We do have MM, I have CBD oil no thc, and a vape I did two puffs not large as it makes me cough so bad. Still feeling down. What is True OG. Or OG Kush. This is all new to me , I have no idea why thupis is lasting as long as it is. Lyrica took over my system now withdrawling from it for 5 months has taken me down. Iv3 I’ve over 30 lbs and I only weighed 128

My story (short version) - I had SEVERELY PAINFUL!!! lower back sciatica a year ago, was put on opioids by Doctor, (hydrocodone, etc) (See? Solve it with a pill is the modus operandi" for many dr's) and a friend in al legal MM state gave me some MM she takes for glaucoma. She uses edibles, no smoking, makes cookies out of it, per her doctor, mixes it in the butter. Anyway, I took 3 hits and the MM did more than about 5 bottles of opioids did!!! I of course, immediately stopped the opioids and used the MM. MM comes in strains. If you can legally get it, get strains called "Indica" and, specifically, the strains "OG Kush" and "True OG" and, after 3 hits, or bites of a cookie, and you will smile, laugh and then lull into a dreamy sleep for the night. With no pain at all.

Not a good day. I awoke with anxiety and crying then diarrhea. Came downstairs took Ativan waited an hour then CBD old, no THC: I’ve cried off and on all day and it’s only early afternoon. My husband made me take two small puffs on the vape. Feel somewhat calmer, no high. I just want God go take me, I can’t keep up like this

I had your day last week. Lots of pain led to lots on anxiety which led to sleeplessness, etc. Two years ago a friend with steadily worsening MS and I made a mutual anti suicide pact. It's helped both of us.

A little better just took another Ativan as anxiety was hitting and I don’t want it to go into a crying depression. Made phone calls to lawyers ref Lyrica class action law suits, some one needs to pay for how this has changed my life for the worse

I am @marield65 and i was on Lyrica. Had bad paranoia and hallucinating. Got off it right away. Sorry you are having depression from it. That should not be. Were you on it for a long time? There is so many meds I cannot take. I am on Vicodin for severe back pain and could get a liscence for MM, but what do I do when I travel? One day at a time.....

What is CBD Living Water? And where can it be purchased? This depression is doing a number on me. Thank you

I too want to try CBD Living Water for my anxiety. I found a place that sells it. Will report on results when I try it. I simply can’t stand these bouts of anxiety any more. Please let us know if anything is truly working for you. Thank you everyone!

Hi @marield65 -- I noticed that you have not posted on Mayo Connect for quite some time. Just wanted to check in and see how you are feeling.

I am glad to have found this thread. I live with severe Crohn's Disease, and dislike the high that most recreational users of cannabis enjoy, because I also live with panic disorder, and that high makes me feel anxious. I know that many Crohn's sufferers have found relief from pain and other Crohn's symptoms, but none of my doctors are willing to sign the Iowa Department of Public Health form that simply says I qualify for Iowa's program, so it is extremely frustrating.

Has anyone tried mushrooms for relieving anxiety and depression? I would like to hear about it. I am moving to Colorado where it's all legal and would like to get off antidepressents and anxiety meds. They say it's not for trippen - but used in place of antidepresents and anxiety meds. I want to get off all my psych meds -- especially Klonopin as I've heard a lot of negative comments comments about long term use. I've been on Klonopin for about 25 - 30 years and my new psych is weaning me off of it.
