I take CBD oil and I have to admit that sometimes it helps and other times it doesn’t. I actually need some more. It may be a mindset though because it does calm me for the time being.

Everyone reacts differently I tried CBD oil on 13th April this year and it made me feel suicidal I lost my appetite for a week the depression has lasted a long time I am still not right

You may be fine , please just start with low dose if you decide to try it

That's pretty severe....I have to say that if people are having reactions like that there should be some kind of warning ... being an old hippie from back in the day, I know some of the old strains could make you a bit paranoid, but that has been bred out of the pot these days and there is no THC, psychoactive in CBD oil.

I must be super sensitive yet I smoked hash sometimes when I was younger.

It was only UK NHS that warned of suicidal thoughts and depression but I only read that after I had taken it

I'll have to look that up because I've never heard of it before....but everyone's chemistry is different, and it's why we all have different reactions to meds. I always cringe really when someone asks for advice about taking a drug because of that. It's always best really to talk to a doctor who is knowledgeable and knows about potential risks.

Another thing is natural stuff can be more potent and dangerous than big pharma ' drugs

That's why you go to a qualified herbalist. Here where I live we actually have schools to teach herbal healing, and you become licensed just like with any other profession. I always tell someone who wants to take any med, herbal or otherwise.....know what you’re putting into your body, ask your doctor or don't do it.

I think it can help, I tried it and had no reaction, just a calming effect. But only the pure oil, not the mixed compound with hemp oil in it. Also it has to be at least 5-10%, which you may have to order online as most pharmacy's only carry the compound or a low percentage. It does not make you high, no THC.

I hear ya, everyone's chemistry is different, like all the people who say SSRI's don't work for them, and for me they are a life saver.....my brother is resistant to SSRI's, they give him terrible side effects, and he has had to learn to live with his disease med's free.
