I have suffered with anxiety for yrs my main anxiety is always death so when I get sick or feel something a little off in my mood or body my anxiety kicks off in high gear the therapist diagnosed me with GAD. I DON'T like people much and I don't like crowds of people. But I have tried all kinds of meds every antidepressant I have taken makes my symptoms worse and make my panic attacks go full blown with no relief so I don't like taking the pills and wont atke them anymore but after a few months of the full blown anxiety and panic without meds it subsides the anxiety is there but not as bad and i go through these ups and downs at least twice a year during the winter and the summer almost seems seasonal to me I've been told about cbd oil and I have recently tried it I'm really not for if it's working I do seem a little calmer but does it actually work has anyone had good experience with it?

I use it and personally, I don't see a difference. I take 25mg (the advised dose for anxiety) and I honestly can say it just doesn't do a thing. I don't want to go above the advised dose, especially since I take celexa, an ssri. Hope that helps!

I’ve heard it helps, but it’s not for everyone and everything. In general marijuana has helped me and hurt me. I know cbd oil is non psychoactive but I would give it a go before jumping into ssri’s. The marijuana had stopped helping me, it actually makes me more anxious so I stopped after many years. Now I’m on lexapro. I started and stoped taking it several times over the past month because I don’t like some of the side effects. I seem to be coping well with the right diet and vitamin intake, but I know it can come back at anytime

I started to use CBD oil and I have not had an anxiety attack since. I also found that I sleep so much better then before. That being said, I don't believe it works the same for everyone. I also CAN NOT use marijuana ( THC ) because it had amplified the anxiety. I guess you should try it for a couple of weeks to know if it works for you. In my opinion it's better then antidepressants. Good luck.

I would suggest seeing a holistic doctor and getting advice from them I go see my old pcp who is now a holistic doctor next week to start getting help and getting a handle on this because the anxiety is keeping my physical illnesses in high gear and I can't take it anymore

I too cannot use marijuana I have tried and it makes me very paranoid and start panicking so someone suggested using the cbd oil I only tried it a few days but only because some one gave it to me so I'm gonna get my own hopefully soon so I can have it regularly to see if it works
