Use of Hemp Oil

[Willhelm62]

Has anyone had any success in using Hemp Oil supplements! I was taking Cymbalta for several years for anxiety and some depression, but it never completely helped. I traveled the world in my work so I just kept taking it. I am retired now and recently weened off the Cymbalta without any issues as others have experienced. I started taking hemp oil in hopes that it would give me more of a calm. My anxiety causes me to be ornery and often times not reacting to situations in a calm manner. I often react at a level 7 in anxiety by being ornery instead of calmly addressing the situation. I hate that! I would appreciate feedback on using hemp oil or anything else that you may have found that helped you. I am trying for a more natural solution rather than being part of the big pharmaceutical solution.

My experience with cannabis has been amazing, it’s really helped manage my anxiety in healthier way. Hemp oil is a great non-intimidating way to use cannabis. I haven’t personally used tinctures, but I’ve known people that do, they typically take effect faster then say an edible. However if I’m being honest, you should trying smoking the herb or Vaping cannabis oil. I know it can be intimidating, but smoking or Vaping cannabis will give you more potent and specific effects. My advice is to avoid most sativa strains and stick to indica and indica-dominant hybrids. Those strains will help you relax and sleep. When you feel more comfortable with it feel free to experiment with some sativas and sativa-dominate hybrids to find something that will help you stay alert and active throughout the day, but doesn’t give you any paranoia. If none of that is your cup of tea though you can still get some amazing results from CBD oil, specifically anxiety reducing results. But remember with CBD you usually have to take it consistently for about a week to start feeling results, it has to build up in your system in order to feel the full effect.

I am glad that it works for you. I read your other post about your parents finding your stash and hope that is working better for you. I don't want the "high" and where I live it is illegal. I appreciate the info that you provided here though.

I don't think the hemp oil supplements got the active chemical in it that gives you the high. I wouldn't bother with them.

Take up exercise. For senior citizens, you can't beat swimming. Yoga good too

I have been in travel mode since December. I couldn't travel back to my home due to COVID restrictions so have been hanging out with family. I am finally back in my "home country" and will soon be done with quarantine and back with my wife. The first item on my agenda is to buy a bicycle and start getting exercise. That is one of the safest methods as it keeps me out of crowds like one might find at a gym or pool. I will be so glad once we get past this COVID crap! I like the idea of Yoga as well and can do that anywhere. Thanks for the suggestions.

Try Ashwaganda, L Theanine and Skull cap. Check out Bach Essentials “White Chestnut” tincture. You can take 2drops 4 times a day. All of this will help you. The homeopathic expert at Sprouts recommended all of this to me and it has helped. Also, take Gaba, the ones that melt in your mouth, 100 mg. You can take those 3 times a day. You can Take all of this if you are NOT on medication. Read the reviews on Amazon to see how these have helped with anxiety, cortisol and stress. I got off Viibryd 6 months ago, after being on it for several years. Hope this helps. Blessings.

Thank you for the info! I had never heard of skull cap before (besides the one that we can wear, LOL). I researched it and it should help with the irritability that I sometimes feel. Thank you again!
FYI to anyone interested: I found these ingredients all included in this supplement
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WWFMCL4/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews ) on Amazon. It has several 4 and 5 Star ratings and folks explain how it has helped with anxiety, irritability, and sleep (to name a few). I ordered it and will give it a go. I will be sure to provide a review of this product here later. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Received and started the Nutrisupp Anxiety supplement (listed in link above). I have had so much anxiety and irritability the past few months. I realize that I need to give this supplement some time to work but today was actually a good day for me. I didn't feel so anxious or irritable today. Not sure if this supplement can work that fast but I will keep taking it and provide further updates. As I stated in my original post here, I was taking Cymbalta for several years without a complete resolution to my anxiety (if that is even possible), but I like that maybe I can get better results with a natural approach.
