@kel1 , Hi
Thanks for sharing this information about you!
I am feeling much better with the CBD treatment compared to conventional treatment with AEDs (Lamictal, Tegretol, Trileptal, Vimpat and Gabapentin) that I have tried for 2 years. If the CBD has eliminated 100% my seizures? No, but my seizures have reduced and have become milder. I prefer to have my average of 2 seizures a month with CBD rather than no seizures at all with some AED I took and feel depressed, with bad sleep, and experience other terrible side-effects I had with AEDs. I was in bed most of the time during this treatment, living like a sick person. Now I am back to a "normal" life and smiling again. But again, as I have mentioned I am a very sensitive person to any traditional medication. The reactions to traditional medication are much harder on me and in some cases, I do reverse the effects of those medications. I am happy for those that can control their seizures with an AED.
CBD is known for its calming effects, but what I believe helps me the most with my anxiety is my yoga practice (hatha yoga),
Hope you stay well 🙂
Santosha

@santosha also how do you feel on lamictal I saw you were taking it. I have dizziness and get nauseous.
I can only take a low dose. Not sure if you saw my comment about the book on being vegan.
