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 struggle with anxiety and depression. I decided a few years ago to go off of my prescription medications and try to manage my conditions holistically. I began utilizing massage, yoga, essential oils, working out, and chiropractic services. I learned of CBD and decided to give it a try. I have tried multiple different brands. I’m currently using tincture from the Ritualx brand and definitely recommend it to all. The company is physician founded and led. They have a nurse hotline to help answer questions that you may have. They also have a topical balm, that is great for aches and pains. You can set up an appointment over the phone or in-person, to learn about CBD, their products, and any questions you may have. Go check out their website to view products and set up your appointment. They will ship right to your door. ritualxcbd.com

I have been on anti-depressant medication for a long time. So, I decided to try CBD oil capsules from a reputable company. It wasn't the lowest dosage, but not the highest either. I think about 300 mg if I remember correctly. Tried it for about 8 weeks. I didn't notice enough improvement to justify the price. I wish you the best.....it may be worth trying since everyone is different.

Yes, I've had good luck with using CBD for anxiety and it also dramatically lowers blood pressure for me. I'm off BP meds. Note, CBD comes in many forms, drops, balms, capsules, gel caps, sprays. I'm using the 10 & 15 mg capsules & like the OnePlus CBD Oil brand for its consistency & accuracy of fulfillment.

I used Effexor years ago with limited success, but the side effects were such that I just did not like how I felt...I was not as depressed but the side effects made it impossible for me to do my job at the time ( I rode horses for a living, and being "foggy" was NOT safe for myself nor the horses I rode for owners and in shows).... I weaned off of it per Dr. instructions. I went on Wellbutrin last year to try and deal with depression again, but was sick every single day I was on it so weaned off it as prescribed as well. Right now my issue is insomnia related to depression, something I have battled MOST of my adult life. I do NOT want to go back on any antidepressants so instead am going to try some CBD products to try and cope with that part of my life. I am on blood pressure meds but my current group of doctors are not "fans" of CBD anything. At a minute and half away from 69, I am at a point I really do not care what the medical profession wants me to take for depression and will take my chances. Life is gonna go on whether I like it or not but if I do not start getting some regular sleep, my depression will be unbearable.

I take it from time to time for bladder/colon spasms and works ok for me. get a good grade CBD not a gas station special. been taking it for past 3 years.
