I use CBD oil and am investigating increasing the amount I take. I can deal with depression, although I hate it, but the anxiety and fear -- especially when they escalate into panic attacks -- are more than I'm willing to accept. Wellbutrin has not helped, so I'm tapering off (doing the taper hasn't been difficult; I've only been on it about 2 months). I may ask my doc this week if I can try Celexa; it's working well for a couple of my friends. But I'd like to be able to use CBD exclusively, even though my insurance won't cover it and I'm on a fixed income with very little leeway, simply because I do not want to subject my brain to more chemical experiments. Getting off Effexor was so hard -- I pray I can somehow find relief without using it again.
@farmboy Would you happen to be a veteran? The company we order CBD from gives a steep discount for vets.
