it could be doing or the anxiety it causes. I'd like to know from people who use it, like how do you use it one drop a couple times a day? If you feel one coming on will it possibly stop that? Is there different strengths or do you just have to take more drops for a bigger dosage?
My daughter is in a trial study for CBD oil. She has had some success but it hasn't been the cure I hoped for. Some of the other patients have had better success with it. Good luck!
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member - I just applied for and am awaiting my medical ID for Medical Marijuana. Stay in touch with me and I'll let you know if I use it (depends on cost) and how it works.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Happy Birthday!!! and Yes, I so, want to try the Medical marijuana. With the cbd oil if they were to slip it into a capsule, I would be fine with that. Maybe even take it like cough medicine. I just totally disagree with the for fun use of it.
