Has anyone tried Cesamet for pain? My Dr is thinking of prescribing it for me..

Hello:

I take this along with my Oxycontin, I also take Lyrica for my Fibromyalgia and severe back and leg pain.  It is great, just make sure you dose right because it will make you slow for the day (on a high) but very happy.

I don't have any personal experience with Cesamet but I've seen people discussing it on our ChronicPainConnection forum.  Try going there and asking if anyone has tried it. 

Note:  If you've never been to the forum before, you do have to register there separately from the SharePost registration but you can use the same e-mail address and password. 

I hope someone there can help you.

Holy cow!! That's alot to deal with!  I am currently taking Cesamet along with Morphine...which is too much together.  I am currently going back and forth to try to find a balance that works on my doctors advice.  I currently don't have a definite yes or no , as to whether it works well though.  I wish I could be of more help.  I will keep you up to date with my progress and hopefully be of some help to you.  My best wishes to you.  I hope you have a good support system...P.S. I also take Gabapentin.  Most of these meds are for my Fibromyalgia, which is severe, but I have a few other medical problems too.

Hi ,

I have Rheumatoid , Osteoarthiritis, and Fibromyalgia. I am on 0.5 mg of Cesamet.1 at bedtime and 1 in the morning.

It works great for the stiffness and relieves alot of my pain.

Definately worth a try.

Hi, I too have been diagnosed with chronic pain and also Fibromayalgia. I have tried many different things for my pain. Oxycontin, Lyrica, moriphin, and now i am on Nortriptyline and Cesemet together at bed time. It has been approx three weeks since i have started taking these two drugs at bedtime and i have not noticed any change in my pain as of yet and i take 30 MG of Nortriptyline and 3 ML of Cesemet. i also take a sleeping pill called Rhovane 7.5 MG.
