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

Question, does anyone take CBD oil for anxiety and if so how much a day do you take? I’ve been using it bu5 not sure if I am using the correct amount. I’m weaning off 0.5 Ativan and my anxiety is acting up but not to severe

I'm glad to hear your anxiety is not too severe as you wean off Ativan. Was CBD oil recommended by your physician?

I take CBD oil for osteoarthritis and anxiety. I got it from Green Mountain CBD and also locally. I just decided to try CWHemp.com to compare. I do notice a difference in quality sometimes. I've tried all kinds of arthritis meds, but nothing has helped like CBD. It makes it much easier to do my yoga and weight classes. It has been so amazing for my arthritis. As for anxiety, I noticed that CBD slows down my brain "chatter." So, it's great to take it at 7 pm or so, so I don't stay up worrying/overthinking. I will say it makes me a tad dull witted and forgetful. I'd never take it during the day.

How much do you take? I have both regular CBD oil and CBD oil with THC which I don’t really are fot

I have been using CBD organic, non GMO, USA grown, 3rd party tested, CO2 extracted CBD Hemp Oil for 8 months for my dog with stage 4 cancer and myself for chronic pain from an inoperable accident. I serve the homeless on the streets of my city and have seen 4 friends take it for anxiety, PTSD and paranoia. The remarkable difference is staggering. When they run out, we see all the issues return. CBD is cumulative, so we are in hopes it lessens their conflicts. All I can say is it has given me 8 more months with my little best friend, my dog and it has changed my ability to function and sleep. But also what it is doing for so many people struggling with anxiety and aforementioned is amazing. What is KEY is get it pure, uncut with any carrier oils and with a 60day money back guarantee, you have nothing to lose. The company I choose to buy from has a guarantee even on empty bottles. It restores the gut (our command center) to homeostasis and awakes the endocannabinoid system to speak with other organs. This is so unreal because the gut is where most issues lie. I had a brain trauma from my accident....it is now helping me with all that comes with that- dizziness, tremors, headaches, more. In my opinion, you have nothing to lose by trying it! (do not buy it in a head shop) It is legal in all 50 states, you do not need a medical card for CBD Hemp oil. I suggest the tincture placed under the tongue to enter the blood stream sub-lingually. It does not take 2 hours to react but each person is different. Remember this is an herb, not a drug. It will not mask pain or act like a drug. It is safe to take with any medication and has zero known side affects. If on blood thinners should start very low. In all cases, micro dose- GO LOW START SLOW. Do not start with the full dose on the bottle. Start with 5 drops 2x daily am and late afternoon or early evening and do this for 3-5 days before going up 5 more drops, etc until the full dose of 20 drops. Find your sweet spot. If you feel sleepy, drop down 5 drops for 3 days. Keep adjusting until you find a sweet spot. Medications work better while on CBD- it enhances their effects, especially chemo, so watch if you should come down a few milligrams off your meds. Results seen: clarity, alertness, no brain fog, reduced inflammation, reduction in pain, better sleep, cleared eczema, hair/nails/ grow fast and healthier, liver spots disappearing, better vision, better attitude.

How much of the oil do you use per day? I have both CBD oil and CBD oil with THC

I have ordered it and look forward to trying it..Thanks

! was ADDICTED to marijuana and became psychotic and suicidal. I did not know I was depressed. Now under psychiatric care thru my HMO. There are other addicted, there are Marijuana Anonymous Meetings in my community. Check out the research at "National Institutes of Health" - LOTS of published research also information thru Betty Ford Hazelden Clinic. Glad it works for some people.

Hello @2darling1,

I'm glad you joined this discussion and shared a little different perspective; I'm confident other members will join me in me in extending a warm welcome. May I ask if you would share a bit more? Were you taking marijuana for medical reasons? When did you realize that it was becoming an addiction?

I answered an email. This was in the 70's. It started out for fun, lots of laughs and I could not stop when I wanted to stop. No one was talking about grass for medical reasons at that time. One of my boyfriends was in the music business and had "great stuff" for clients and me. I was a young business woman in an executive position of responsibility for a major corporation.....with clients of corporations - conservative and business professionals. Good luck if it help you or others.
