@colleenyoung I’m glad I did because depression meds make me feel dull and not care about anything and now I feel more aware and I’m learning to “deal” with life and I feel happy. Other people that know me see that too. I wouldn’t recommend NOT taking depression meds if you really need it. For me I don’t take cbd everyday. I don’t have anxiety like I used to. Here and there when I have anxiety I seek the cbd at night and pray or talk to someone close that I trust. I have been on meds since 2004 and I’m scared of long term meds plus I got thyroid cancer in2021 and I want to concentrate on that one pill I have to take forever due to the missing thyroid. I want to cope with life the best I can and I’ve been doing a whole lot better. I hope this helps someone else. There’s hope.

@colleenyoung also I thought I needed to go back to the depression meds and when I did take it , I was so sick and I stopped the same day. I feel better without it. Yes , when I stopped, I did tapper off by using the cbd oils for about 2 -3 weeks only.
