Going off of Xanax

Posted by bvgrammy @bvgrammy, Nov 23, 2016

I have been taking Xanax for 25 years for Fibromyalgia and Anxiety. I am trying to wean myself off of it. Has anyone done this?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

@lioness.....here is the quote from the linked article.....Hemp oil is produced from the seeds of the hemp plant, much like oils derived from olives, almonds, and coconuts. CBD is produced from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the Cannabis sativa plant.

@lioness, This compassionate industry is changing every day. Research is being conducted to increase the knowledge base and give hope to those whose lives may be changed for the better. The internet is a great place to find current and pertinent information. We just have to keep up with it all. G'night.

@rascaI, I goofed. I neglected to attach the link to the question, "what is the difference between hemp and CBD oil." No wonder you asked, "so which one is best?" Here you go....https://honestmarijuana.com/hemp-oil-vs-cbd-oil/.

There is no difference so I’m told. I have both CBD w/so THC. Used the one with THC 8 drops this afternoon and I feel no relief from anxiety

@rascal, Although I do not want to be negative, I do have an altered view of the response. Here is a link to a pretty good explanation of all facets of this issue. I also know that there is a Mayo video interview that covers this topic, which I have seen on Connect and is available online. I would hate for anyone to purchase something for which there is no hope of helping with a serious medical issue. I got caught in this trap with the mess in CA last year and succumbed out of desperation. For me, there was absolutely no pain assistance from hemp oil in any shape, form, or quantity.

@rascal1, Good morning. Xanax has never been prescribed for me so I cannot help with your specific question. Perhaps someone else in our group will be more informed and able to respond.. Wishing you a peaceful day. Chris

Thanks Chris.
So you’ve not personally used CBD at all with success?
