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

Posted by lalyfa @lalyfa, Feb 24, 2018

I am curious to know if anyone has had success with CBD or Hemp oil helping with depression/anxiety? I’ve been reading a lot about it and am curious.
I've been reading about this and am very interested but would like thoughts/opinions from anyone who has actually tried it or knows someone who has. TIA

Thank you,
Laura

I have developed esophageal problems with much burning and such. I was about to try CBD oil but now concerned it could irritate. My dr isn’t into discussing CBD.
Anyone else have GERD or anything similar with esophagitis and using CBD?

I would think you would be fine, you can get it plain with no flavoring. Irks for so many things it’s worth a shot

Is cbd oil ingested or rubbed on your skin?

@tmf0 i’ve had waves of severe anxiety and nausea for a very long time. They come and go fairly quickly but I experience these “spells” every day. It’s horrible! I tried everything but CBD and finally started on Lexapro, I still have trouble, though not as severe so am speaking to my doctor about adding CBD. If you try it, please let me know if it works. I empathize with you and hope you feel better soon!

I also suffer from severe to extreme anxiety, I awake every morning with it and it lasts. I took myself off Ativan and seraquel, am using CBD oil from Lazarus, and I just bought CBD gummy’s yesterday, bit the head off one last night an finally slept for the first time in ages. It’s worth a try so you don’t have to take Lexapro and may feel better

Sorry you are going through this too. It’s really a horrible. My anxiety and nausea are so bad that I have lost 35 pounds in about 8 weeks. I have a lot of thoughts about just being done with all this and wanting it all to end. I’m definitely going to try the cbd oil. I feel like it’s my last option. I will let you know how it works. Best of luck to you.

@tmf0, I know how good it feels just to hop on Connect and talk, so here I am again! But I also forgot to pass on last time that my doctor recommends a 5000 mcg sublingual vitamin under the tongue for calming anxiety. It does help! Try it!
