Thought i would update you all. I’ve been on the Sativex for 3 days, well this is day 3. 1st spray Monday evening did nothing. Spoke to pain nurse on Tues. she said you need more snd quicker. I had 2 Tues afternoon and 4 in the evening. Very spaced out and woke in the night a little panicky. Yesterday I had 2 sprays in the morning at 8am.( nurse wanted me to have 4 ) I had to drive for an appointment at 10am. I don’t remember the drive ( only 2 miles ) and in the meeting I was there but my brain wasn’t. Very scary timing. The poor woman must have thought i was nuts! Note to self, do not drive after 2 sprays just yet 😳.

I’m starting it this week. My pain consultant has prescribed it to me. I have tried so many pain killers this year. She said she only prescribes it to a select few. Its taking 3-5 days for the pharmacy to get it with a strict ordering process. 🤞

Hi @A MyMSTeam Member thank you for your answer. If it takes even the slightest pain away it will be great. I’ll let you know how its going. Does it make you dizzy or lightheaded? I want to be able to use my car as thats my independence. I don’t drive far anymore just to local friends.
