Getting Medical Marijuana?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Since July 18 the Florida Office of Compassionate Use has had my application for medical marijuana authorization. Processing is supposed to take less than 30 days. What is other patients' experience?

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, yes, my marijuana application has been in since May and I have heard nothing at all. Told my doctor about it and he said he would check on it. That was last week, I have not heard anything yet. He said out of the 30 patients he has who have requested med. marijuana only one so far has gotten it. Says that there is a hugh backup with these applications. Good luck Bean

Could you explain more fully what you mean by well. What issues did it address?

I too use melatonin. I also take Mirtazapine at night. I have found that if I cut the Mirtazapine in half and take 1/2 with night meds. The other 1/2 I put into a medicine cup with a melatonin 10 mg. 1 acetaminophen pm's, a tramadol and 1/2 alprazolam. When I wake for any reason I take the rest of my Mirtazapine. If I am still awake in 30 minutes I take the rest.
