CBD oil - cortisol levels?

[Margimet]

Any experience with cannabidiol oil?

I'm taking these two prescribed by a doctor to treat anxiety, depression, ADHD and insomnia.

Maybe they are affecting my cortisol levels?

Edit:

I was diagnosed with ADHD before Hashimoto.

Last month it was my rhinoseptoplasty and they applied intramuscular corticosteroids. It affected my sleep a lot.

My symptoms: restlessness, nervousness, low stress tolerance, very tired, irritability, palpitation, I feel sick.

I've taken CBD oil, with nothing but good to say about it.

Your symptoms sound like under-medication. What are your thyroid hormone levels?

My last blood tests were in February. I will do them again tomorrow.

Good idea.

I am a long time user. I started using it in 2018 and it has helped me manage all sorts of chronic pain. The one I use is £70 for 10ml so I tend to top up in sales.

I stopped using it recently (due to pregnancy) and I haven’t restarted while on Levothyroxine however I wouldn’t hesitate if I wanted to either.

It’s worth a go. Do your reading on a few trusted sources (many are regulated by certain bodies) to find a good one quality one (especially ans too many claim to be CBD annd are actually hemp). You want full flavonoids and spectrum. Always start on a low dose.

As a newbie, I’d recommend the sublingual method too.

I hope that helps.

P.S. some people have to try a few before they find one that actually helps, and I am sure this is as they are just buying hemp in error.

I take prescription CBD and THC (in a lower quantity and only at night) for anxiety and pain. There is nothing bad I could say about it. The saying "Start low, go slow" is good advice and, just like figuring out the right dose of T4 and T3, this was another listen-to-your-body-experience. From what I learned, it is advisable to stay with the same brand(s) once I settled on them, because they all seem to be a little bit different from each other, which makes it difficult to find the right dose when hopping around between brands. I still continue to try figuring out why I need to take the stuff in the first place in hopes to get to the bottom of things and find a way to support my body, mind and spirit to heal itself. The body is so complex and there is so much to explore and learn.
