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

I'm not a medical professional, but for what it's worth, from my experience with using CBD as needed, for five years now - - - it helps tremendously with anxiety but not at all with depression.

Sure, no problem. The company...
+PlusCBD

Not the cheapest but they run periodic specials at great discounts after your first order. Reliable delivery & good customer service.
I use 5, 10 & 15 mg gelcaps and capsules as needed. Go slow until you learn what works for you. My suggestion, avoid gummies - why take on the extra sugar. Good luck!

I’m not taking any, yet. That’s why I’m doing some research but it’s good to hear from someone that’s already taking it. Thanks

I’ve been suffering from depression my whole life. I’m 63 years old and recently I began having horrible anxiety attacks. I do see a psychiatrist regularly and take medication which helps a lot but everybody is talking about taking CBD
I wanted to know if it is really effective in combating anxiety

I never miss my meds. I’m not happy about having to take them but I’m grateful for them otherwise I wouldn’t be able to function at all.

Hi. I take Duloxetine and Clonazepan for depression and anxiety. The depression seems to be under control but the anxiety attacks are becoming more often and my psychiatrist told me there nothing he can prescribe me that is stronger than Clonazepan. I know that without it I can’t function or even survive but it’s not enough anymore and that’s why I wanted to try CBD. I don’t know if I’m Florida we can buy the water but I’ll see.

Your dr. is wro g. You can always go to another dr. till you get the help you need. I have anxiety black outs.
Sorta of like a seziure but not. You have to remember, all Dr's practice medicine they . are NOT God's. They rarelyheal they practice medicine. Go to all the drs you need to, to get help.
Never let them push you around emotionally because of their pedigree. Insist they accuraty help you.
