Hi, sounds like you're having a really hard time. I hope you get some relief soon.I have taken cannibis oi capsules but they didn't stop symptoms. They were relaxing though. I think it depends on the strenght of the product you are using and your individual reaction to them. I took up to 4 capsules of the purple strain from CBD Brothers. Good luck.x

Martyn, 2 things - for CBD to help RLS symptoms, most people find they also need THC. I live in a state where it’s legal, and it’s helped me a lot. I use the Indica strain. It does help with the symptoms - cream to apply where I feel the symptoms, and then I use a vape pen. I’m wearing myself off Mirapex. What has amazed me is what’s happening right now - I’m out of town, couldn’t transport the products with me, and feared I would need to go back to my regular dose of Mirapex - not so! I do take a little, most days it’s been just 1 pill (.5) down from 4/day. I’m having hardly any symptoms at all, and only a little bit at night. I’m starting to think my chronic sleep deprivation was part of what was aggravating my symptoms because that’s the only difference I can detect - with the CBD/THC products, I sleep like a baby. Now out of town without them, I sleep almost as well. Unheard of in my life for that past 40 years.

Second thing - the dose needed varies from person to person. You’ll need to experiment, and may need more the first few weeks, somewhat less after that. Again, the difference may be that people need less once they start sleeping well and through the night.

This is just my experience and I haven’t yet tried to find others with a similar experience. I should mention that I’ve tried various meds in the past to help me sleep, but the sleep wasn’t as good or natural feeling as the sleep I get from CBD/THC. Best of luck - I hope you’re able to try it!
