Between the Gabapentin and Simon's previous recommendation for some CBD oil, i'm able to function.

 

Are you using an oil you drop under your tongue?

If you don’t mind my asking what’s your dose of Gabapentin and how long before you had relief. I’ve had it prescribed for neuropathy, stabs, burning, etc., to no avail. Never thought it beneficial for real pain and spasms. Granted, I’m not a patient patient, more of a “ if one is good” type, that’s why they yanked the good stuff.

Yes sir......in fact, i learned through trial and error that you put a couple of drops under the tongue and just let it sit there to absorb. At first i was just putting it under the tongue, but the natural recourse of action is to swallow it.

 

The longer it sits under the tongue, the more it absorbs into the system........my son was showing me all of the tricks of the trade on oils.

In the beginning, my does was 300mg every 6 hours religiously, but gradually over time it is now 300mg every 12 hours.........and unfortunately, it will be this same dosage until the day i die.

Do you have issues with sleep?

There are folks out there infusing CBD oil with CBN (another cannabinoid) and the combination of the two won't knock you out but it can help you stay asleep. It's a good option for nighttime; just don't overuse it or you'll wake up to take a piss and realize you're stoned (it has a very little bit of THC in it).

Sleepings never been an issue unless i'm having a really bad day and then i need to take 3 regular strength Advil which acts as a muscle relaxer and i can mix those with the Gabapentin and the oil.

 

I mixed the oil with some edibles a couple of times (on advice from my buddy), but i can't even function if i do that..........just prop me in a corner with a drool cup.

I'm guessing your buddy has a significant tolerance for edibles and advised you to take waaaay more than you need. (do you know how many mgs you took?)

The THC will actually make the CBD more effective, but there's some trial and error involved to find the right dosage that's effective but won't zombify you.

I have no idea the dosage (this was a couple of years ago).

His wife was battling cancer for the longest time and when she passed away, he gave me all of her edibles and i'm guessing they were some fairly high dosages to offset her cancer pain......i actually think he was probably experimenting on me, to see how much the human body could withstand.

 

I tried the whole shebang a couple of times and i was ready for a wheelchair........i won't be doing that again.
