I have epilepsy can I be prescribed marijuana?

I only get seizures in my sleep and I'm always unaware of when one will occur. My medication fails once in a while and I end up on a hospital bed and receive a $5000 medical bill. My medication (oxycarbomezapine) gives me side affects such as insomnia, depression, and nausea every day. I've switched doses and medications three times each and none were any better than the other. I've never had a seizure or felt any side effects of my meds on any of the days I have consumed marijuana. I fear that my epilepsy is getting worse because I've had seizures more often this year and that I'm going to have a complicated life in my future. Now epilepsy and seizure disorders such as mine is listed under New Jersey medical marijuana laws so techniquely I qualify for a liscense but my doctor won't give me any recommendation of his and I don't know where to start. Is it even possible for me to have marijuana prescribed? Please help
