Grand mal seizures are the same as tonic clinic. I’m seeing a neurologist next week and am interested in the fastest most effective medicines that have worked for those with the same issue.
My doctor has tried signing me up for the new Epidiolex CBD Oil. I have questions on these topics. Have any of you tried the new Epidiolex and haven't or had any seizures while taking this? What is the difference between this specific "Epidiolex" and other CBD Oils that could be offered?
I was taking a medication when being treated for Breast Cancer. Whatever the AED was, the Cancer doctor had to prescribe the chemo and radiation again. To replace what I was taking, Onfi (Clobazam)… read more
Hi I just got approved for my medical marijuana card for epilepsy and I have no idea how to use it for medical purposes. Does anyone else use it? And what do you use Capsules, flower, extract etc. And what strain/percentage of thc to cbd?
I have been taking Epidiolex, which does not have the THC in it. I know the dose I am taking. That makes me feel better.

How much CBD should we take for epilepsy? How much should we take and how long does it take To kick in?

I've been taking 600mg Zonisamide and 6mg Fycompa for a few years and still having seizure from time to time. A month ago I added .5 CBD oil in the am and pm. It had been 6 weeks ALL GOOD but then I had another seizure!!! Does that mean the medical marijuana isn't working?
As an addendum... I am still on keppra and gabapentin but much, much smaller amounts! I am also off 5 other prescription medications I was on for pain and autoimmune disorder.
I know I ask the most acquired and random questions lol. Its just that marijuana is the only thing that controls my seizures and the only part about it is I hate the high part. Im just wondering if I can find something that just has CBD in it if thats the part that controls our seizures.
Hello Everyone,
I would like to know if any of you use marijuana instead of medication. Do you feel stoned and unable to do your daily things? I was diagnosed with epilepsy November 2022. I have tried 5 different medications and now the Dr wants me to try another. I can not stand the way they make me feel!
Thank You,

Yes, you have to get it from a medical Marijuana place that way they know what you need to not make you paranoid or in the couch not being able to get chores done.
I know it can help with epilepsy, 23years ago my rollups fags was spiked with cannabis, and it helped control my seizures, even though I never knew it was in them, I found out I was seeing a drug addict, so I left him after a 4 week, relationship. But now I wish I could have it legally.
Actually I have not asked for it yet, next time I see them I will if I remember. Thanks, Take care.
