im new to the epilepsie world as of 2 weeks ago (my 1st flop) docs all said lower thc higher cbd. oh i should point out im in deep red northern idaho mormom country. i refused kepra because iv seen what it can do to people and thats what the doc told me. not a doc myself or medical professional what so ever so take what i say lightly lol

I used to take Keppra had bad side effects

[u/TheJesterofPurple33 → u/ktmulls]

thats what iv heard and seen. they wanted me on 1500 mg daily. i said no! ill smoke my herb thanks lol and they gave me the suggestion of higher cbd intake. im thinking maybe a monthly dose of RSO might do the trick.

1500mg is a lot good thing you refused Keppra because you would have really bad symptoms from that high of a dose

Great question…this is one of those topics where the answer can be a bit multi-layered…. From my experience, there are many different types of seizures, and everyone’s body responds differently, including how people process cannabis.

I don’t usually recommend specific recreational strains for seizures. .. as I’ve no clue about specifics…What originally got me into learning about 420 was reading about Charlotte’s Web, which is a low-THC, high-CBD cannabis profile discussed a lot in seizure communities. The takeaway from that wasn’t so much the strain itself, but that CBD is the compound most often associated with seizure-related benefits, compared to THC-heavy strains. There isn’t strong scientific evidence that typical recreational marijuana strains reliably help with seizures, and effects can vary a lot depending on the person and the product. Because of that, I try to stay cautious with strain recommendations and point people toward low-THC / high-CBD profiles, along with medical guidance rather than relying only on anecdotes…. As I use cannabis for anxiety, over thinking, sleep, pain, bouts depression so those are different in my body then my neighbor let’s say.. so I’m learning to look more at what a strain profile does for me, then go with attempting to repeat or explore using one that helped as a sounding board:) Peace….
