How To Switch From Divalproex And Zonisamide To Medical Marijuana?

We are considering trying our daughter on medicinal marijuana. Her meds now(divalproex and zonisamide) have caused weight gain, confusion, depression, anxiety and severe headaches. We are having trouble figuring out how to slowly take her off her meds and put her on the marijuana. Any advice?

Hi,

Medical marijuana is not a good choice and she can try better analgesics like Tramdol Oxycodone which has got better results and more patient compliant. Marijuana hos got serious long term side effects.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
