Hello, I am 39y old F, with chronic intractable migraines (usually 25+ episodes per month), neck, shoulder, lower back pain, and sciatic pain on my left side. The pain and frequency of migraines have only gotten worse as I’ve gotten older.
I also have insomnia, currently, my pattern is to go 2-3 days without sleep before I crash, then I’ll sleep for 6-10 hours with interruptions. I I’ve always had a problem with falling and staying asleep.
I’ve recently purchased 1 gram of Indica cannabis distillate in syringe form for oral consumption, what dosage amount would you recommend starting out at for treating the insomnia?
Any help or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
Interesting that severe vs mild is treated differently. I have severe for 20 years. Long time to fall asleep. Never stay asleep for more than an hour. Anxiety all day. What would you recommend? I am 62. Thanks
I am very surprised as a doctor, you would just “breeze” so innocently over Sleep apnea like it’s nothing when it’s such a serious topic for those that have obstructive sleep apnea due to being overweight or due to an ANATOMICAL real reason such as throat collapsing and blocking the airway. I’m sorry, but for these patients with physical problems that cause sleep apnea, a CPAP machine is needed. Marijuana, THC won’t do a single thing for these patients. I find it a bit irresponsible on your part as a physician to gloss over this. Now, having said that, I would agree that cannabis THC does help with sleep for those people who don’t have sleep apnea, but do have insomnia.
the last 3 nights I smoked weed before going to bed and literally it's the fastest I've ever fallen asleep. Even on good days the quickest I can manage to fall asleep is like 15 minutes… this felt nearly instant. All I remember is putting my head down, thinking about something for like 5 minutes and I was out. I have on and off problems with sleep, usually due to stress and inability to relax. When I do have these problems I typically turned to alcohol, but funnily enough, it just made me excited and in the mood to listen to music/drunk text. Weed on the other hand, does not make me sociable or excited. I just want to relax and typically go to bed.
Yeas which is best for sleep? Indica or sativa? As I've commonly heard indica for sleep. Anf idk cuz I have severe and even with pot cuz of opiate WD I CAN'T sleep n omg I hate it. But I try hybrid and both or 1 after like evening time I switch to indica but whrn I have sativa I can't feel it when I have both lol. Very strange I get so used to A strain I need a lot of them to play trick on my tolerance or I don't have a well enough understanding of which is best for sleep? Indica or sativa or even hyb? I hear conflicting reports.
As I did not go to a doctor to complain about not getting enough sleep in my younger years(just thought it was normal I guess) I found marijuana at 16yrs old and haven't looked back,because irreversible damage was done in my early years,I didn't need a doctor to tell me damage was done,I lived through it and my brain found its own coping mechanism in marijuana but the stigma surrounding this natural medicine was so great I felt like I was walking on egg shells the whole time as this medicine was not excepted by my family or anyone else I held in high regard so for my own health I had to go against the grain and my Dad died not knowing what was wrong with his youngest son,that is the only regret I have about taking care of my own mental health,after saying that I do not recommend this to anyone now that there is so much research into this miracle plant and thank everyone that are trying to educate the population
It's 2:30am, I haven't slept since 9am yesterday, still wide awake even though I've been prescribed Trazadone for the past month. My Dr. Is open to medicinal marijuana and cannabinoids so I've been looking into what other experts have to say and I have to admit you give good logic. I've tried medicinal Rainbow shatter my cousin gave me for a X-Mas gift 3 nights last week and it worked amazingly.
I used to be a chronic user of marijuana so much that I've become THC intolerant but even know I was not getting high off of it I still smoked it and fell asleep and woke up feeling more rested than Melatonin or any prescription crap . My dad's got sleep Atnia and his sleep schedule is all off hey might sleep for 30 minutes or 12 hours he grew up back when marijuana really wasn't even a deal but he's never smoked it I don't think he has but he's against it I have been trying to tell him you don't have to smoke and you can eat it too but he just won't and by the way those of you who think marijuana is freaking addictive. I am an addict and marijuana is not addictive it's a mental addiction heroin meth pain pills is a physical addiction and I'm sure those of you that don't do drugs have an addiction to something like coffee stop drinking coffee for two weeks and see how you feel. Try to fight that urge of getting a cup coffee every morning that is an addiction
Thanks Dr Patel, I'm living in the U.K. where marijuana is illegal and it's hard to come across information that I need. I've been using marijuana to sleep for the past 3 months and it's working great for me. The only problem is, any day that I take a break I struggle to sleep again. Anyways thanks for the information and keep up the good work.
Hello again Dr Patel, your answer to my question about which strain of marijuana to use for insomnia, was that it depends on whether it is a mild case or severe case. Could you please explain what you consider a severe case? I always wake up around 3:00 am and can't get back to sleep
Hi Dr Patel, in this video you talk about medical marijuana being able to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and get back to sleep If you wake up. No strains that I have ever tried have done this for me. I do not want to get high, so what configuration of THC to CBD would have the proper effects for this? Thank you.

Could you give us an idea of what strains are best to help with sleeping? Both falling asleep and staying asleep.
Hi. If someone has asthma, can they still vape medical marijuana for breakthrough pain? Thank you😊

Thank you, for the video. Everyone I've spoken with says marijuana helps them sleep, & certain strains help more than others.
