Has anyone tried Cbd oil? We are going to try Green Compass (thc free) first.

We are using Cbd patches. My son has noticed a difference. We are hoping they will help enough that he will no linger need medication.

How long taking it before you saw a difference? It has been 2 days using thc free. No difference.

Yes!!! They seem to slow my 5 year old down to where he is correctable and less anxious. It also has helped his asthma and helped to offset the MAJOR anxiety issues he has when on his steroid inhaler.

There is a FB group specifically for ADHD kids and CBD.

4 days and then it didnt seem to work and then really noticable again at 6 weeks. We started with .25ml at night for a week, then went to .25ml twice a day and then gradually to .35ml twice a day. He even noticed after a week or so that he was calmer. We use a broad spectrum 250mg one called Ritual Rx.

When he's on steroids we bump him up to .50ml twice a day. He weighs 48 pounds. He is still disrespectful at times and some days visibly cannot sit still but it's a more controlled cant sit still. He will stand in one place and fidget while he does his work or eats or ask for help instead of just running around if that makes sense. I think it takes the edge off. He's also stopped messing around when the other ADHD boy at school does and is now cognizant of how annoying that is for other students. He was getting 6 to 8 dojo points a week, sometimes less and week 8 on CBD he got 14 points, an award in PE, and his teacher messaged me that he needed zero reminders to stay on task etc. That remained in the following week as well.

On steroids he is usually aggressive and cries constantly. The CBD seems to take the edge off and he will cry here and there and may have a 5 min outburst but it's nothing like before.
