Comments about CBD and/or THC for neuropathy pain and paresthesia?

Posted by amkie @amkie, May 25, 2024

Anyone tried CBD topically or THC gummies or anything on that order for the burning radiating pain of neuropathy? Also has anyone had a neurologist suggest this as a potential therapy? I will ask my own neurologist but wanted some broader input in the meantime. Success anyone? My family thinks this should be considered. I have tried various topical and oral prescribed medications with little success so far. Thanks for any comments.

I have several medications for peripheral neuropathy in my feet, one is nortriptyline, pregabalin 300mls, CBD 100 FULL SPECTRUM 100mL oil taken with an (eye) dropper sublingually (under the tongue). The CBD has worked well for me for 8 months numbing the strong pain especially in the evening. I feel that I should try dropping one of the medications and I am thinking of the nortriptyline.

I find that interesting. Do you have side effects? I'm taking an oil under the tongue but find it makes me so fatigued all day, not much of an alternative. Mine is RSO

I see that your extract is mainly from the THC part of the plant, which normally gives the high when smoked etc. I don't have any side effects, fortunately!

These two ladies appeared on Dragons Den and won over nearly all the panelist’s with their CBD extract gummies for the treatment of peripheral neuropathy neuropathy. The dragons were all interested in making a deal. They’ve since gone into production and the reviews from users are very positive. Has anyone tried them?

Hello @bigjohnscho,

I combined your discussion with an existing discussion in Neuropathy titled:
