I have been suffering from chronic pain and nerve damage in my groin for three years. I have had 4 surgeries and going on my 5th. I have been on all kinds of narcotics and nerve medications and nothing has touched the pain. After some research I found out about MARINOL and I've been taking it for about 3 months. It's pretty much been a maricle drug i can get through a day pretty much pain free i...
Does reduce some inflammation and pain, It does give you gas and some bloating, the worst thing its man made. I prefer to use medical marijuana as its organic and without chemicals. I do not trust the FDA or AMA they are connected to the government and illuminate.

I have a Brain Tumor and this drug helps me with headache and nausea. It is very effective also reserch suggests that marijuana helps slow tumor growth in the brain so maybe it helps with that as well I have never been tested for results from the marinol but it could be helping.

I have gastro parisis and use it to try and stop the nausea...I now have a j tube and it really helps with the nausea when I do my feedings..If I didnt have insurance I couldnt afford this medicine cause it would be like 750 for a months supply..I take 5 mg's twice a day..I still say the plant in it's natural form works the best....

I am using this to ease the side effects from interferon treatment. It really helps me regain my appetite, and lift my spirits. I understand thst it is basically pot, but I think it's time people wake up and see the medicinal uses the plant has. I reccomend this to anyone struggling with treatment.

I had cancer surgery to remove a lung, afterwards I was sick and could not eat, food made me nauseous. I had loss so much weight and was really weak. I was admitted on a Friday and by Saturday after taking the pill overnight, it was like night and day, I was feeling great! Absolutely no nausea and my appetite came back immediately. I recommend this pill if nothing else is working to increase your appetite and I thank my doctor for suggesting it.
