For Fibromyalgia "Recently prescribed Nabilone for Fibromyalgia general pain. Do not hesitate to try this medicine. Been in pain for over 10 years with my doctor prescribing various SSRIs and SNRIs for what he believed to be depression and/or anxiety. I was also experimented on with Lyrica, Cymbalta, amitriptyline, Wellbutrin, etc. I was on 11 pill medications a day (I am only 49 years old and in relatively good physical condition). I am now on 3 (acid reflux, blood pressure, and now Nabilone)."

For Fibromyalgia "I got my doctor to prescribe this after I tried medical cannabis because I can't afford cannabis. In a dosage of 0.5 mg twice daily, it is perfect. It helps diminish pain and treat my anxiety and gives me the ability to be less serious and laugh sometimes, which is nice because my illnesses have left me feeling depressed and awful. In higher dosages, I see no benefit. Use the lowest dose possible, or bad side effects like dizziness and paranoia can occur at higher doses. For me, it is identical to edible cannabis in effect, except it lasts longer. There is no addictive quality that I have noticed. It is helpful for sleep as well. The only complaint I have is there is always a shortage of the drug, and it has been on back order for months in Canada. Luckily, I have a supply from a little pharmacy that had lots left. It's worth a try and feels like edible cannabis but less psychedelic and more sedating."

For Fibromyalgia "It did take 4-5 days of using this medication before the positive effects appeared. It is working well with very slight side effects, mostly extreme dry mouth & disturbed sleep (odd thoughts & dreams). I have been taking this now for 2 months and will continue with it as long as my Doctor agrees."

For Fibromyalgia "I have chronic pain, arthritis, osteoarthritis, sciatica nerve pain. I have been very happy with my nabilone and use it mostly before bedtime for a good, painless night's sleep. I did have a bit of a headache a few times, but not all the time or from nabilone. I have used it for about 8 months and have no side effects or complaints. I have glaucoma and macular degeneration in my eyes, but vision is the same as before the use of nabilone."

"I was prescribed this medication by my psychiatrist last month for PTSD and anxiety. It took approximately 2 weeks for the side effects (mostly drowsiness) to go away. I have been sleeping better, which is amazing. However, I’ve gone without it for a couple of days because the pharmacy is having trouble getting it. I am not 100% sure, but I feel terrible (upset stomach, shakiness), and I wonder if it’s withdrawal. I am going to see how I feel tomorrow. I want to continue taking it, but if it’s hard to get, I am unsure if it’s worth it."

"I was prescribed Nabilone in 2020 after months of battling nausea and vomiting. I lost a lot of weight, probably around 50 lbs. I was then diagnosed with gastroparesis, which meant I wasn’t digesting food. I took this drug for 3 years, it worked great and saved my life. However, as 3 years approached, I started getting dizzy and feeling scared. I didn’t think much of it but went to the doctor, who believed it was something with my inner ear. About a week later, I was confused and almost passed out at work. I went back to the doctor, and he suggested it was time to come off the Nabilone, so I did. I had to fight through severe withdrawal, which was the hardest thing I ever did in my life because of how long I was on it and because I went off it immediately rather than tapering it. Just be cautious when taking this drug, and if you’re feeling like you can come off of it, do it, because I wouldn’t wish the aftereffects on anyone. However, this drug, at one point, did save my life."

For Fibromyalgia "I only took one time of Nabilone. I felt the pain of all my joints vividly, not like I only realized that I have pain generally before, but not able to tell where the pain was. I am not sure if those side effects will go away later on. I want to hear other people's opinions."

For Nausea/Vomiting, Chemotherapy Induced "I was taking this to see whether it would help me with my migraines. I still get migraines, they are not as severe, but my stomach is always upset. I don't want to eat. I am having too many days I don't want to eat, not sure what to do now."

For Fibromyalgia "I have used nabilone for 2 months. The nabilone eased off all fibro pain. I still have pain but it is very manageable. I don't know why this was not offered a long time ago."

"I was given this for chronic pain and it pretty much did nothing. I took it for 3 weeks and all it did was make me drowsy and gave me a brain-dead high. IMO just try the real stuff."
