To CBD oil users

[gtate1914]

What time of day have you taken cbd oil and what strength? I was wondering when might be the best time to take cbd oil IF it was going to act as a steroid sparing agent.... in the morning or afternoon.... or even if it seemed to make any difference at all? What has been your experience?

Hi gtate1914

I am waiting forCBD Oil to be delivered, have it in my mind to take it about an hour after my normal medication, but will also be interested to know how other users take it

I wish you well x

I took my first dose yesterday, starting out low and charting results. Trying to educate myself about it. Like you, I'm very interested in how others are taking it and their results. And what strengths and how often. We can learn from each other Thanks

I had been taking .5ml, half a dropper, of 1000mg concentration once a day just before bed. I recently added another .5ml in the morning after my morning prednisone. I originally began taking CBD with the hope that it would help with the inflammation. It didn’t seem to make a difference. But I’ve been able to taper my pred dose relatively easily so far, from 15 to 8 over about a month, so maybe it’s been of some benefit. Guess I’ll know better when the pred is a little lower.

Wow! Wonderful. That sounds like a lot of reduction, sounds like it might be working for you. Did you start out at a lower dose and work up? How long have you been taking cbd oil? thanks for sharing!

How did you manage to buy it as I'm definitely going to give it a try I'm on 7m going down to 6 on Monday I've not done badly but I have days of pain like today I am on tramadol and paracetamol as I can't take other pain killers apparently, so hoping this oil will help?

[gtate1914 in reply to Jamie345]

I bought some online but have not received it yet. However, I went to a local pharmacy and they had a decent brand that was same price as online. I think this brand is also in the UK, Charlotte's Web. Next purchase will be for a higher strength however. More cost effective. Am learning. I think it's definitely worth a try!

I bought it online ResQOrganics.com. It was recommended by a friend who’s been using it for osteoarthritis. Excellent service and very helpful.

[Barbshow in reply to gtate1914]

I started at the 1000 ml half dropper dose. Started a couple of weeks before I went on prednisone.

This is a fast taper! Took me twice as long to drop from 15 to 10. Sounds like it's working well for you. Wishing you continued success.

I bought mine in Holland & Barratt. Told to build up slowly and needs few weeks to settle in. Put drops in under tongue and swill round for a minute before swallowing. Not to take any drugs within an hour. Hope this helps.

The advice I have is to leave a 2 hour gap between allopathic meds and CBD. I take my CBD at around mid day. If I need more I either use a Vale or take it at 8.00pm between other drugs xxx

[gtate1914 in reply to S4ndy]

I've also read 2 hrs between cbd and meds. So far after only 2 days of use I am encouraged with cbd, slept 7 hrs last night. Am going to order the raw paste with cbda, has shown promise of additional anti inflammatory benefits. Better absorption also.

I am taking 5 drops 3 times a day. Didn't realize not to take with other meds. I have just finished a bottle and ordered a second. Started feeling worse after I had stopped for 5 days off traveling so I think it helps. Dosing is tricky and when you factor in pred it's hard to get a solid result.

I found this site to be very helpful. Perhaps others on this forum would also.

Try this one, should work.

[bunnymom in reply to gtate1914]

It worked. Thanks

[gtate1914]

Hmmm. Sorry. Don't understand why it did not work for you. Anyone else have this problem?

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to gtate1914]

No, worked for me. That's in Italy - maybe it is regionally limited?

[gtate1914]

I re-posted and that one worked.
