I’ve started taking CBD oil twice daily almost like a supplement to hopefully help with my anxiety.


Anyone else use it? Or has tried it? If so, how are your experiences with it?

Thanks a lot!

I'd like to hear more about this, too. Has it helped you so far? I've tried multiple supplements over the past year without success. I've been wondering about CBD but it's ridiculously expensive even at low concentrations so I'd like to hear some testimonies before I make the investment.

From what I've heard it's effectiveness varies from person to person. Personally I tried it for a few weeks and didn't notice any changes, but that may not be the case for you. I'd say give it a try if it's something you can afford

I've recently bought some ashwangandha capsules that I'm going to try, if those don't help I'll give CBD a chance. What concentration was the oil you tried?

So far I’ve noticed I haven’t really been getting panic attacks as much, aswell as yesterday, I was doing things yesterday and noticed I felt almost normal.. but today I’ve had more anxious feelings. But I think it’s doing at least something for me.

I am not completely sure. I can give you some information though. It is HempWorx 500 Hemp-Derived Crystalline CBD. It is a 30 ml bottle. Hope that can help you? Thanks!

Thanks, at least it appears to have a mild effect!

Thanks! I live in Europe so we have different brands, but I've looked things up online and I might have figured out what a good starting dosage would be for me, lol. These things are complicated!

Today is my 4th day on CBD. I’m on a low dose. I take it in the morning, I decided to do that since I take my lexapro at night. It does make me sleepy (if i let myself take a nap, I will!) but if I stay busy I can push through the sleepiness. It definitely gives me a calm feeling for a few hours. I feel like I need a stronger dose or to take a second dose later in the day for full coverage/sleep assistance.

What is your experience with Lexapro? Bad side effects?
