Has anyone tried CBD oil to help with tremors?

Posted by mindy6 @mindy6, May 14, 2018

I'm wondering if anyone has tried CBD oil for tremors? My father in law has agent orange and has terrible tremors

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Yes, he sleeps better now and is not stiff while sleeping but still has tremors in hands. I've gone up on dosage to 800mg and will see what others say about dosing at 1500mg for severe cases is true. I'm trying to get an appt. with a Dr. who does High Frequency Ultrasound on brain that seems to have good results on tremors. That's on another discussion topic.

Thanks so much. I wish him (and you) well. I have so much to learn! Can I tell u a secret!? Three weeks ago I went cold-turkey off Splenda (threw whole new box in with the rest of the garbage), and my pretty severe shaking of right foot and leg stopped--practically overnight!! Praise God. So, that just goes to show you!!

Finding success in the use of CBD Oil for Famil tremors. Used for one month so for! Really nasty tasting...so I place my dosage with an I-dropper into Cranapple juice. That works well!

Not as much success as I expected on CBD Oil controlling Family Tremors? Have been a user for about 3 months!. Hope to have less shaking than I currently experience! I have a question about dosing? Should I be taking 3 Ml per day or more? I have been diluting 3 and up to 6 Ml per day in fruit juice at Breakfast. Am I suppose to be diluting the CBD Oil at all? What about the suggestion that the Oil be taken under the tongue . Is that a requirement? I'm sorry about all of these questions, but hopefully you'll cut me some slack on helping me through these treatment ideas for CBD Oil. Thanks, Glenn Larkin

Yes, Glenn it is absorbed faster if placed under the tongue for 60 secs. I would dilute if it's dificult to take otherwise. The brand you take has a lot do also, some brands may not be as potent as they say. Some have thc (good for pain) some are made with hemp (very low thc but high on cbd) it all depends on what you need more relief on. Before making my own I bought it from Care by Design (with thc you can only get at dispensaries, madevwith hemp and high on cbd you can get by mail) or Green Flower Botannicals (you can get by mail). Hope this helps. GFB has info on dosing you can take a look at on their website.

Since I last posted about trying CBD for my dad's tremors my dad began having problems swallowing liquids so I've been having to mix all his liquids with "Thick It," and been soaking Famous Amos cookies in the CBD oil and having my dad take the CBD that way. Since I can't say for sure how much CBD each cookie soaks because after a while the cookies just bleed out the oil I will be giving him a cookie every 4 hrs. So much for the 750 mg -1.5k mgs trial. I've been having him do both CBD on cookie and vaping whenever he is strong enough to pull on vape pen. At least he sleeps well at night. 🙂

I appreciate you keeping in touch. It is a good thing that he sleeps well at night.

How are his tremors? Any changes in those?

Hello - I’m glad that You are seeing some benefits. I an a PD / MD patient and have had some great success with CBD and MMJ. If you live in a state where medical marijuana is legal - I’d suggest looking into that. That gives you access to a better grade of CBD that you can get off the shelf.
I have found that to be a very important factor for me. Just like other meds - it is important to have the same formulation and concentration.
Different CBD oils will have different formulations that helps with different ailments depending on the terpenes that are in the mix.
Not sure if the place you get the CBD from has folks knowledgeable to help steer you to a good product for him. A stable and predictable formulation is paramount so you know what you are getting from dose to dose and bottle to bottle.
You can also find the products in several forms to help people with different ailments to be able to consume the product.
I utilize the MMJ products for movement, stiffness, pain, mood, tremors, relaxation, sleep, relieving racing thoughts.
