MMJ Interaction with Keppra
Fri, 04/08/2016 - 15:29Hello everyone - I've been browsing the threads and gathering info. I am considering trying out MMJ. What I've read it seems best to seek out Indica strains that are higher in CBD and lower in THC. While I'm aware it all basically comes down to body chemistry I wanted to check in and see who else is mixing cannabis and Keppra and what has been the effects. Thanks a bunch for your insight.

Tank- I agree totally about

Tank- I agree totally about sharing experiences- especially for newbies. I just don't want people thinking this should over ride a professional's advice. The latest news about CBD oil is that it does work best with more THC. I've smoked weed for over 45 years mainly on the advice of my !st neurologist. I was 17 in 1972 and there were all types of party drugs being used as well as alcohol. I was amazed at how bad alcohol could be for an epileptic so I asked what was better and was told that this was! I now have daily partials and recently tried out CBD oil it didn't help, but it does amazing things for others. I like to tell people about my epilepsy- the usual reaction is they or someone they new have it. I've asked others about CBD oil- one woman told me of her friend's daughter with cerebral palsy who could walk etc after her mom tried it for her! From what you've said I'm sure your aware that the effects of this is still being studied butI see no harm in trying it. Good Luck!

Please ask your neurologist about this for the right info about this. On this site you will only see opinions or maybe personal experiences not true medical expertise. Your epilepsy may be entirely different than another's and you need info catered to your condition which your neurologist knows best of all.
