Your doctor wouldn't know. She does not prescribe marijuana. If the changed, and she were able to prescribe it, she still wouldn't know. Marijuana is a drug, but it is a 'crude' drug. Being unrefined it may have x or y percent of a few known compounds, and many unknown compounds. It is hard to prescribe a mixture of some of this and part of that (so-to-speak). Also she could be sued. This is a big issue. "What, you mean you have prescribing a lot of unknowns on my client? Experimenting on people  ????!!  Am I ever going to sue you!! I won't send you to prison, where is were you ought to go. Out of considersion for humanity, I'll just take money instead."

I am on 50 mg twice a day and have smoked weed for years. No difference here at all. To each his own but I find it hard to believe it would make you feel weird. It takes a few weeks to adjust to any new pill. Did anyone ever think that that was what it was and not the marijuana.

Yeah I highly recommend

Yeah I highly recommend avoiding mixing topamax and marijuana. I took 200 mg of topamax and then hit a dab cart two days later (a combination of white widow and northern lights). I had a whole hallucination where I thought that I disrupted class and every sound I heard was replaced with blues clues sound effects. I almost got caught. Don't do it. Please
