*“I was referred to Dr. Caplan by my PCP after months of struggling with severe insomnia. For years, I had relied on prescription sleep aids, but over time, they stopped working, and the side effects were unbearable. I had heard about cannabis being used for sleep, but I wasn’t convinced it would work for me. The idea of using cannabis made me nervous—I had no experience with it and didn’t want to feel ‘high.’ But my doctor insisted that I give Dr. Caplan a try, so I booked an appointment. From the very first meeting, Dr. Caplan took the time to understand my fears and hesitations. He didn’t push anything on me but explained how cannabis, especially CBD, could help regulate my sleep cycle without the psychoactive effects I was worried about. His calm, knowledgeable approach reassured me, and we crafted a plan that I felt comfortable with. After just a few weeks on the treatment, I started sleeping better than I had in years. It wasn’t an overnight solution, but Dr. Caplan was with me every step of the way, adjusting the plan as needed. I’ve regained the energy I thought I had lost forever, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.”***
