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

Gail, where did you get the water and did you need an RX? I'm in Florida and we just legalized but I think only under doctors RX.

A brief update on my progress with the CBD oil. The area I have noticed the improvement with is quality of sleep. Does help to have quality sleep.

@gailb I am in SC where it can only be prescribed for last days of cancer pain because they don't care if they get "addicted". I will not get on my soapbox, but I would much prefer being addicted to marijuana as there have never been any scientific studies that prove a physical addiction to marijuana as opposed to opiates. Maybe a psychological dependence, but two very different animals. However, I do believe the CBD oil that does not contain THC is legal federally and in all states.

I'm so happy the CBD is helpful for you. I have found that the longer I've been using the 3 CBD to 1 THC blend, the better it works for me. And, you're right, getting good quality sleep is important to help anxiety and depression. Here's to a good night's sleep.

Yes. I have been on antidepressants for almost 20 years and have had a terrible time with discontinuation symptoms each time I try to stop taking them. Every antidepressant I have taken has given me at least one undesirable side effect so I decided to get my medical marijuana card and try that route. I bought a CBD capsule from Knox Medical called Perla and I cannot believe how well it has been working. I completely stopped Well Turin and am on my 5th day of not taking Cymbalta. I am having brain zaps and dizziness but no anxiety or depression. It’s truly like a miracle. The difference between the CBD I take and what’s in the general market is that it is from the marijuana plant and not the hemp plant. It does not give a high effect. I just noticed that the elephant that weighed on my chest for so many years had gone away about 2 weeks in to taking it. The more I have read about Cymbalta the more furious I have become that my phychiatrist didn’t warm me of all of the side effects and discontinuation effects. I had been on Effexor several years ago and never wanted to go on a drug like that again. I was skeptical of the CBD but was desperate to try something that wasn’t Xanax or addictive to calm my anxiety. Hope my experience helps someone reading and hope I can make it through these awful brain zaps over the next few days. I will never take another antidepressant again!

I got the CBD Living Water through the dispensary here in California. I have a Medical Card, but I don't need one here anymore. If you Google "CBD Living Water" you can purchase it online I think. I don't know if it's the legal kind in all states, but their website should tell you that information. I now use the 3/4 CBD to 1/4 THC tincture rather than the water. It seems to be the most effective for me. I hope you find relief for your anxiety.

Hi I am now more than 5 months of cbd oil continously. It's helping tremendously with brain fog, fatigue, mood liability, anxiety and with good sleep patterns. I really suffered too much when my sleep suffers so I use also zoloft and seroquel this last one bc of its sedative effects. I find out that when my anxiety and mood are leveled my sleep is deep and refreshing. The last bottle of cbd oul was for me a different experience it got me mini panic attacks at night so letting me in a terrible mindset during the next day. I noticed that it was related to the last cbd oil bottle I started so stopped it. They are sending me a new one. What could be the cause of this reaction? I stopped yesterday the cbd bottle and no panic attacks at night. What could have happened? I was very confused

@lorena1egas I don't use the CBD oil but do drink 1.5 oz of organic hemp oil daily for the omega 3 and omega 6 plant based vitamins. I know the stuff I take can become rancid if it sits in the heat or is past it's expiration date. Is there a possibility that might be the case for the CBD oil? Does it show an expiration date?

When did the cbd started to work for you how much do you take and when
