Thanks for the information Jake. I was doing some research and Epidiolex kept coming up. I don't have any knowledge on this type of treatment and was really surprised that the neurologists office does the medical marijuana certification but that the doctor who approves the card does not discuss dosing. I was told to go to a dispensary. I left a message for my son's neurologist and her assistant got back to me and stated she (the neuro) was not familiar with dosing and could not provide recommendations (even though she's the one who said we should start CBD/med marijuana. Thanks for the links in both posts. I will definitely be looking into those. I am sorry to hear that your having so many seizures. They really are scary and the treatment meds side effects are just as scary. My son has enough medications...I don't want to keep adding more, especially since he's non-verbal and can't tell me if he's having side effects.

Epidiolex is CBD and is not psychoactive. The pharmaceutical med isn't cleaned with chemicals. I'm the dispensary they are. I have my medical card. It's is much safer than meds. I would talk to another doctor. I think it is the last one on the list to try. I'm not sure. But, I just was put on it so I'll let you know how it works for me. I would rather have child or myself on Epidiolex instead of the man made chemicals they have me on. Hope this works and I hope it helps. I do honestly think it's an insurance issue. Makes me angry. They did have to call for prior approval. I would ask the doc and then if your questions aren't answered or you feel uncomfortable see someone else. That's not right that you aren't listened to.
