Have you tried CBD oil without THC? I am wondering about trying this myself. 6 months out from C/T on Klonopin for over 3 years and kindled with Ativan for 10 years prior. My legs are still aching and tight to the point of difficulty standing/walking.

Hi, @jennykl - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Apologies for the delayed reply to your post. I can imagine having aching and tight legs to the point of having difficulty standing and walking is really challenging.

I noted you are considering CBD oil without THC, and I'm hoping that members like @cdcc @parus @gailb may have some thoughts for you.

Just wanted to clarify: are you still taking the clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan) currently, or have you tapered off of these medications?
