| 5 | Pain | Happy, lack of pain! | Had self medicated (Pain) for years with nothing but smoking or vapeing green bud. Once I finally went to a pain doctor and in redding the small print in the pain program agreement found that I couldn't self medicate any longer: it would be evident in a random urine screen and I would be kicked out of the program. I stuck with the program through about 25 different combinations and landed on Roxycodone and Methadone along with as-much acetaminophen and naproxen as my liver could take This worked / works for the most part I worry about my long term exposure too acetaminophen and naproxen, in everything I have read, long term (3+ ) years or more experientially raises my chances of dieing of a hart attack or liver poisoning. In discussing my findings with my doctor we decided that Marinol would be a good choice to try. I have been on Marinol now for about 8 months and have reduced my usage of Narcotics, Methadone, and the other garbage, as anyone knows who has been on opiates; an | M | 35 | 8 months | 1/15/2009 | 5 | Severe chronic neuropathic pain | No apparent side effects | Marinol provides me with significant pain relief. Taken in conjunction with 400mg. Lyrica daily, I'm feeling much better than I was when taking Morphine and it's deritives. | M | 58 | 2 days | 12/9/2008 | 3 | crohn's disease | tired | I lost 20lbs in 14 days at the hospital. Needed for appetite stimulation. | M | 27 | 2 months | 9/24/2008 | 5 | chemo | it's very pretty - like a little orb and who wouldn't want to swallow a pretty little orb? i was baked out of my mind for almost 8 hours - but a good baked. better that the real thing because a) no coughing b) no one knows that you've taken it because there is no obvious pot smell 3) lasts a very looooooong time and 4) i can't remember the 4th point i was going to make... i only took 2 doses of this during 18 weeks of chemo and now just have it in case i want to take it for fun! | F | 42 | 2 days | 7/8/2007 | 5 | early on set Dystonia | none | I love feeling relaxed because Dystonia keeps my muscles all in knots. before I started Marinol I was in extreme pain from my muscles being in continuous motion and it is like my body could never relax. My muscles would tighten up on me to the point of a full body charley horse. The benefits out weigh any feeling of being high at I may experience. Medicaid even covers my monthly prescription. | M | 35 | 4 years | 10/30/2006 | 5 | tourretts,nausea,vomiting,pain etc. | pretty high after gradual onset of 4 hours.came back doun and did great.leveled out. | I like the fact that it came on slowly so I was very comfortable,stopped all pain and nausea more than fentanyl and I didn't have to smoke it,so I didnt burn my lungs and can take it anywhere in my wallet. Works as good as pot.more legal because it a prescription. | M | 45 | 1 days | 9/5/2006 | 5 | ADHD | Euphoria, lots of laughter, light hallucinations, both audible and visual, Very much like being baked out of your mind. | When i started with 5mg Marinal, It had the relaxing effect of one hit., this is most likely what my doctor intended. I however, requested it to be upped to 10mg, which is what I take now, because I prefer to do so once a day at night. This causes severe personalization. (If you are watching TV, it gives you the feeling of being in the situation), occaisionaly some mild hallucinations, but a generally good time. On several occaisions, if I do not go to bed within a few hours, a SEVERE state of paranoia occurs. The feeling of sensing other people that aren't there. This however, is rare. | F | 21 | 1 years | 5/31/2006 | 5 | ADHD | Euphoria, lots of laughter, light hallucinations, both audible and visual, Very much like being baked out of your mind. | When i started with 5mg Marinol, It had the relaxing effect of one hit., this is most likely what my doctor intended.

Relieves depression and most pain. | F | 55 | 6 months | 4/24/2006 | 1 | nausea due to chemo treatments | panic, feeling of time warp, depersonalization, I didn't know who I was, if I was speaking, where I was. I thought I was going to die. I ended up in my bed and I don't know how I got there. | Would never take this again. | F | 53 | 1 times | 11/10/2005 | 4 | chronic pain/SCI | M | 48 | 5 weeks | 10/17/2005 | 1 | HIV/lack of appetite | extreme nausea and vomiting and apathy. | It and the real deal makes me extremely sick at my stomach. I have never had anything to make me as sick. It also makes me not care about anything. I didn't care about taking my medications. Someone had to watch me and make sure that I took them. I let all my work, housework, bill paying etc. just go. I couldn't finish anything that I had started. So, I had to get off of it as it would have ruined my life. | M | 41 | 2 months | 8/31/2005 | 5 | Crohns Disease | NONE. | Used this to justify the Cannabis which shows up in my urine tests. I take morphine sulfate, and use Cannabis for nausea and pain. My doc. does drug test to ensure I am using the morphine. Cannabis shows up every time, but doc. understands why, and has no problem with me using real deal. Just So Doc. not get in problems with DEA.... Doc scripted this so that it would justify the Cannabis Showing up, as cannabis is not legal in my state yet.... BOO-HOO. Would be cool though if it was covered under my prescription insurance, or could get at pharmacy. Smoke the real thing if you can get it. Lungs are side effect of smoking, but it does wonders for us chronic nausea suffers, and acute pain fighters. I am able to even put on a few pound from eating much more as a result, when/if I have some. Too bad we have to take a real trip to like another country that is, just to be legal in using it. Good idea though, just watch out for the dogs on the way back, if you light up before you get on the plane home. Not implying in any way to attempt to bring this back to U.S., only saying if you smoke one before you get on the plane, the drug dogs will be all over you. Don't have to smoke either, can be baked into foods, or if you really into it, can eat it right off the stem.... | M | 33 | 1 times | 7/6/2005 | 5 | pain releif | M | 40 | 7 days | 12/20/2004 | 5 | Depression. | Euphoria and energy with a goofy feeling. | It's been a life saver in treating my depression I've tried other treatments in the past, but this is the only one thats worked. I take 10mg.s of marinol five times a day. | M | 48 | 3 years | 11/13/2004 | 5 | Nasea, Rating on some ones behalf. | Extream vertigo, Euphoria, Prolonged laughter, Enjoyable visual and aditory hallucinations, The feeling of flying threw outer space, after sounds. < But all the side effect were fun thats the weird thing. | Very odd medicine. Nasea/vomiting was virtually eliminated, but a state of vertigo/floating set in wile it had an antinaseating effect. | M | 23 | 4 months | 11/7/2004 | 3 | migraine related nausea | Mostly being tired. | Marinol took over 1 hour to work after each dose. Also, I constantly felt tired. Otherwise, not a bad alternative to Compazine. | M | 34 | 5 days | 9/17/2004 | 4 | bad pains | none | M | 44 | | 2/23/2004 | 5 | cancer | slight uforia | helped prevent vomiting and helped me relax | M | 69 | 2 weeks | 11/30/2001 |
