CBD oil for anxiety
DaisyB:
Day 6 - ok so this is all anecdotal ;) cbd taken twice a day 2 drops on tongue. Added B12 in on day 3 - anxiety has been turned down from a 9/10 to 1/2 😇 I can't be sure if it's cbd or the B12 or the combo?
Once I have a full week of reduced anxiety I will remove B12 - to try and gauge if it's influencing the result.
I also ordered ashwagandha tincture form my health store - enough to last me a year lol
I've no patience so I am adding this in today.
As I said 1 month - once a clear week free of crippling anxiety happens I will eliminate B12 to see what happens.
Ashwagandha is also for anxiety but approaching from a longer term angle - in that it's an adaptogen working to balance the endocrine system. So this is something I will likely stay on and not mess around with.
Work in progress 😇

Good luck DaisyB :great:.
I cannot mess aroung with my endocrine system, my endo would hit the roof as he has a hard job with my thyroid levels as it is (the reason I didn't go down the HRT route). So I will stick with the SSRI and BB which help on the whole :)

Think I'm lucky BJ in that I was underactive but still had a choice to either control (at this stage with diet) or accept thyroxine. I am willing to try and find a way to balance and manage it all that doesn't rely on long term meds. That said i have the luxury of being able to try this as many women have no choice but to be on medication.
For me could I know I could manage a lot better if I didn't have the crippling anxiety every time I feel a pain, tremor, pins and needles, etc etc
I'll keep posting
;)

Hello again DaisyB.
Thank you for the update, I'll be following with interest.
Btw our local college held a mock election last week and it was won by the candidate who promised to legalise cannabis! There's a lot of it about lol.
Wishing you well.
