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

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

Presently headed to store to pickup CBD. I will report back to you as soon as I have any results good, bad or indifferent. I also I would like you to know that I do not use marijuana and I am not using any Pharmaceuticals to treat anxiety. I am neither for or against these products but I do fight anxiety. I have no real expectations of how this is going to turn out. Trying to go into this subjectively.

Hi, @hvacmac - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I have had to deal with anxiety personally, and I can attest to the fact that it can be hard.

I'd like to introduce you to others members who may have some input on using CBD for anxiety, like @mamabecci @cdcc @stephanieann @debralee @gailb.

Also, here is some Mayo Clinic information on anxiety you may find helpful https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anxiety/symptoms-causes/syc-20350961.

Will you share a bit about anxiety symptoms you have experienced (e.g., trembling, hyperventilation)?

Hopefully the oil works well for you. I suffer extreme anxiety upon waking and during the day, it’s non stop. I took myself off Ativan and hav3 been using Hemp oil. Seems to help some but I’m looking for better as I still am suffering. Today’s not all that good it just lingers and lngers

Hi all. I am totally new to CBD oil and just now resorted to it after battling depression, anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder for most of my life. I am 34 now. I am currently taking Lithium, Lamictal, Abilify, synthroid, and Gabapentin as all of these meds were added in a desperste attempt to manage my symptoms (mainly depressive episides with anxious tendencies). What are anyone's thougts or knowledge on augmenting these meds with cbd oil and is there potential that it might help me to be able to reduce dosages or discontinue them? I have more questions, but that is all for now. Thanks for any feedback.

@lalyfa,

I think you need to let your doctor know what is going on with you first. Then, I don't know how CBD Living Water would react with your other medications because for me it was quite benign.

@lingram I used CBD to help get off Lexapro.... I think it would be fine, but always check with your dr. if you have an ally and your doc knows what you are doing, if you run into problems it's so much easier if the already know.

@ray94903 Hi No not all CBD oil has THC in it. THC is the property in cannabis that causing the "high" feeling.
