PPS- I have only used marijuana at night in a small amount bc I was not eating at all or sleeping. After I would be able to eat half a meal maybe (I’ve had no appetite) and i would be able to sleep for a few hours. It made my headache partially subside for a couple hours but doesn’t at all take away all symptoms. I was limiting myself to once a day at night bc I’m not by any means a regular marijuana user. My friend was very worried about me and recommended it. I am a 41 year old, college educated, married, professional woman. I used to judge people that used marijuana though it’s legal widely now. No more. I think these doctors need to evaluate it and use it as a first line treatment effort BEFORE they are allowed to prescribe addictive pills.
No wonder we have so many people addicted to heroin after taking addictive pills.
After going through this withdrawal experience personally, I think that marijuana could likely be very effective as an aid in treating many withdrawal symptoms, whether from prescription medications or illegal drugs.
