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

My psych didn’t mention another SSRI :/
Just remeron or cymbalta after 7 days of yuck Effexor. So afraid to try another and have to do another withdrawal

Every individual has different needs and I would think your doctor knows best. Although, a second opinion can be an option. If you go to Mayo clinic.org under Drugs and Supplements, you can look up Lexapro or other depression meds to read more about them.

Thank you I will. So far have been checking with drugs. Com and rxlist

I am clinically depressed for years. I am using medical marijuana for pain and it has helped my depression for the most part.

I suffer from anxiety and depression severe.. went to a psychiatrist ..tried many of the popular medications.. Prozac paxville and many others ..none helped ..some made me feel worse ..I eventually gave medical marijuana try .. my mood was elevated..
I felt better ..I felt like living again ..it's also a great pain reliever for neuropathy ..lower back pain.. it's not for everybody.. but it works well for me.. you have to make sure you do some research ..if you're a first-time user ..because some people can have reaction to it.. small doses at first

It didn’t work for me?

CBD Oil calms me down dramatically and has another side effect for me - reduced blood pressure. Nice! Not for everyone though, CBC Oil doesn't work for a friend, and for my brother. Try it & go slow at first in case you have a bad reaction. I usually use 5mg or 10mg or 15mg depending on how severe my anxiety is. Also helps me sleep. One side effect - dry mouth, but still well worth it.

GeneSight.com is genetic testing site I used, with my psychiatrist's involvement, to determine an effective anti-depressant for me. I've been on Desvenlafaxine (50 mg / day) for 2-3 years, and it is working better than the many others I have ever been on, which were all in the column on the report of being only a little or moderately effective. I've had three suicidal ideation episodes at 72, and my brother (age 84) has tried to commit suicide at least 25 times, according to his wife of over 50 years who almost divorced him because of it many years ago. Thus, my depression is severe, and GeneSight.com was literally life-saving for me. FYI.

I have never heard of this drug. Has it been around for a long time? I have good things about genetic testing as well, glad you found something that works for you.

You may be more familiar with desvenlafaxine's brand names Pristiq or Khedezla.
