Does CBD oil help you with your depression and/or anxiety?

I tried some CBD gummies in CO on a recent trip there. They had a very low dose of THC , 5mg. I have suffered with depression and anxiety for at least 20 years. I take Cymbalta for my depression, but have never been able to find anything that didn't make me feel crummy for anxiety. This low dose gummy was like a miracle for my anxiety in that it just took the "edge off" for me. I did not feel high , i just felt a little calmer. I wish they were legal in my state. Believe me I do every thing that is recommended for anxiety as far as lots of exercise, preferably outdoors. Listen to fun music, dance,etc. I have been saving them for my worst days. I wish doctors recognized that they really help with anxiety.

I have taken generic Prozac for many years. It didn’t seem like it was helping my depression any more. My psychiatrist switched me to Lexapro which is in same category of drugs. He actually had me just switch drugs, no gradual change. I believe it is helping. It has taken a month and I feel better. I hope this gives you hope for a positive change. Best of luck.

My psych didn’t mention another SSRI :/
Just remeron or cymbalta after 7 days of yuck Effexor. So afraid to try another and have to do another withdrawal

Every individual has different needs and I would think your doctor knows best. Although, a second opinion can be an option. If you go to Mayo clinic.org under Drugs and Supplements, you can look up Lexapro or other depression meds to read more about them.

Thank you I will. So far have been checking with drugs. Com and rxlist

I am clinically depressed for years. I am using medical marijuana for pain and it has helped my depression for the most part.

I suffer from anxiety and depression severe.. went to a psychiatrist ..tried many of the popular medications.. Prozac paxville and many others ..none helped ..some made me feel worse ..I eventually gave medical marijuana try .. my mood was elevated..
I felt better ..I felt like living again ..it's also a great pain reliever for neuropathy ..lower back pain.. it's not for everybody.. but it works well for me.. you have to make sure you do some research ..if you're a first-time user ..because some people can have reaction to it.. small doses at first

It didn’t work for me?

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.

GeneSight.com is genetic testing site I used, with my psychiatrist's involvement, to determine an effective anti-depressant for me. I've been on Desvenlafaxine (50 mg / day) for 2-3 years, and it is working better than the many others I have ever been on, which were all in the column on the report of being only a little or moderately effective. I've had three suicidal ideation episodes at 72, and my brother (age 84) has tried to commit suicide at least 25 times, according to his wife of over 50 years who almost divorced him because of it many years ago. Thus, my depression is severe, and GeneSight.com was literally life-saving for me. FYI.
