CBD trial

[Tamaroy]

I have just ordered CBD, hoping it works so that I can come down on tabs. If it helps I will keep you posted.

Are you still taking Pramipexole? Nothing will help if you’re still suffering augmentation on pramipexole.

Cannabis oil with THC will help give you a little sleep during withdrawal from dopamine agonists but plain CBD oil doesn’t seem to help severe RLS or augmentation symptoms.

I agree with the comment on the marginal benefit of the oil plus THC. CBD even with the THC takes a while to kick in...1 or even a couple of hours and even then it hasn't been very effective. For me a quick puff (Toke in the old days) of a cannabis cigarette, has an almost immediate effect making me drowsy. Much more than that and I am pleasantly tripping but not sleeping

There's really no such thing as "CBD oil".

There's lots of different brands which use that label, but there are considerable differences in what they contain.

It seems the most effective brands are ones that contain a significant proportion of THC.

Depending on where you live, it may not be possible to get CBD with THC legally.

See how you go with what you've ordered and please let us know if it worked AND what it contains.

Where did you get it & what strength is it as I have read varied reports.

[Tamaroy]

I have wanted to try it for ages but it has been too expensive to find out it doesn’t work, soI got it from a site that was advertised on the TV, accesscbd.uk. As a trial for me I have placed an order for the medium strength, cheaper than anywhere else, guaranteed. Take a gander see what you think in comparison. If it works I will be buying it 2 at a time as there isn’t any postage charge then.Good luck

Best of luck with your experiment! I was given CBD oil (without THC) as a gift - but I found it did nothing at all. I've experimented with cannabis and found it helps a lot with insomnia, but does nothing to help severe restless leg symptoms. But we're all different.

I get CBD capsules from Lazarus naturals online and it stops my RLS! You have to be really careful where you get your CBD. The first CBD I got locally made me sick every time I tried it. Lazarus has all their products third party tested. And no I don’t work for them. I still have some issues with getting to sleep even without the RLS. I tried THC but for it to knock me out for sleep, it leave me feeling to ‘off’ in the morning. Whenever you start taking CBD, start off slow and work your way up to what works best for you. I’m not sure it will take the RLS away if you are still augmenting but might take the edge off.

In conclusion, CBD gave me my life back. I have worked my way up to 70mg and is the perfect dose for me without breakthrough RLS. Still trying to find a good sleep solution. Planning on asking Dr about trazodone for sleep.

I’ve lived through augmentation so good luck coming down. It wasn’t fun but actually, at the time, it was a relief to go back to RLS only in evenings and nights.

Thanks for the advice, I have ordered from a reputable firm, I’m just giving it a go, anything to stop RLS, suffered now for over 40 yrs.
