Cbd oil

[Julierosa]

Has anyone tried cbd oil? I am on pain meds for many reasons and will be on them for life. I hate the side effects and am hoping with the cbd oil, I can take less AND be in less pain. Somethings gotta work

I have tried the CBD oil that I purchased from a spa / salon. It didn't work too well. I did see some relief, but not enough for the price I paid for it. I have tried the CBD oil from a legal dispensary and it works a lot better.

Yes I've used cbd oil I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome as well as neuropathic pain In my back and a bursa in my hip. Ive been on 90mg of Duloxetine and also codeine 60mg and pregablin 300mg. I was still in pain and the side effects from the pregablin were horrendous. Although cbd oil hasn't worked for my neuro pain. Its definitely worked for fibromyalgia pain. You can only give it ago see if things improve. Hope this helps. Isabel

Hi. CBD products work well for me. I have reduced my opiates by 40 %.

My suggestions are

Don't use high street products, they are too weak

Be prepared to wait a bout 3 weeks for cbd to work.

Leave at least 2 hours before and after taking painkillers.

Take regularly, 3 times a day is suggested . CBD isn't taken only when pain is bad. It needs to build up in your body.

If yiu are on Facebook join a support group. Advice is invaluable.

Where would you recommend buying better quality CBD products?

Also can you give us the name of the fb support groups?

Thanks!

Thank you! I purchased the tincture oil from a dispensary. I did not realize 3x/day. I have been taking 5 drops every night. My fear is that it’s not federally regulated and since I take pain meds, I can be drug tested. Do u also have that issue?

CBD doesn't show up in a drug test. It's not like THC. I go to a legal dispensary as wellm

CBD CONSUMER GROUP UK/EU is the group I use. There are others. CBD brothers are the company I use but there are other recommendations on the support group forum.
