I have arthritis ulcerative colitis and had to get a pacemaker placed into my butt cheek to help my parts work which stopped working from all the pain pills and antidepressants... So that's the worst continued pain for two years now ( it's like sitting on a bunch of keys always and you can't get rid of them). And because I'm in Canada, the doctor told me if they take the pacemaker out to stop the pain, I will next be on a coloscomy bag for the rest of my life. (Hence the antidepressants) so my doctor didn't think twice when I wanted to try medicinal and said if I'm willing to put up with the "stigma of being a pot smoker" (his words not mine) then he was happy to help me off the pills.
Goodluck
My 2 sons when I found out that they started I sent them in and one got his card from another doctor for ADHD the other for insomnia
