The downside of CBD oil

lillyofthevalley37 profile image

It's a month since I took CBD oil 13th April It made me lose my appetite and become severely depressed to the point of wanting to throw myself off a cliff

Nowhere on the Internet did it mention bad side effects of cbd oil it was only on NHS website that it stated a side effect was suicidal thoughts

I felt it trickle down to my gut and it had a really bad effect I am still depressed but less so mornings are the worst

The good side is I really know what it means to be depressed now , it would be interesting to know if anyone else had a bad reaction to cbd oil

Haven’t tried it, and may not after hearing your experience. Sounds awful,but how do you feel that it’s now out of your system?

Oil based vitamins can stay in your system for 6 months I figure it must be the same for cbd oil

CBD OIL is usually for pain. What I have has no THC in it. However my gummies and pen does. I have never heard of CBD OIL causing depression. I use to take opioids for pain. Since I've been using the oil and marijuana I am completely off the opioids. I've decreased my depression meds and I'm working on decreasing my anxiety meds. Remember marijuana is a natural plant and can help if used in moderation for several ailments.

I take CBD oil. 3 drops under my tongue morning and 3 at night. I am now able to be completely off my anxiety medication (Buspar). I still have panic attacks, but they, haven’t been as severe or as often as before. In fact, instead of taking 1-2 whole Klonopin pills (1-2 pills day as needed for the onset of an attack), because the attack can last about an hour and can hit again later in the day, I now only have to take 1/2 pill and it stops the attack within about 20 minutes and the 1/2 pill last all day. I know there’s different CBD oils out there and can affect people differently. I’m so sorry you had a bad experience with yours 😔. I would tell you the one I’m using, but I don’t know if we are allowed too. I DO NOT SALE THEM!!! I order them online or buy it at a specialty store. The cool thing is, they offer empty bottle 100% money back guarantee. Again, I do not sale/advertise/promote it/them. I’m just giving you my own personal experience with it.

Buspar....tell me more please. Why did you stop?

I was rxd Buspar and Effexor and don’t see these mentioned much on here. For Depression Anxiety. I haven’t taken them yet. Want to clean out too.

When I first started taking Buspar, it was great! After a year, it suddenly stopped working for me. Instead of helping control my anxiety, it did the opposite. It, actually caused me to have anxiety attacks and I felt nervous all the time. That, proceeded to cause me to have more panic attacks. I know a lot of people who uses Buspar and have great results. It just stopped working for me after being on it for a year.

CBD oil of 100% therapeutic quality is hard to know if that’s what one is buying. There are tens of thousands quick produced so called cbd products.

I do have a Medical Marijuana Card and they have CBD without THC.

I bought over the counter before and it seemed to be just oil from something like you buy for cooking like crisco or canola. So hopefully it wasn’t true cbd that caused your problems. I sure hope you feel better soon.

I use CBD oil, but I wasn't using it properly because I was too nervous.

But I have just ordered some more and this time i will use it as it should be used.

My G.P knows that i am using it.

I've also told her where I'm buying it from She's quite happy to go along with that. Because she knows the company has a good name. It's from Canada.

Not what you're looking for?
