I apologize before hand if any of my questions sound redundant. I did do research, however the more I learned the more questions I have. I'm going to give you folks a quick run down on my medical problems. I'm 29 years old and have always suffered from depression, anxiety and insomnia since I was a kid (results of being raped and molested as a kid). My condition was always treated the same, SSRI for depression and benzos for anxiety and insomnia. When the new hypnotics came out I was prescribed those for sleep. They would work but I would find myself increasing my dosage because I would build a tolerance to the hypnotics and benzos. In 2008 I had a 15 minute seizure(cause was undetermined)I truly believe it was a combination of exhaustion and benzo withdrawl. The seizure tore ligaments and some of my tendon in my right shoulder, neck and t4 vertaberate. I was placed on a morhpine patch until after surgery to correct my shoulder. After the surgery I was placed on percocet and Soma for pain on a regular continous use. You add the Xanax, Ambien, Sulindac and Cymbalta you have a totally drug dependent 29 year old man, that only 2 years before had one an ameature body building show.
I will admit that I became addicted to the percocet and xanax. I was taking them like candy. A few weeks back I put myself in a rehab center, and that's where the Pain Doc suggested medical cannabis. I was told that most of my issues could be treated with different strains of cannabis. So I was tapered off everything minus the Cymbalta. It wasn't easy but I'm happy, my pain has increased(obviously) but I don't spend my day's asleep and I started work and bodybuilding again.
Although I don't want to go back on opiates and benzos for my issues, I do need something for my pain and insomnia. This is my question; I know indica strains are the best for sleep. What I need is a strain that will knock my ass off with as little hits as possible. I don't want to feel grogy or lazy the next morning like alcohol or benzos. I want to be able to get 6-8 hours of sleep and wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to start my day. The biggest thing besides the insomnia is the pain I get that kills me at night. So is there an Indica strain that will help my pain and put me to sleep?
Now I also want a strain that will help with my body pain but not knock me out or put me to sleep, something for day use. Something I could walk to the gym or to the grocery store and function as normal as possible.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
