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

Congratulations on working on ways to improve your health. I also take many supplements to help with bipolar issues and heart issues.

My autistic son has been using 18 to 1 ratio of CBD toTHC for about 9 months now. I have successfully weaned him off of Klonipin, Guanficine, and his dose of atypical antipsychotic has been reduced by more than half. I am tapering him off these psychiatric medications very slowly, one medication at a time. he now takes CBD tincture about every 4-5 hours 1 ml. His psychiatrist and a nurse practitioner very experienced with CBD has provided guidance. It really has helped with anxiety and irritability so far. I Generally he seems happier, and does not exhibit the anxious behaviors he used to have. If you do get CBD tincture make sure you obtain it from a reputable marijuana dispensary or reputable company on line. They should have a lab testing their products. INMHO it is not safe to just go but any hemp product. Quality control is still lacking with many of these products.

Some companies are selling fake CBD make sure you don't fall for their trap. Upset stomach, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal distress are not typically caused by cannabinoid oil itself, but rather by ingredients used to deliver CBD oil into the body or flaws during production.

I've been doing a ton of reading about the vapes(and CBD in general) to help me wean off diazapam and just wanted to share my conclusions in hope that it will help with your vape predicament. Regarding the "stigma" of vaping and the connotations it comes with, this should be the least of your worries. The whole PR campaign of "the war on drugs" against marijuana and it's derivatives(CBD) was heavily supported by the companies that created the drugs we are trying to get off... Now regarding the vaping itself, two things you need to know. 1 - Vaping is BY FAR the fastest way to get the CBD into the bloodstream, taking sometimes less than a min for you to feel, making it ideal for "extreme" moments when symptoms are peaking. It's important to note that it does not last nearly as long as the oils so take that into consideration. I take the oil once a day and have the vape on me if I feel a wave of anxiety coming on. 2 - Not all vape liquids are created equal. Just like food, try and find a vape liquid that has as little ingredients as possible. Anything with "lemonade flavor" or any flavor for that matter is a no-no. Anything with Vitamin E is an absolute NO and can be extremely dangerous.
PG(propylen-glycol) is also an ingredient worth avoiding. I hope this helps 🙂

Can you name it on private email? Is that ok to do?
I have 20 years of treatment resist major depression/PTSD. ALWAYS looking for help.

That sounds so encouraging. I’m researching CBD for Ted/ptsd. I’m hopeful, tired of 20+ years of this untreatable condition. Thanks

@nodepression Does anyone using CBD/THC or just CBD have a headache after use. This happens especially in the morning after sublingual use of CBD or CBD/THC.

wife has been using for about a year and haven't had that problem..

I just started 10 mg. of Celexa (citalopram). I also just started CBD + Stess-Defy. It is a full spectrum hemp extract. I have been suffering from anxiety and depression since I was a teenager. I’m hoping to calm my mind, and also help with sleep at night. The CBD + Stress-Defy helps at night to calm my mind. You can find it on irwinnaturals.com. You have to watch what you order on Amazon because a lot of it is not the real thing. That is why I ordered my CBD on the website. It is expensive but worth it. You also have to make sure it is Full-Spectrum. I’ve tried the water but it did not do a thing for me. What works for one may not work for all, but it’s worth a try.

Expensive, didn’t help!
