CBD oils or ?

Anyone try CBD oils or other alternatives do to problems with Sinemet?

I’ve been taking both since about 2 months. The CBD that I take is derived from hemp and doesn’t contain THC so it is not psychogenic. Available online from Charlotte’s Web.

Thanks for your response. A very new path to look into.Don't want the THC so will check it out!

Both CBD and THC are cannabinoids – or more specifically, phytocannabinoids since they are plant based. When consumed, they are ‘exogenous cannabinoids.’ Those your body already produces are endocannabinoids.

Phyto – plant | endo – within (you) exo – outside (of you)

While THC is most plentiful in marijuana, CBD is present in higher quantities in hemp. There are dozens, at least a 100, known cannabinoids. THC and CBD are the most well-known as their effects are the most understood. THC gets you high. CBD doesn’t. That’s usually the conversation.

One of the key differences between CBD and THC when it comes to hemp oil supplements is that, unlike THC, cannabidiol or CBD is non-psychoactive. THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol is the chemical compound in cannabis that is responsible for producing euphoric effects. However, in CBD hemp oil products, THC is present in only trace levels, far below the psychoactive threshold. Because CBD produces no known negative side effects, it is regarded as safe for use by anyone in your family. Yep, you read that right. It’s regarded as safe from baby to baby boomer.

P.S. I got a bar of SATORI dark chocolate and CBD /high THC. It's the best I have found for lower back pain without taking ANY pain pills.

What are you trying to treat? Dyskinesia? Tremor?

[timetoVEGE in reply to Juliegrace]

Going off Sinemet due to side effects and just wanting to reduce tremors and anxiety other general symptoms!

[Juliegrace in reply to timetoVEGE]

It might help to try a different form of Sinemet. I switched from 25/100 to 10/100 and my dyskinesia is better. Still present but less and more tolerable.

What dose of Sinemet are you taking ?

[1953bullard]

I started CBD oil and I take 25/100 xr sinemet. The cbd seems to help my tremors and my mood and I sleep really well
