Lyrica Marijuana Synergism

I recently started taking Lyrica 75mg tid for PNH from an exceptionally severe case of Shingles exacerbated by immune suppressants for Crohn's disease. I live in Oregon and have carried a medical marijuana card since the program began. I use strains that are very high in CBD, usually in a ratio range of 5/2 to 1/1. Pure CBD is not effective. I use vapor pens. My observation is that there is a very strong synergism between these medicines. The PHN pain has been my constant companion for a couple months now and only today was I able to get out of the house for a decent walk. Point being that if you have access to medical marijuana it could be a useful addition for pain relief and to perhaps help keep your Lyrica dose to a minimum.

While it is still illegal in most areas, it is very well known to help with many medical conditions, according to NIH reports, such as nerve pain (Shingles is one example), cancer pain, epilepsy, insomnia, anorexia, Bulimia, and mental health issues, just to name a few. While its given side effects are known to include dizziness, a high feeling, drowsiness, and munchies. It is also not addictive.

Personally, I have no idea why it is not legal for personal use in more areas, but I am not a doctor, or government official.

How are you doing, now?
