Going off of Xanax
I have been taking Xanax for 25 years for Fibromyalgia and Anxiety. I am trying to wean myself off of it. Has anyone done this?

Thanks so much for your reply . Did you use the hemp oil while weanin? How much CBD do you use per day?
I did get the CBD oil with THC while weaning as well as joints. I don’t like smoking them I cough way to much. The oil helped more. At this time I just use Hemp oil, usually two droppers a day. But I started slowly with only a few drops at a time
What’s the difference between hemp oil and cbd oil? I took the cbd with THC and it caused many problems Did it help anxiety?
There is no difference between the two. CBD with THC I can handle but only in a very small amount. If I snake it it makes my anxiety and panic worse which I was told it can do by my therapy office
@rascal, Although I do not want to be negative, I do have an altered view of the response. Here is a link to a pretty good explanation of all facets of this issue. I also know that there is a Mayo video interview that covers this topic, which I have seen on Connect and is available online. I would hate for anyone to purchase something for which there is no hope of helping with a serious medical issue. I got caught in this trap with the mess in CA last year and succumbed out of desperation. For me, there was absolutely no pain assistance from hemp oil in any shape, form, or quantity.
Me too! Can’t take the THC. Tried the CBD oil just once but now know the dosage is different for each person and to start just a drop a day and work up. Wonder how long it will take to quell the anxiety !!
Tried the cbd lozenges and gummy bears but didn’t help.
Thank you for your reply! It’s such a confusing topic whether CBD helps with pain, anxiety, depression! Some very strong testimonials in its favor and others the opposite.
I’m sorry your experience was not good.
@artscaping Hi chris I agree I use hemp oil for the Omega,s that are in it My understanding is there is CO2extraction to get the pure cbd from the hemp seeds correct?
@lioness.....here is the quote from the linked article.....Hemp oil is produced from the seeds of the hemp plant, much like oils derived from olives, almonds, and coconuts. CBD is produced from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the Cannabis sativa plant.
@artscaping Thanks for the clarification I dont much about it but learning
