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

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.

Do you have a reputable source to buy CBD oil? I'm interested in trying it. Thanks.

The company I use is called Plus CBD oil, http://www.pluscbdoil.com, and they were recommended by my former psychiatrist. They're not the cheapest but they're known for consistent quality and delivery is accurate and timely. I use the 5, 10 and 15 mg soft gels. One note, you might want to order small quantities until you find out what works or doesn't work for you. The company has frequent sales, which I use to "stock up". So if the product works for you, wait for the sales! Good luck.

Thanks for the information. Am I correct in assuming that the CBD oil does NOT contain any THC?

No THC? That's hard to say. Most CBD oil does have minute barely measurable quantities of THC, which will in no way be "mind altering" as consuming THC in larger amounts. However, minute quantities can be problematic for people being drug tested for work. If you have a question, contact the company you intend to buy from. Also, work with your HR or facility security officer to see what their policy is. Perhaps they can give you a waiver for the minute quantity of THC you may consume.

I use CBDMD. They are very reliable and have good "deals."

Thank you for the info. I may go the medical marujuana route as my doctor has suggested, but thought I'd try the CBD oil first.

I take Tumeric capsules. Is there a benefit in the milk?

Milk is also good for sleep, it contains tryptophan and melatonin, which also helps with healthy sleep cycles:)

I buy CBD gummies to help me sleep. I've toasted marijuana and added it to chocolate. I overdosed by licking the bowl. I was out of it , totally stoned for 7 hours. I could still feel my feet being "crackly "during the whole miserable experience, so the THC didn't help me,

Oh joy!
Didn't your mommy tell you to not lick the bowl? That will teach you! Oh wait, I lick bowls.
Sorry to read you were out of it and felt miserable though. Can you look back at it and smile now, or is it too painful? In that case it's good if my reaction didn't hurt your feelings but I don't know you, of course!

I laugh when i tell the story myself. Not only did I lick the bowl, I took crunchy little bites of the toasted stuff as I put it all together. I was shocked when about 90 minutes later I started feeling so weird. I ended up flat on my back unable to move to even take a sip of water. (And my numb feet actually bothered me as I lay there in and out of consciousness!) I very much enjoyed your response.
