@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member this epidiolex is just cbd oil (a part of the marijuana plant). there is different amounts. anyway, i take another cbd oil called koi (like the fish). 500mg and a 1/2 a measuring dropper every night (with meds). it works wonders. i used to have um a couple a day. now i am seizure free (if i take my oil). no side effects.

I'm on Epidiolex. My doctor just raised my dose on that medication. The only side effect I encountered was sleepiness but that was until my body got used to the increase dosage of medicine

I have never heard of it go to Web MD and look it up

@Churcham. I can tell you from professional experience (14 years doing interlibrary loan work for Massachusetts General Hospital--and getting at least article, chapter, book, etc. request filled for MGH doctors from sources on 6 of the 7 continents--no filling requests down in Antarctica) that PDR is fine if you don't have access to the Internet. However, the US National Library of Medicine has everything that PDR has and much more and up-to-date (NLM is the first institution in the USA to get copies of every medical resource and those of the biomedical sources).

Cburcham:
IF you can try to obtain a copy of "Physician's Desk Reference" or "PDR"
It's the book every doctor has to pescribe medications from.
Going to get a copy myself, as my husband & I are on so many medications.
