Unfortunately, according to my own experience, not many doctors are yet up to date on CBD-based treatments for epilepsy: it's still a relatively new area for many neurologists and epileptologists.
Since Epidiolex isn't yet available in Brazil, I take the same active compound under a different pharmaceutical brand.
Out of curiosity, is Epidiolex already available in Australia?
Wishing you the very best for your second appointment with your GP!

@santosha Thank you, Yes it was passed by the TGA apparently in 2020.
