If CBD oil works on severe cases then it’ll work on non severe cases. The big pharma pills cause personality disorders. The fertilizers are the cause of of majority of our illnesses. Organic CBD oil is the only choice.
What do you recommend I am currently on 3 med but they seem to not help. I have asked my nueroaligist abd cbd or tch and she does not to do it. What do you recommend, a second opinion, also is the thc and cbd smoked for temporary use only while at home.
I would have to say that one of the things cannabis use seems to help me with is dealing with the side effects of Keppra! I should be a little more diligent about keeping track of the ratios of THC to CBD in products I do use though.
I don't have epilepsy. I have been having a few ideopathic seizures over the past couple of years. I'm not entirely sure Keppra would be necessary for me. Any opinions anyone?
I remember about 16 or 17 I had my first alcohol experience and I mixed apple Smirnoff with soda and beer because it was my first time drinkin and wanted to look like I knew what I was doin the party was walking distance felt like alcohol poisoning by the time I arrived home some how I made it to my house and wham! I hit a blow to the head I think there’s even a small dent on the right corner of the hair line I also used to smoke hooka at about 17 and then I smoked Newport menthols for maybe a 2 to 3 years quit cold turkey but was still smoking marijuana @ 18 I went to a hotel party and someone laced my weed with Angel dust I thought I was just smoking a regular blunt but I wasn’t I could move for 2 hours I only could move my eye balls from left to right while laying on the bed then I kid u not I flew from my stomach all the way to the ceiling and everyone was laughing like it was fun or something I just acted like it was but it wasn’t I left I didn’t want to chill with to many crowds from there I’m 34 years old now and I take 1000 mg of keppra 500mg in the morning 500mg in the night I pray for everyone who has epilepsy or seizures I will say this when I smoke weed I do notice I can time my episode before it come so sporadic that way I can be quick to lay on the floor on my left side I guess with the blow to the head on my right side. It always has me wanting to turn to the right prayers up prayers real talk! 🙏🏾
I have been on keppra for 10 years, but had breakthrough absence seizures every few days. I was talking about this to an old guy on a train. He recommended palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). I’ve been taking 1600mg per day and haven’t had a breakthrough seizure for 26 months. And it’s cheaper than CBD.
I haven’t had seizures in 16 years and on my 18 birthday they came back had I been smoking weed when since like 8th grade but they don’t know why mine came back but I’m on 2 different seizures medications and but it do helps now how keppra makes you feel
Pot lets me have a half normal life. No license shit job. 4kids. Life is fucked. So its like my last straw before i leave this earth on my terms. I have a shotgun hidden for when ive had enough.
my son weight is 65 kg he is on Eptoin 300 mg in aday, lacosamide 200 mg in a day, Tab Lamitor DT 400 mg in aday, Tab cloba15 mg at night , Tab Risnia 5mg at night convulsions are still coming twice in a month
THC pode desencadear crise epilética? Minha filha tem 4 anos usa cbd sem thc . Eu não aguento mais ver ela tendo uma crise tônica 🥺🥺🥺 . O médico não aconselha da com thc, mais eu não sei mais o que fazer, ela usa um dispositivo chamado VNS . Mais mesmo assim ainda tem essa crise que é muito forte. Ela se contorce toda fica sem ar e chega a vomitar 🤮 😭😭😭. Não sei mais o que fazer .
I had a medical marijuana card in my young twenties but I never really used it because I found that weed made my seizures worse or it cause seizures. Does that mean epidiolex will not be beneficial to me? I’m asking because I want to try it.
I tell i am alleric to pot because i had anaphylaxis im a room full of vollege students smoking it ehile i was in college. Buy I also have epilepsy. So, I gess its a doublr need for me.
I have epilepsy and I used to dab and smoke lots of high THC weed. It always kept my seizures controlled even smoking the next day after a long night of drinking. I will say this though my seizures got way worse after I quit smoking weed.
What is your personal opinion on Epidyolex if you don’t mind sharing? I was hoping to get it for my epilepsy but it’s been only approved for certain children’s types epilepsy in the UK unfortunately. Also I’d be interested whether Epidyolex can be substituted by over the counter CBD oils (not as a medical advice but for educational purposes – I’m just trying to figure out why is Epidyolex so expensive). Thanks Doc
I grow my own cannabis with my acmpr license from the federal government. I know what they get fed and I keep them clean and it does a good job. The only difference is I smoke it. That seems to work the best. Thanks Dr
See with me and myou seizures, when I went to smoke a joint I all of a sudden got the the worst seizures of my life. 2 back to back that lasted about 10 minutes. Stiff as a bored. Shaking so bad and I became so strong with grip. I was not coherent. But I could still hear what they were saying in the back ground. This one was very weird…
I have epilepsy and been on all prescribed drugs. Marijuana holds back the frequency of seizures & side effects. Since 1994 at 17. In '96 voted to legalize it in CA prop. 215. Epilepsy is one of 3 conditions that marijuana can combat and not addicting like Rx
Hi Dr, you are all saying anti seizer medication is not good.. It will worse… So what is the exact treatment of epilepsy??? Evry doctor give valparin chrono, lamictal, keppra, some like medicine. Also said not miss any dose, also dr said these are all medication get worse… So that which treatment is good for seizures? Is doesn't go away once it affected?????
Without cannabis, my uncontrollable seizures would take over my life. I ised to have 20 or so seizures a day. Now, i have just a couple. I'm part of group of people with similar diagnosis. We all used cannabis in different forms. It presents itself differently in everyone, but it helps our conditions.

My neurologist prescribes me marijuana along with my medications. I grow it myself.
There are no side effects 😂

I just started using CBD oil a couple of days ago topically on my inner elbow, face and neck, hopefully it will help.
My recent seizure was on 19 November 2023.

The worst side effect is getting high. I hate that feeling.

Salam, it's garlic good to figth epilepsy?

I'm a bit late but would it be okay to smoke dispensary grade marijuana along with my 1000mg of extended release Keppra? Appreciate the knowledge.
I've been using tinctures and edibles lately and I've only had 1-2 smaller seizures since.. I was getting them multiple times a day before that.
There are still days where I have to take lorazepam, but those are only the really bad days and those don't happen near as often now.
I have epilepsy and I used to dab and smoke lots of high THC weed. It always kept my seizures controlled even smoking the next day after a long night of drinking. I will say this though my seizures got way worse after I quit smoking weed.
I would never use marijuana for my own epilpesy even if it was ever suggested I'd say hell no to it
How can ONE OBTAIN a medical marijuana rx to tx Epileptic Disorders?

Certain strains help,and certain strains can trigger a seizure, CBD like Charlotte's web can trigger

I've been taking anti-epileptic drugs for years. Can anti-epileptic drugs cause brain fog?
