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

I have been totally off the effexor and all anti-depressants for 2 weeks now. The dizziness is getting much better however my emotions/agitation are horrible. I cry at everything and am extremely crabby/agitated. I realize most of this has to do with the withdrawal. I really want to see this through to find out if I can live without anti-depressants but at the same time I know it's very hard on my family. I have another doctor appt beginning of April and she says that if I don't feel better by then I most likely will need to go back on an anti-depressant. For the most part I agree with her. My hopes of proving her wrong as getting slim however. I'd like to know how long it took some of you who have withdrawn from anti-depressants to feel somewhat 'normal' or you knew you had to go back on them? I guess I'm asking if another month is a good amount of time for me to determine what I should do. In some ways I feel like I should start on them again now but I'm not going there yet? BTW, I am in no way feeling suicidal. Mornings seem to be my worst time and by early evenings I feel somewhat better - is this strange too? I haven't tried the CBD living water yet but did find a place near me to get it. Just havent had the time to get there. I also have the Ativan which I take one night to help with sleep. I'm trying not to take it unless really necessary. Tomorrow I have a huge even that my husband and I are in charge of so I'm planning to take an Ativan in the morning to get me through the day without falling apart (crying scene) in front of everyone (or yelling at them) :)! Thanks for all your input!!

@karen00, how great to "hear" from you! Yes. it is HARD to not eat the way everyone else on the planet seems to do. Fast food stores are on every corner. Everything comes coated in flour, drenched in fat, and even coated again. In some perverse way I find myself drawn to these foods because they taste so GOOD!!! We're sad, we celebrate with food. We are happy, we celebrate with food. We come to the weekend after a tough week, and we celebrate with FOOD. This has to change, if one is addicted to carbs as I was. I follow a "lazy keto" diet, full of tasty veggies
, low carb versions of common foods, and good protein. I am not as strict as my bff, but my A1C is normal and I take half the medicine I used to. I have learned to love the food I eat, and I am totally satisfied with it. Do I eat the cake at the wedding? Yes, of course I do. That is part of life. But I don't need it every day! Thank you for your encouraging words. I want you to be encouraged as well. You can defeat this blood clot! Stay close to your doctor's plan for you. Pay attention to your body, and take good care of you. Let me know how you are getting along from time to time, won't you? I would really enjoy that.

Karen, I suffer with extreme severe anxiety from morning til bedtime which happened from withdrawal from Lyrica. I have found that Lazarus CBD oil, and hemobomb gummy’s have helped enormously. Maybe you could try these to see if they help you also

Thank you. Have you tried in capsule form?

@cdcc Hi! Thanks so much for the tips! So sorry I’m delayed replying. Been sick and in the hospital. Thank goodness I’m out! What are hemobomb gummies?

Karen00, do you have friends who realize you are alone for the holiday, and who would surely include you in their day if they did?

Can cbd oil, capsule or living water be taken with Xanax which I’m trying to wean from ?

Hope you are feeling better and it wasn’t anything serious as to why you were in the hospital lol dumb you wouldn’t be in the hospital if you weren’t I’ll, sorry. Hempbomb gummy’s have CBD/hemp in them no THC. They are just like the gummy bears you can buy. I order them in line. They help a lot with my anxiety and I can do things. I hope this helped if not send me another message. Glad you are home

May I ask where you order your hempbomb gummies?
