Will Marijuana Pills increase my appetite or make me paronoid? I am suffering from many illnesses, but recently I have dropped 8 pounds, and am dangerously low at 106lbs....I NEVER have an appetite, and I have been forcing myself to eat every 3 hours or so but still can't get in the proper amount of calories...I have Hep C, IBS, IC, Vulvadynia, in which I am on Vicoden for the pain. I also have a Medtronic Device, to stop the nerve damage causing the vulva and baldder pain.She said she has taken my pain down from a 30, where i could not leave my home...to a 10, with my pain meds.... This is my 17th Doctor, 3 operations later, and still wake up as if there was a lit cigerette lighter inside my privates...Pass the point of embarassing or having pride...I am recently widowed, with a 20 and 16 year old daughters...The 16 year old rages and screams at me constantly...My Brother takes care of us financially, or I would be in the gutter...but He does it in an abusive and mean controling way..I am so grateful but so stressed. I have not taken care of myself, and I was on a ventilator for 12 weeks, had a tracheotomy and was hospitalized four 4 months, with a 10% chance of survival due to a mutant form of pnumonia..The CDC sent up some Monster antibiotics and I got better..Went to Burke Rehab for a month( where Christopher Reeves went) and came home at 70 lbs, most of my hair gone, but alive... 4 months later my Husband of 22 years, started to cough..8 weeks later, He died of lung and brain cancer..I.just never had a chance to really heal.

If I got that sick again, as my Doctors saY IS SO VERY POSSIBLE, i WOULD DIE. i HAVE LOST MY FIGHT. I have manitrol 2.5 grams in pills....would that help my appetite or make me paronoid? I really need to eat more.. I am 5'7" and weigh 106....Scary thin...Thanks for any feedback. Sorry if I rambled, today is my deceased Husband's birthday.

Marijuana is a well known  appetite enhancer and has been used for many years for that purpose in AID's and cancer patients. It is also useful in the treatment of glaucoma, in reducing muscle spasms and to  reduce some types of pain. A mild sense of paranoia does not appear to be a major side effect but is reported to occur in a few people.  Good luck. I hope you can add some weight!
