My interest in it is because my health care insurance just listed it as a covered drug, with a co-pay of $40/month, much cheaper than what I'm spending on CBD right now. At one time my epileptologist told me that in the clinic and hospital he starts with 150mg twice a day. Lamictal is what I use right now, but I was hoping the CBD side effects would be less brutal than the Lamictal. The CBD didn't worsen the side effects of the Lamictal once I started using it. I have problems with fatigue, loss of dexterity and fine motor control, and memory loss. I want as much of the "old me" back as possible.

I think Epidiolex is a an isolate cbd so they filter out some of the cannabinoids as well as the thc that gets you high. You can buy broad spectrum cbd that has all the cannabinoids, but not the thc. I use the broad spectrum

Bryan, what dosage are you using?
