@merpreb Hi thanks for writing to me. As you said I am new to this bulletin board. I am 70 and I have had OCD and depression off and on since I was about 12 years of age. I have been to many Psychopharmacologists as well as talk therapy. I have been on several medications such as Prozac, Zoloft, Celexia and Cymbolta. Unfortunately some of the medications above worked for the time being anywhere from a few months to even several years. I currently am on Zoloft and Cymbolta and I see a therapist on a somewhat of a weekly basis. I am semi retired, I ended up going back to work due to being very bored being fully retired. I am wondering if a doctor or medical professional gave you the go ahead for cannabis oil. Have you suffered with your ailments for a long time? I am trying to do CBT with the therapist. Hope to hear from you soon. take care. Herb

@herbnj- Good morning. I'm so glad that you force yourself out of bed and take care of what needs to be taken care of. Yahoo!
Actually my therapist, who was recommended to me by my PCP, recommended that I try pot or CBD. She actually sold me some! lol
My PCP did give me the go ahead, after I had already tried some.
I like CBD much better than HTC because it doesn't make me high. It calms me down and helps mellow me out so that I am not a bitch. It makes me feel much better. I think that it's worth discussing with your doctor and trying it.
