CBD Experience?

[fallenwing]

Does anyone have experience with CBD gummies/oil? I just got a pack of 1000mg ones and I was thinking of using those to help get over my agoraphobia and other anxieties. The only worry I have is if it'll interact with my current prescriptions.

Do they actually help with anxiety or depression?

[fallenwing in reply to JA3344]

I did research and watch videos of people's personal experience and it's known to cause a more relaxed state. So yes I believe it will help with anxiety.

Because I've tried meds didnt work much as it would make me worse or give me side effects,but yea i also heard about cbd working

I vape Koi CBD vape juice 250mg, and I recently purchased some NuLeaf 245mg CBD drips but i haven’t tried it yet. I like vaping the CBD because it impacts you quickly, but it doesn’t stay in your system very long, which is why I got the drop. I also tried NuLeaf because they are full-spectrum and I read that full-spectrum have a great impact for pain and anxiety. I do want to try some gummies however, and I was looking at PureKana and Premium Jane funnies because they are both vegan and gluten-free, which is what I want. PureKana has great reviews and it’s a little cheaper than the other. They are both CBD isolate, which mean they remove everything from the plant process expect for the CBD. It is 99% thc free, which I’m not completely sure how accurate that is. I don’t want to have to rely on the vape all the time, so i’m looking for something that i can take easily, and will stay in my symptom longer.

What brand did you get and what prescriptions are you taking? ? I have agoraphobia as well, but I can’t really get a high dosage of CBD because my blood pressure tends to drop sometimes and CBD can drop your blood pressure

My brother bought me the Green Line gummies. And currently I'm on olanzapine, bupropion, and on occassion klonopin. I heard high mg of CBD can cause panic attacks so I'm a little worried that this path will just cause more of them. But I heard really good reviews of CBD oil and vapes that I wanna hope that it's my ticket to panic and worry free life

I was prescribed Lexapro, Busprine, and Vistaril, but I really didn’t want to take medication, so I took Anxiety-Free herbal supplements by Ridgecrest. Once it got into my symptoms, it helps tremendously with my crying spells and depression, and even decreased my anxiety symptoms a little bit. But after researching CBD, I decided to try it for anxiety, and the vaping has help. I was having an anxiety attack in the car once, and as soon as I took a hit of my vape, i started to calm down. The CBD i vape is CBD isolate. If you’re taking those medications, you can start taking a smaller dosage of CBD and work your way up. Also, if the gummies you have are full-spectrum, they might contain traces of THC and other things from the hemp plants, which some people say it has a stronger affect and be a little too much, especially with medication. But i have heard good things about full-spectrum CBD for people with pain and severe anxiety/panic disorder. A lot of them has said that they stopped taking their medication all together.

Some good CBD companies i have researched and have good reviews are:

PureKana (full-spectrum)

FabCBD (cbd isolate)

Koi (they are more popular for their vape juice, and cbd isolate)

Populum (full-spectrum)

NuLeaf (full-spectrum)

Charlotte’s Web (full-spectrum)

Medterra (cbd isolate)

SelectCBD (cbd isolate, plus essential oils)

Thanks for the info, should I just hold off on taking the 1000mg and buy a smaller mg? In that case what do you reccomend?

[stovall1992 in reply to fallenwing]

You’re welcome!

And if it’s you’re first time taking CBD, i would start off with a smaller dosage, and work your way up, depending on how you feel. A small dosage like 100, 250, or 300mg would be good start. I have the NuLeaf 245mg. It’s a really small bottle for a price, but it has a lot of amazing reviews and people said that that size has helped them greatly, and then they were able to move up their dosage. It’s full-spectrum however. Koi natural drops are full-spectrum as well, and they start off with 250mg. But the two I have heard a lot about is PureKana and NuLeaf, both full-spectrum. Fab is popular too, and they start off at 150mg. If you want something that is CBD isolate, Medterra is the way to go.

[stovall1992 in reply to stovall1992]

PureKana and Fab have different flavors, where as NuLeaf is just the natural flavor. It does smell a little weedy, but i’m suppose that because they wanted to customers to get all the plant benefits

[fallenwing in reply to stovall1992]

Thanks! I'll try one of those brands this is super helpful because I don't really know many people who use CBD. I need all the info I can get

[stovall1992 in reply to fallenwing]

No problem! Let me know if you have anymore questions

[stovall1992 in reply to fallenwing]

Also, if you want something that can help really quickly, vaping is a great suggestion. I stated before that I vape Koi, but HempBombs and CBDfx are great too. but make sure you do your own separate research, so you can find what’s right for you!

[fallenwing in reply to stovall1992]

For sure!! Im trying to find a good match for me in my small budget. But I'll start with a vape over edibles.

[stovall1992 in reply to fallenwing]

I went through the same thing. I spent weeks researching before I finally settled on Koi
