Every couple of years I have seizures then my Dr wants to try something new or ups the dosage. The meds I'm on now are making me dizzy and off balance
Interested to know people's experiences on using medicinal cannabis prescribed by their consultant especially people in the UK.Info from the US members would be useful I have uncontrolled partial seizures which turn into status for 24hours +.

Hum I wonder if addiction is on that list of side effects? Or the term dependency? I'm just curious. Seems that side effect gets missed sometimes.
This is a general question of public opinion. I myself always assumed it was, but apparently it's not at least according to Social Security in Indiana that is. I finally decided to apply b/c someone else I know receives disability do to having seizures which started after an aneurysm they also happen to work as well.

I am on disability for seizures. I can’t work because I’ve had them since I was a kid so they’re preexisting. We’re not able to do several things normal people can.
