I wonder how to handle my (future) psychiatrist. He is up to prescribing international (american) meds.
So, Rapastinel, when it comes out should be fine.
However, in October i have an appointment with a cannabis doc.
Hed be prescribing Cannabidiol that can hopefully replace my AAPs.How can i do this?
I want my pdoc to agree to Cannabidiol although it is not an approved med yet.
Hmmm.
Then of course there is the option of not telling him.
Im worried about the future and i am enraged by the fact that i cant decide what to put in my body on my own.

Canibodal is worth a shot I guess, would be best off possibly trying it on your own, don't beleive you need perscription or if they even have perscriptions for it. Need to watch out for infections with it though, as it's a potent immunosuppressive agent. This could also be in theory how it works as it would reduce inflamation, but nontheless be careful.

I have read that CBD helps against many viruses.
Maybe this immunosupression is a lie originating from the pharmaceutical industry?

It suppresses the body from immune response to infection. When infected, the body creates anti body's that seek and kill the bacteria or virus that has infected you. Cbd by nature suppresses this, causing immune response to not occur as strongly hence a depressed immune system. Viruses and diseases for that matter often cause a lot of their problems due to the inflamation they cause from activating you immune system. When you get a cold you get achy, a fever, a cough, weak feeling, ect. These are all from your bodies immune response causing inflammation. As cbd suppresses this, chronic viruses that don't go away and cause constant suffering(due to over zealous immune response) will seemingly be more tolerable in that the anti inflammatory nature of cbd will make you feel better. I don't believe it is a government cover up. You can test for immune suppression by checking common igg igm levels in your blood. The only thing you can do for immune enhancement is to get intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, also known as ivig. This is very expensive and not something you would be able to cover yourself, a single monthly treatment is around 8,000 dollars. However, if you do end up having a suppressed immune system, you can apply for this therapy through insurance, but only if you are severely immuno depressed.

So you think i can apply for it although it is caused by CBD??
Hmm.
I guess i will try CBD and have the blood tests you mentioned done and let my doctor decide if it is feasible.

Its scheduled for 2018.
It could take as long as 2020 in my estimation but 2018 is the last i personally heard from Naurex.
I rely heavily on science to bring out better treatments in the future. Its how i keep my head up, being a young guy.

I think we have just scratched the surface of whats going in our brains.
So many people dont respond to any one of the SSRI.
I respond maybe 15-20% tops to Effexor.
Should be a bit more!
