I have neck/back pain and blind in my left eye due to a car accident when I was 17 years old. Also, I have sleep apnea and have been on and off of many medications including smoking marijuana on a daily basis to control the pain. Oxycodone 5mg which I break in half depending on the level of pain up to 4 times a day. Sometimes I take 2.5mg of valium to help with muscle aches and pain. After taking 10mg once a day of Marinol for 2 weeks I have completely stopped smoking marijuana and cut in half all the other medications including over the counter stuff. It is different and I don't get the really high feeling but just relaxing and calm. Really helps with the muscle spasms and overall constant pain and lasts almost all day long. This has really been a life-changing drug for me. I do believe I will ask to get the 5mg dose so I can take it twice a day to balance it out. It may not be good for everyone but it is working for me. I have had sleep apnea for 30 years and use CPAP nightly. Never have I had sleep like this I actually went into REM sleeping and dreaming. I have not dreamed in years because I never reached REM sleep. I feel so much better in the mornings and all day just because I was able to sleep all night. Absolute the best medication I have ever been on period! I hope this helps everyone as this is the truth it works for me. More Doctors need to give this a try on their patients for sure.

I have been under Pain Management for 18 years as a result of a neck surgery gone bad. Although I have been prescribed MANY narcotics over the years, the most effective and least incapacitating treatment - hydrocodone & marijuana. I no longer smoke pot & find dorabanol (sic) an acceptable (though not NEARLY as effective) substitute. There needs to be more research on the pain relieving pro ... Show Full Comment

I no longer smoke pot & find dorabanol (sic) an acceptable (though not NEARLY as effective) substitute. There needs to be more research on the pain relieving properties of marijuana - not just THC. There are many other elements in marijuana that will prove to have as many if not more uses than just THC.
