I’m not with the side effects caused by my pharmaceutical medications.
Feeling tired is only the start of my issues. Some of my medications cause me to feel dizzy and give me severe headaches. Others will sometimes result in me breaking out in a red, itchy rash. I was prescribed a drug that made me suffer from nausea every single time I took it. I tried taking it on a full stomach with no improvement. I have so many side effects due to my pharmaceutical medications that it’s difficult to separate my medical symptoms from them. I worry about the long-term impact on my health. It’s a stressful process of trying to decide what came first, my medical problems or the drugs. Several of the medications that are for anxiety problems are actually addictive. I need some help with my depression and anxiety, but I’m not prepared to trade off my future health. I don’t like the strength of the dosage or the length of time I am expected to take these medications. Fortunately, a close friend of mine recommended that I try medical marijuana. She told me about studies that have been done testing the effects of THC and CBD. The CBD isn’t intoxicating or psychoactive. Cannabis is entirely natural and no one has ever overdosed on it. CBD is being used to treat mental ailments similar to mine. It has shown promise in treating physical pain, epilepsy, PTSD and nerve destruction. CBD is legal in all 50 states. There are high quality CBD products available over the internet. I am fortunate that recreational and medical marijuana are now legal in my state. I am able to visit a local dispensary or even have the cannabis products delivered right to my home.
