I have suffered from chronic anxiety and panic attacks for many years now and it seems that I've only gotten worse over time and all those pharmaceutical drugs given to me throughout the years gave me worse side effects than what I was dealing with with my anxiety issues. The side effects were so bad with many of the pharmaceutical drugs that I could not take them. Six months ago I had a doctor prescribed medical marijuana and I also do the CBD tincture drops which have greatly reduced my anxiety and depression and panic attacks as well as reduce my arthritis pain and neuropathy pain I suffer from. I believe more doctors need to do more research on the true benefits of this natural herb, cannibis, because I do believe that the benefits of smoking medical marijuana and/or doing CBD tincture as well could be a lot better for the patient than all these pharmaceutical drugs that have horrible side effects. Sometimes I feel that our government fights very aggressively in legalizing things like medical marijuana and CBD tincture or one-to-one tincture drops because many people could grow this marijuana in their backyard and the government would not be able to tax it like they can tax alcohol etc. But more doctors need to investigate the benefits of medical marijuana and the tincture drops and I'm not talking about the gummies or the tincture that you may find over the counter at some of these CBD stores. I'm talking about an actual doctor prescribing you medical marijuana that you get at a dispensary

Try to find a good therapist to talk to. I spent 4 almost 5 years in therapy and it really helped. It can be challenging to find one who doesn't need his or her own therapist so try, if you can, no charge meet and greets. Some providers allow that. If you have a gut feeling that your therapist is a nut, run. Don't waste your time or money.

I’ve had the exact same experience with medication. I haven’t tried CBD yet, but my panic attacks have stopped thanks to one doctor who quickly recognized that my right side neck tightness and pain may be causing it. The vagus nerve responsible for fight or flight response may have been the cause. A quick 2 min nerve block injection did the trick, even if it was placebo im happy that it worked. I’m now tapering off medications because my experience with them has been awful! Constant dizziness. I would like to consider CBD for the few times I get the slippery slope feeling of anxiety coming on. I’ve had very good luck with American skullcap (floral herb) for anxiety from muscle tightness and spasms before going to bed.
