Does CBD oil help you with your depression and/or anxiety?

Hi I’m new to the community and I was on this site looking for info about the CBD gummies that I’ve been taking and I saw your post. I’ve had depression anxiety PTSD all my life. I was on Prozac for the depression 40 mg and 1 mg of Klonopin. I actually had to take myself off of the meds because I lost my psychiatrist so I didn’t have a choice. I did so much research on things that help with anxiety and CBD popped up a lot so I figured I would try it kind of Leary about it because it was so new.Thank the lord that I did I’ve been taking half a gummy a day because it gets into your system quicker and lasts me about 6 hours. My anxiety was so bad that I couldn’t even talk to my friends and would avoid all places with people which is hard there are people everywhere. I don’t have that problem anymore. I can talk to strangers and people I know and it’s been such a blessing for me. I know that everyone is different and it may not work for you but hey what do you have to lose except for how debilitating anxiety could be. I wish you lots of luck and if you ever want to talk about it further please don’t hesitate to ask.

Do your gummy’s have THC in them? Our state doesn’t sell any edibles at this time. I have the CBD oil with and without THC, if I use the oil with the THC I get fuzzy in the head so I usually just use the plain. And that only at .25 ml

Where can you buy the gummies?

You can’t buy them in the state of Maryland. I’m sure if you want them without the THC you can order them on line

I have been wanting to do this myself but I haven't. You are brave. Hang in there!! Want to get off all anti-depressants or at least the Effexor. I can't focus my eyes very well , esp later in the day /night. If I miss one day, WOAH... it does have BAD withdrawals.

Hi I am new here. First for those that don't know.....
* CBD oil with "NO" THC = is LEGAL in all 50 states (Hemp part of the plant) can't get high
* CBD oil with THC = check your state (Marijuana part of the plant) you DO get high
(THC stands for psychoactive Tetrahydrocannabinol)

I tried to read ALL of the posts and I still didn't find my answer.

"I want to know if there is anyone that has come off of an anti-depressant 100% for anxiety and replaced it CBD oil with NO THC?" And does it work. I don't want to take Effexor anymore. I want to be free of that med! The side effects are horrendous. I am a recovering addict so I don't want to take any benzo's or CBD oil with the THC in it. Maybe it's too new to have any statics on it yet.

@stressedmesseddepressed The CBD oil does help me some with anxiety and depression. At least there are not those extreme withdrawals as with the pharm's mentioned. Sevre enough I would not want to go through thus again. Stay tough-A bar exam requires focus. etc.

I was semi-wrong. I got better clarification:

CBD oil is found in two common forms:

1) CBD oil from isolate - the CBD is isolated from other cannabinoids and the oil contains zero THC.
2) Full Spectrum CBD oil - oil contains CBD plus other cannabinoids, including very trace amounts of THC (.03% or less)

Benefits of CBD isolate - legal and isn't looked for in standard drug tests.

Benefits of Full Spectrum CBD - All cannabinoids, including CBD, are generally considered more effective when combined. This is called the "entourage effect". Trace amounts of THC (small enough to not be psychoactive) is known to boost the effectiveness of CBD, therefore Full Spectrum CBD products are often considered superior. However, some people cannot have any THC in their systems whatsoever (employment/drug testing) and in those cases I do not recommend full spectrum products because of the few cases I've seen of trace amount of THC being detected in drug tests.

@ecjames71 In a nutshell explanation-thanks. I can say I do NOT get a high with full spectrum CBD oil. I have not ever smoked pot either and with so small of an amount THC it would seem unlikely. Since you stated you are a recovering addict I can understand your not wanting the full spectrum CBD as it may affect you or anyone else with addictive issues. Also, as I have mentioned at different times we are not all wired the same.

@gailb I have been having some positive results with the CBD oil with the THC. 400 ml would be a seemingly high dose as I take 2 ml/day dividing it up into 4 doses. It is expensive though. Cannot imagine the cost of 400 ml/day. There are days I do not use as much. I do know I am sleeping better at night!!! Grandkids today so I am now in my grandma happy place. They are so accepting of my limitations.
