I have cervical and vocal dystonia and want to know if canibius helps? I take klonapin and a muscle relaxant and was taking provigil for concussions but I think makes it worse. Tired of all these drugs. Can someone help??? Please....don't like Botox.

I too have dystonia and have been considering using CBD oil. It has almost all of the THC removed, so it is not hallucinogenic. I know that muscle cramps are a reason that doctors can prescribe medical marijuana in Colorado. (The medical issues that allow them to prescribe medical marijuana vary by state.) So I think it would help with dystonia. I haven't been to the dispensary for this yet, but will ask them whether CBD oil or other products help with muscle cramps. Will let you know what they say if/when I go there.

I have vocal and cervical dystonia but the next horrible condition I have that has gotten so horrible is restless leg syndrome . I'm going to a dispensary today because I can't sleep and it has worsened to the point of unbearable. I've done so much research on it and just discovered it's the most common movement disorder..... it never stops. I have it right now as I sit and write this. Also found out I have extreme inflammation in L 5 and S 1. Shots will be coming up soon. HELP!!!!!!

When you have any muscle pain, like throwing your back out, Dr.s prescribe both pain medication and muscle relaxer. It is that 1-2 punch for me.
