Sativex

Hello all, Has anyone tried Sativex or other medical Cannabis based meds for leg spasms? I have Secondary Progressive and my symptoms are very leg-centric, particularly with lock-ups / spasms at night. I'm just keen to hear of your experiences with it, up sides, down sides etc? I appreciate that it's currently not widely available, at least not on general prescription, but with the potential impending rule changes I'm keen to explore my options going forward. I like the idea of using something that I can up and down the dose of based on how severe my symptoms are on a given day. I'm currently not mediating at all. Thanks.

I've never used Sativex but I have tried cbd oil which I think helps with my anxiety attacks although being a regular cannabis user I'm not a good guinea pig, I probably have a lot of it in my system at all times anyway. I only have occasional leg spasms so I'm not sure how useful it is for that but I would say it is certainly worth a try, the stuff I get is around £25 a bottle which lasts me for a couple of months so it's not overly expensive, I'm not aware of any potential side effects so I'd say it's worth giving it a shot

Thanks Arbee.
