> an update: about 8 months ago i started seeing a new primary care physician. i told him of my less-than-successful attempt to get my (now ex-) pdoc to try out marinol with me. after speaking with my former psychiatrist in another state, my PCP did write me a prescription for marinol and has since renewed the prescription twice. my mood is MUCH improved, i'm sleeping better and am much more productive at work. i'm also just generally happier and optimistic and don't have to struggle with the overwhelming desire to shoot myself in the head. life is, indeed, better on marinol!!!
OMG that's so great! I've posted here before about marijuana, the best way I can explain it is it flips a switch in my brain. Something starts working that wasn't before. Unfortunetaly I can't control my consumption and my wife will be gone if she catches me again anyway.
I've been reading some stuff about ADHD and marijuana and apparently it can be an effective treatment for some.
