weed used to make me very paranoid and anxious,
triggered hallucinations.
I’m thinking that the antipsychotics i’m on would stop any potential problems?
maybe just wishful thinking. that and low THC, might just help.
maybe you’re right and i’m just trying to get high again,
but the way i see it,
i’d rather it was legal and weed,
than heroin.
i’m obviously struggling with the whole sober thing,
i know that. trying to use science and logic and the legality of marijuana
to justify my being a hopeless addict.
it’s a bad idea but it’s better than the alternative,
i’m trying really hard.
i’ll ask about naltrexone, i obviously have addiction problems.
is it just for alcoholism? or other addictions?

It’s designed for both alcohol and opiate addiction. It’s supposed to help both with cravings and it blocks them from working. One psychiatrist says it helps with all addictions including all drugs and gambling.
It’s just given me a lot of peace of mind about a lot of things and relaxes me and blocks cravings and has given me a thicker skin. I used to be MADLY insecure until I started this med. not saying u are like that but its been a little more than three years now on this med my quality of life is way improved and I don’t do all these scary drugs mixing with meds anymore.
I think it’s worth a try for any addict trying hard to be clean.

I mean it definitely works for me. In November of 2015 right before I started it I was trying Vicodin and kratom and thinking about buying percs or something but once I started naltrexone not only could I have the thought in my head that I can’t do it. But honestly, I used to crave opiates before I ever did them just based on the idea of getting messed up. Well now I don’t crave that idea any longer at all. Haven’t been tempted to do opiates by any means. It could be tougher for u because that was one of your DOC’s but I think it could help at the least. But ask your doc if you’re up for it.

i’m going to try it xx or at the very least ask. sounds perfect. i’m wildly insecure too, i think that’s where the drug use and escape comes in. it’d be nice to have some relief from that.
hard though since i haven’t actually admitted to anyone how bad i messed up.
i don’t want my psyciatrist to know but hopefully she’ll understand .
thanks you

Just say you’ve been craving it and it’s been difficult and someone told you it could help with cravings. Good luck!! I could tell you’re really trying to stay in recovery which is amazing

I get too paranoid with marijuana. Tried the medical vape oil and it was a strong high after 3 hits, got rid of my arthritis pain totally BUT I was so paranoid I won’t touch anything with a lot of THC again.
I can get plenty of CBD oils and vape juice without the thc so I’m not going to go for a medical version again.
My husband is getting his med card soon. He has an appointment with the neurology clinic the gives the medical cards and has a dispensary.
does the CBD oil help at all?

It helps a lot with pain. Stronger is better. It is expensive but works far better than most narcotics for pain. The pain is just gone.

You need low dose THC indeed, only 1 drop will be enough 1 or 2 if you take more psychosis will worsen
also ive read a patient who took it had 80% improvement lookup green leaf medical

a little bit yes i took it months
i dont wanna give false hope im on Saphris but i never tried Medical RX just CBD oil
I use it instead of the benzos I’ve been on for years and as long as I take my antipsychotics I haven’t had issues. However, I think it’s a slippery slope playing with psychosis. If it causes issues for you, stay away from it. If you can honestly say it doesn’t cause issues for you, I think there are definitely worse drugs for anxiety and depression.
