Coop

I take 600mg of neurontin 3 times a day and am considering medical marijuana. I've been told that neurontin and cannibis don't mix. Is this true?

This really is a question for your pharmacist or doctor. I was unable to find any good information on this topic. I would be very surprised if any studies had been done. One paper suggested that the two can have similar effects - something to consider since you don't to overload your system. The article below discusses this situation briefly.

 

Your pharmacist will probably assess the situation by analyzing how the chemical makeup of each affects your body and determining if they will interfer with each, increase each others effectiveness or what.
