Hello, I am a 21 year old female currently suffering a pretty bad case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome which continues to worsen causing severe pain which is untouched by percocet (I am apparently allergic to it), vicodin (no pain relief) and donnatal (no change here either). I am also nauseated all the time and no doctor has ever been able to figure out why. This nausea prohibits me from eating too much at once and if I do I WILL vomit out whatever was in my stomach at the time (all unwillingly). The only way I have managed to gain any weight over the years besides normal growth was by getting the depo provera shot. I was wondering if my symptoms would warrant my doctors to prescribe me marinol to help with the nausea (which is only getting worse)? I've had medical marijuana before but don't live in a state where it's legal and while it's not the best pain killer in the world, it's much better than my experience with any pain killer I've ever taken, and the side effects are MUCH more tolerable. Would marinol produce a similar effect? Thanks.
Criteria for being prescribed Marinol?
