I've never used it but I read stories about people who have and everyone who has has done well.

I spoke with my medical team and was told that Onfi doesn't mix well w medical marijuana. I'm current taking a high dose of that as well as Briviact, Banzel and Lyrica for my seizures.

I currently use the marijuana on-top of my AEDs. I noticed the "intensity" has reduced. I still have seizures but not grand-mal. occasional jerking is annoying at times but I'd rather twitch vs. stiches, scars, soreness galore. There are various ways to use so you have to find the right combination. Smoking the plant, oil extracts, edibles etc. With marijuana there is no exact dosage system so you have to find how much of what product works out best for you.

I did and she disagrees with it, but my mother went let it go. She's been pushing it.
