Marinol (dronabinol) for Anorexia: My grandmother was given this in the hospital for anorexia and nausea. She began having tremors after the first dose. It was discontinued, and we are on the second full day post discontinuation, and she is still shaking, severe hallucinations, and mental status changes. 0 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

Marinol (dronabinol) for Anorexia: I suffer from appetite suppression as a result of medication which I take for narcolepsy(Amphetamine-based). Although the medicine works wonderfully, the only negative side effect that kills me is appetite suppression. Hence, my introduction to Marinol! I would like to clarify a common myth that Marinol is a form of prescription "medical marijuana". My doctor explained it is a synthetic cannabinoid, a distant chemical cousin of marijuana that lacks recreational effects at therapeutic doses. It works by activating the endocannabinoid system of the brain, which regulates appetite. When I first tried it, it started working by the end of the next day! 3 user(s) found this comment helpful.

Marinol (dronabinol) for Nausea/Vomiting, Chemotherapy Induced: I used Marinol for nausea during cancer therapy. I have to take some narcotics for excessive pain and Marinol still keeps the nausea down that the narcotics create. Makes my life quite a bit easier. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

dronabinol for Anorexia: I've had pancreatitis for 15 years now. This is the first medicine that not only works on the vomiting but it also gives me an appetite. Eating anything is painfull, this seems to slow things down to let my body process. It's a life saver. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Marinol (dronabinol) for AIDS Related Wasting: Marinol is a life saver. Nausea is one of the worst feelings a person can experience. Marinol eases the nausea quickly and even helps create an appetite. 13 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

dronabinol for Nausea/Vomiting, Chemotherapy Induced: I've been using Marinol for a very long time. It's been a life saver for me, especially in combatting nausea. It even makes me hungry and counters the nausea when I do eat. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
