My 17 year old dd suffers from anxiety and insomnia. I've been reading about the positive effects of cbd products but would like to know if anyone has experience (good or bad) of taking it.

Have you been to the GP?

I don't know to be honest. DC has ocd and I've read some stories where their ocd has gone into overdrive after taking them..

I have no experience of this but posting as I’m also interested to find out. I have a somewhat younger DD. Soon to be 14. Her anxiety is through the roof and I’m hoping to find a natural remedy to help. I hope you find something that works for your DD

Following for interest.
Much like above poster I have a 14 who is really struggling at moment.
Doc won't prescribe until she has seen professional. But appointment is still 3 months away. So looking at alternative treatment.

I'm not a teenager by a long shot, mid thirties, but I use Cbd gummies for my anxiety and occasionally a cbd vape as well although I wouldn't recommend the vape for a teen I only mention it as I switch between the two depending on the situation as my gummies are a lower strength and the vape a very high strength.

I used to be medicated by my Dr but don't take it anymore.

I don't know if I'd be a good comparisons between a teen but happy to answer any questions if you wanted

Oral lavender oil is another good one. In trials it was found to have the same effect as 0.5mg Lorazepam.

I'd be really interested in the CBD vape, where did you buy it? Which one. I'm clueless. Thanks

Vape wise I use the Holy grail from ice head, it's very strong I would recommend something weaker to start with.

I used it more often in the beginning but now I don't need it much.
