CBD oil

[Kingfisher65]

Has anyone tried CBD oil for RLS shop bought or homemade? If so any relief?

[Joolsg]

Yes. It didn't help at all.I did use medical cannabis oil with 20% THC ( the psychoactive stuff) during withdrawal from Ropinirole and it did knock me out for 30 mins after 4 days of no rest/sleep.

For me, CBD has no effect. I vape Indica strains (makes you sleepy, not wired) with THC - that helps me with sleep and sometimes with mild RLS symptoms.

I take cbd oil 10/10. I must say it's been a life saver for me. I take 2 ibuferen and 2 panadol and 1ml of the cbd oil before I go to bed and I'm getting between 7 and 8 hours sleep. I still wake around 5am, with pain in my leg but it's manageable

Do you ingest the CBD oil? I’ve never tried it, only THC.

[Jumpey]

It didn't help.

I suspect CBD oil can make RLS worse, I think it increases serotonin. It’s stimulating. It’s generally considered that THC helps with insomnia, and it does help me sleep.

Unfortunately it didn’t help me either.

Id say CBD is over priced and does nothing. THC can help some, it helps me sometimes if i get dose right, if you have never smoked:used cannabis be careful it can make them worse sometimes and or get you wasted and give you munchies 🤣

You put the cbd oil under your tongue. It absorbs faster that way. It has a slight taste but you get used to it
