Can I Completly Replace My Keppra With Medical Marijuana?

Don't know who your neurologist is, but I used to go to neurology at Geisinger Medical Center by Danville, PA. In addition, learned of Evangelical Medical in Lewisburg having neurologists, but have no experience with them. Williamsport should have neurologists on High Street, but never tried to see what experience they have. Although I have friends and relatives in Northumberland County, have no knowledge of the neurologists there. As much as Geisinger has expanded, one of their branches may be near or in Milton, yet a neurologist may be doubtful. Further distance may be necessary, like Luzerne or Lackawanna counties north or Dauphin County south. May God be with you and good luck in your search for a very new medication oriented PA neurologist. ☺

This question requires proper medical training and an analysis of each individual's medical position in the relatively new medical marijuana in Pennsylvania. Use of cannabis oil in control of seizures has gained grounds, especially for the young, in several articles I've read, but without the education and knowledge of your personal medical position, no solid answer of your question exists, here. May God be with you in finding your answer and life.

Thank you everyone for replying. My current nurologist does not support the use of medical marijuana. Claiming that there is zero proof of it's effectiveness. This is completely false! I'm searching for a new nurologist whom is more open to the treatment I prefer to be on.
