Has anyone tried it specifically for anxiety?

This past week my anxiety was all over the place ( waking up with full on panic attacks ain't fun). Now before anyone starts giving me advice (which I am not asking for) about it's all in my head and I should live my life "the right way "...please just don't

. I know what triggers my anxiety and I am taking active approaches against it. I also have a pretty healthy lifestyle with smart nutrition and regular exercise (I mean duh, check out the pecs

). I also started meditating combined with breathing exercises, which seems to be helping...so I am doing the right things (yaay me!). However I was always aware of the so called link between CBD oil and anxiety treatment and there are plenty of videos on the Internet that show people magically healed over night by it. There are also a few studies on this topic, and although their conclusions were positive and promising, there's absolutely no concrete scientific confirmation it actually does anything against anxiety. I'm thinking of trying it (and I probably will) but I do want more reviews about it from regular people who might have tried it specifically for anxiety and what they think, so I can see which side the scale goes...does it actually work or is it just placebo?

I use cbd on a daily basis. Different plants work differently for different people. I know a lot of people who have massive success with it for anxiety. I also know a few people who even use it for anxious dogs.

I use a company called cbd brothers. They are absolutely superb.

I hope it helps you. And may I offer you a gentle virtual hug xx

Not used it myself but read a massive amount of research about it. It does seem to have a very therapeutic effect (placebo or not). I’d use one without THC to avoid side effects.

Glad you’re on the route of working it out

I tried it for my chronic pain. I found it did bugger all for my pain but it was relaxing, so I think it could work for anxiety. I know everyone is different though; give it a try and see if it works for you.

"My son tried it for anxiety but he didn't find it very helpful...."

I see...was he trying anything else during that time to combat anxiety? Or was it just the CBD oil?

I don't use it myself, I use breathing techniques, but my colleague does and it seems to work for her from what she has said, obviously in combination with other things like you're already doing

He wasn't trying any other form of medicine or alternative one.

He did cut right down in caffeine and alcohol though.

I think he found that more helpful than anything else and those 2 things were likely a trigger to his anxiety.

I used to take 5-HTP to promote sleep and reduce anxiety

I take Venlafaxine for anxiety and, while it did help, I was still having major physical symptoms like chest pain.

Since I started taking CBD as well I've noticed a massive improvement. I still get bad days where my anxiety is crippling but it's not every single day, like it used to be.

I'd say it's definitely worth trying. Anxiety is exhausting debilitating. Hope you find something that helps you

I have used cbd for anxiety. Last year I underwent a terrible patch of anxiety and felt suddenly having terrible bursts of it.

I read up on cbd and went and bought a bottle of max strength available over the counter.

Boy has it been a game changer. Instant help in my case. Sleep became exceptionally good, anxiety much much improved and got some of my MOJO back.

Clearly I needed to make adjustments in life and take some tough decisions too but cbd became a really good support.

Really hope you find your solution and it's always good when one knows where anxiety is coming from, to take steps to get away from the source

All the best...

I think you need to try it. Mr N tried it over the course of many months for chronic pain and it had little or no effect. Anecdotal evidence says that it has been very successful for other people.

Give it a go, all you have to lose is money
