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

Oh, Merry, smiling gently at you....darling those dosages are for regular folks...10 mg...you and I and many, many others have had so many more challenges and will continue to face ongoing challenges, often daily.
So our CBD needs are greater than the norm. It is what it is, right?
How much are you taking today? What's the plan. What do you have on hand?

I can help you figure it out if you read the numbers on your bottle.
It sounds like you are using an equal mixture of THC and CBD.
What is the highest number...that would be MG in the whole bottle. Are they drops, or capsules?
Good question, BW

1 ReactionIt is a 60ml bottle of liquid for use under the tongue. 9.9mg/ml of THC/Cbd each. So about 20mg/ml all together for 1200 mg in a bottle. If I take .5 ml per day is that close to .5 grams. This is a persciption med and I am perscibed up to 6 grams a day. Seems like a lot to me if the math is right.
@popolopo- Hello. Since there are no fixed regulations yet for CBD oil or THC you will have to go to your seller and ask him/her. They have to be able to tell you what they are selling, don't you think? I think that we would all love this information.
I am a mom of two kids. You know that being a mom is the toughest job. Everyday routine makes me extremely tired and sometimes I feel great stress at the end of the day. My sister recommended using hemp oil as a natural stress relief remedy. I googled and found a great variety of hemp oils and I do not know which is the best to me. I see that there is 500mg, 800mg, 1000mg, 1500 mg, 2000 mg .....hemp oils. What's the difference? Which one should I take against stress and anxiety?

1 ReactionHi, @wellnessjane - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm also the mom of two kids, and I know what you are saying that being a mom can be a tough job and can lead to feeling stressed at the end of the day.
You may note I moved your post to a discussion called "CBD oil and depression/anxiety" so that your post will be see by other Connect members who have similar concerns.
You'd asked about possibly taking CBD and detangling the differences between different kinds and dosages. I'd like you to meet some other members who might share some input from their own experiences, like @popolopo @brightwings @rascal1 @stephanieann @artscaping.
Have you also found other strategies that work for you to relieve stress or help with the feeling extremely tired, @wellnessjane?
