I take 2500 mg of full spectrum CBD oil (homemade) daily for the treatment of schizophrenia. I've been on that dose for 6 years.
I developed severe, chronic migraine in March, 2024. My migraines are every 3 to 4 days, level 9 debilitation for 24-48 hours.
I remain on my (huge) CBD dose and my schizophrenia is under control. But, obviously, it hasn't done a darn thing for migraine.
I also have chronic regional pain syndrome, CRPS, one of the most painful pain syndromes around. Neuropathic pain. After one year on the CBD oil (10 years without first) the neuropathic pain is totally gone. So it has worked for that pain (when no pharmaceutical was successful) but not for migraine pain at all.

@caitlin9489 So beyond awful, severe chronic migraines!
I will state the obvious - have you seen a headache/neurologist specialist?
Not just a neurologist must be a headache specialist also.
Don't know if you are interested in "prescription" medications for migraine relief...not saying such will work for you but possibly could. There are options for migraine relief.
Mine were triggered by a head concussion in 2019. I never had migraines before but did have about 3 episodes of "ophthalmic" migraines, first time it happened thought it was a stroke. No pain but peripheral vision was all wavy lines. Lasted about 15 minutes. But the concussion kicked off the head migraines...I had one every day for 9 months. And here I am 7 years later and continue to suffer from them. I had trauma to the brain and it is simply not going away...also chronic, severe migraines can change the chemistry and neurons of the brain. I have increasing white matter (hyperintensities) in the brain, areas of no blood supply. With your schizophrenia, which is a brain malfunction, everything is most likely connected.
I feel your migraine pain.
Hope somehow, someway you can find a degree of relief!

Very sorry you suffer these migraines & the most painful type of neuropathic pain. That the Cbd took one year to help with the schizophrenia is obviously a blessing. Keep trying and thanks for mentioning what helped you. All the best. ♡♡
