I want to be treated my seizures by only CBD oil, as it is organic only, is it possible?
I would not, because you would not know the strength. I never used Pot because it would interact with my meds. I do not drink alcohol for the same reason. Speak to your Neurologist or if you can find someone who specializes in Epilepsy.

It depends entirely on how your seizures react to it, and whether you need the medication as well. It would probably depend upon where in your brain the seizures start or how often you have symptoms. Ask your doctor what they think because they have probably seen the structure of your brain on scans and the activity on EEGs.
Also, once off the meds, if you and your doctor need to start treatment again, it’s a long process back to control them. But in the end it is up to you to decide.
I asked my doctor about Epidolex, and he had never heard about it - even though it is advertised when I check in for my appointments. I am "controlled" but still having activity.
Hi Anwar,
In my opinion, I think Kathryn13 made an accurate comment. One of the most important factors re: CBD success depends on brain location of seizure activity. Next - does seizure activity move to other brain locations? These are 2 key questions that impact an accurate answer. Hopefully you have a competent, experienced epileptologist that can provide insight to these key questions. Good luck my friend.
I would not trust the CBD oil, because I do not know how much or what is in it. I have never used Marijuana. I did drink when I was in College, but only by nursing 2 drinks of Tom Collins for 4 months or more. I also drank soda.
