Does anybody use CBD oil for Anxiety?

Just that really.

I’m suffering a bit at the minute. I don’t want to go back onto medication really. I had to take a low dose of diazepam last night as was really struggling.

A friend suggested CBD oil so I got some from Holland and Barrett today and I think it’s helped. It could well be a placebo effect. I guess I’ll see if I get any sleep tonight ( struggled for 2 weeks now and I’m exhausted)

Any experiences? Anything I should be mindful of?

Thanks

I have a friend who uses it and a weighted blanket and swears by both- she suffers badly from anxiety.

In what way does it help anxiety does anyone know?

If you feel that it’s helped then it HAS helped and that’s that! Don’t question it too much Smile

yes but needs to be high grade like this to have the right impact for me.

It worked for me. Particularly the sleep bit. And I feel I can take or not take it as I prefer rather than having to gradually stop like antidepressants. As a pp said it works and I'm not questioning why too deeply in case it is placebo!

Ive been taking it for a few months. It's not yet approved in my country but I have been buying a full spectrum cbd oil and it's worked wonders for anxiety.

That’s great that it works for you all. I’m really hoping it helps me sleep tonight.

I can feel my chest getting tight and my muscles tensing again so I’m going to take some and head to bed

Hi there I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling, I could of actually written your post word for word myself. I have heard lots about cbd but never tried it as I got overwhelmed with the selection when I looked online. Would you mind sharing what one you actually bought from Holland and barret if you don't mind that is. I hope it continues to work for you.

Morning all.

I got this one on the advice of the sales advisor. It’s mid strength and a good starter she said.

It definitely helped me fall and stay asleep. Unfortunately my son had a nightmare and had me up at 3.30 for an hour but I did fall back to sleep and stay asleep until 7 when he got me up again. So not a fair assessment but I did sleep better I think.

I’m quite anxious today and my son is being a pain but I’m also in the throws of PMT. I think the CBD has helped a bit today. I guess it’s hard to say as I could be worse without it
