I would recommend against taking these medication during the same time due to risk of over sedation. Symptoms may include: oversedation, slowed or slurred speech, slowed motor skills, driving impairment and cognitive impairment.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8447-markdown","title":"I would like to meet a doctor virtually for a consult to talk about my insomnia and bladder issues at night.","slug":"i-would-like-to-meet-a-doctor-virtually-for-a-consult-to-talk-about-my-insomnia-and-bladder-issues-at-night","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8378-markdown","title":"How many people with in the United States use medical marijuana to deal with insomnia?","slug":"how-many-people-with-in-the-united-states-use-medical-marijuana-to-deal-with-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nAn estimated 30%-50% of the general population will be affected by insomnia at some point and some 10% have chronic insomnia. The numbers of people who siffer from sleepless nights are huge and this disproportinately affects people over the age of 65. \n\nCannabis is known, anecdotally, to be a great insomnia reliever. THC seems to work best for most people and for some CBD can help with sleep. Unfortunately, there are no statistics to say how many people use cannabis for insomnia as no one is tracking the data and I would assume there is a large number of people who grow their own MM or who buy from the black market as well. \n\nI would assume in Canada the government may have more insight into their population there as medical marijuana is federally legal and regulated at the government level. I can say, without giving numbers, that insomnia along with anxiety and chronic pain is one of the most common reasons people consume cannabis. I hope this helps.\n\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8251-markdown","title":"Are these good for insomnia?","slug":"are-these-good-for-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nSome people use them for insomnia!

The best product for your pain, anxiety, and insomnia may or may not be a CBD Tincture. The question would be, what is causing your pain, anxiety, and insomnia? They go hand-in-hand, as lack of sleep will cause more anxiety, and more anxiety will cause increased pain. \n\nI would suggest addressing the anxiety first with some herbs and whole plant raw cannabis. A great product to check out would be \"Better Mood\" that features Lemon Balm, Valerian Root, and Raw (non-psychoactive) Cannabis Powder. You may be suffering from endocannabinoid deficiency, which can occur in times of excessive stress. The whole plant cannabis will restore your sense of well-being. The Valerian root will increase your serotonin receptors, and the lemon balm has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to treat depression and anxiety. If you're in California, you can get it shipped direct from Eva. https://evaonline.org\n\nnixie","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8094-markdown","title":"Is this Treatwell 20:1 tincture good for sleep?","slug":"is-this-treatwell-20-1-tincture-good-for-sleep","content":"\n_____________________\nIt depends on what is causing the insomnia.  For example, if sleep is a problem due to stress and anxiety and the mind not \"turning off\", then taking small doses of 20:1 during the day can help w/ the anxiety/stress levels and let people fall asleep easier and stay asleep.  However, we do not suggest taking 20:1 right before bed b/c it can be stimulating.  1:1 is a good ratio to try right before bed and we recommend that in conjunction w/ certain other types of tinctures if treating something during the day.  20:1 for daytime, 1:1 before bed for anxiety, or possibly Wellness Blend during the day for certain types of pain and 1:1 before bed.\n\ntreatwellhealth","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8069-markdown","title":"I am using a pax era and Era indica pod for insomnia and wondering, can put the pod in your checked bag?","slug":"i-am-using-a-pax-era-and-era-indica-pod-for-insomnia-and-wondering-can-put-the-pod-in-your-checked-bag","content":"\n_____________________\nThe TSA does not allow for cannabis, medical or not, on aircraft since they are federally-regulated.  https://apps.tsa.dhs.gov/mytsa/cib_results.aspx?search=marijuana\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8063-markdown","title":"Are Kiva's Petra Mints recommended for sleeping at night? ","slug":"are-kivas-petra-mints-recommended-for-sleeping-at-night","content":"\"For sleeping \"\n_____________________\nHello! Kiva's Petra Mints look great for a number of reasons. Having a low dose or microdose of 2.5mg per mint allows for titrating the dose of cannabis edibles up slowly to avoid negative side effects from over-medicating. It appears that these mints use a variety of high quality ingredients. I probably would recommend these more for daytime use more than for sleeping because one of the ingredients is green tea matcha (a stimulant) which may keep you up past your bedtime.

It sounds like you've had some experience w/ med cann products;  have you had any adverse reactions and if so, what were the products and the cannabinoid profiles of said products?   In the short blurb you've given, it sounds like sleep and some mood dysphoria are the biggest issues that you are dealing with.  For sleep, I recommend carefully dosed edibles with some THC and CBN (enough to help you feel \"heavy\" but not enough to cause mood swings or paranoia).  I tell pts to try a test dose of any edible first (like on a Friday or weekend where there's no work/ responsibilities the next day) and to only take a fraction of what is recommended as an adult dose (i.e. 1/2, or 1/3 of a full adult dose listed on the label of the edible product).  For daytime mood mgmt, you can try a vape-pen but keep the doses \"low and slow\";  another popular method w/ my pts is tincture drops diluted in hot non-caffeinated tea (for these a higher CBD: THC ratio has helped my pts, one can start w/ 2:1 or 3:1  CBD:THC and dilute the amount the tea you mix accordingly for safety.  As I tell many of my perimenopausal pts,  this is a difficult time that usually calls for a multi-modal approach (i.e. daily exercise, meditation/ mindfulness/ self-hypnosis,  nutritional supplements, etc).   I hope this helps!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7986-markdown","title":"Where can I get information about using cannabis for sleep issues?
