I agree with Chris @santosha
Last I checked Epidiolex cost around $32,000 a year however there are Mayo members who are getting it at lower costs through programs from the manufacturer. Although copays vary, one person pays $25.00 a month. This medication is FDA approved for 2 Epilepsy syndromes, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome.
But I’ve heard some physicians give it for other Epilepsy conditions.
There is someone here with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and tried Epidiolex but it wasn’t as effective as non prescription CBD products.
If your doctor orders it ask if it’s a full spectrum product.
Like medications the effectiveness of CBD varies.
Take care,
Jake

I agree with Jake, @jakedduck1
The effectiveness of CBD can vary as conventional medications do. One has to try CBD to see the results he or she gets with it.
