CBD oil as treatment?

Postby TuesdayC » Tue Aug 01, 2017 5:38 pm

Has anyone turned to cbd (cannabinoid oil) as a way to treat symptoms like anxiety, nausea, and restlessness? I've started taking it twice a day and it's helped me sleep without needing to take sleep medication and I'm hoping it will help my physical symptoms of anxiety. Has anyone had any experiences with this route? I'm on too many meds and it's taking a toll on my body and I'm only 22.

While CBD is advertised as a kind of catch-all for helping things, THC often has a destabilizing effect in Bipolar patients, and due to brain chemistry can become mentally addictive.
So, be careful what's in your CBD, I guess. If it helps, great, but if you can get it sans THC, that's my only cautionary advice.
But I'm no doctor, obviously, so do whatcha want.
