There is one you can ask your neurologist about it. I was the 5th pt at my hospital to be put on it. I love it bc it controls my seizures and helps with my mood. Just don't go cold turkey off of any cbd. And epidioloex is made for specific seizures but may work for others. So can't hurt to ask.

That's so good to know. I use an organic CBD 3 times a day and feel it's doing a great job! I look forward to a CBD that's developed especially for Epilepsy. Blessing to All♡

It has helped me. I was always a non-smoker and with more than a few trips to the ER and hospital stays, the doctors and nurses have recommended trying weed. Now my PCP wants me to do the gummies, but they are not as effective as smoking.

That's why I Always say thc and cbd is not for everyone. Mine is fda approved for specific seizure types. I will never promote a specific drug and I especially will never promote anything herb for seizures.

I have done my schooling at a research hospital and there is no evidence that THC does. I'm on epidiolex the only fda approved cbd and it helps but the withdrawals when the pharmacy doesn't get my pior auth is scary!
