using CBD oil for anxiety miracle cure hype stay tuned and find out [Music] my name is Douglas block I'm an author and depression survivor welcome once again to your depression recovery channel where each week we talk about practical tools and coping strategies for healing from depression anxiety well today's title the video is CBD oil for anxiety miracle cure or hype before we find out of course we have to tell our joke and I was gonna be one that I thought was pretty good but Jerry my videographer liked this particular one so this is for all you with history buffs out there what do they call a history book about cars an autobiography we both like that all right so let's go to our subject here which is anxiety and a while ago ed maybe you're so I did a publication of a video called which is worst depression or anxiety oh my god I mean they're both horrible aren't they but a lot of you chose anxiety and I can see why because when you're anxious severely anxious over time you become disabled you can't do your regular routines you can't go out meet with friends work and pretty soon you're not accomplishing anything and that can be very depressing and so I exoti often turns into depression however unlike depression where you can have any depressed since which you can take for a long period of time those of you for whom they work anxiety medications known as benzodiazepines or habit-forming or can be and you can create dependence with them so as a result many psychiatrists these days are reluctant to prescribe them thus I became intrigued when some of my group members told me that they were using something called CBD oil to bring down their anxiety I thought well this is interesting so before I talk about my take on it I just wanted to give some basic definitions of what it is so CBD oil is a natural compound found in both the marijuana and the implants and because it contains less than 0.3 percent of THC which is the psychoactive component of marijuana you can't get high from it so unlike smoking pot when you take CBD oh you don't feel anything now the story behind CBD oil is quite interesting it burst on the national scene in 2013 there was a six year old girl named Charlotte Figi who lived in Colorado and she rare form of epilepsy called Rebbetzin Roman she was having multiple seizures in fact 300 grand mal seizures a week it was eating up her brain the parents were desperate nobody knew what to do and then someone suggested using marijuana and because medical marijuana was legal in Colorado at the time they found a grower and they got a strain that was very high in CBD oil and very low in THC and they gave it to the girl the doctors were quite skeptical but sure enough the seizures stopped first for an hour then for a week and pretty soon the girl was healed so now I think she's 11 she maybe only has 2 or 3 seizures a week and most of them are sleep so this this strain of marijuana CBD was called Charlotte's Web and it's now famous and there's a bunch of brothers in Colorado six of them who had developed the foundation where they give this away to people who need it and it's a wonderful thing they're doing because you know in a lot of places people can't afford it so good for the good for Charlotte and good for humanity that this substance was discovered the next question we're going to cover is how do you take CBD oil well it's taken by mouth and it comes in many many forms when I took it it was a tincture but you can also use pills chewable gels vape cartridges cream on your skin and foods like chocolate that's how marijuana is often delivered – well remember marijuana brownies anyway the amount and quality of CBD oil and these products can vary greatly so the next question I want to address is is CBD oil addictive well no not pure CBD but many of the products also have THC in them as a matter of fact and the research i've done talking to the pharmacies in oregon and washington they tell me that a ratio of nine part CBD to one part THC is very helpful because the THC potentiates or increases the power of the CBD oil now if you're taking something like that and there's THC you might be affected so the key is to know what you're taking and what percentage of CBD THC it is but if you're just taking pure CBD well derive from the hemp no addictive properties and again no soy no psychoactive properties so the next question that comes up is what conditions can CBD L treat now if you remember it became famous or you know became used initially because it helped this girl with the seizure syndrome called Trivette syndrome epilepsy and sure enough it's been researched there also for pain my brother takes over pain inflammation believe it or not psychosis and also it helps people supposedly break the addiction to cigarettes and drugs like heroin methamphetamine cocaine because it relaxes the muscles and gets people more at less anxious state so people are investigating CBD oil for a variety of conditions nothing definitive has come yet but I know do know people who did take it for pain and a nurse I know it was quite involved in in the alternative care industry here in Oregon says that a lot of her patients take it for pain okay so now we finally get to the topic in the video or the main topic which is CBD oil and anxiety now when I first heard about this connection I thought to myself well this makes sense because CBD oil is an anti-seizure medication as we saw in the case of charlotte and klonopin which is a benzo that I used to take it essentially saved my life even one of my episodes is also an anti-seizure medication so klonopin and anti-seizure medication helps with anxiety cvbl and anti-seizure medication should help with anxiety well here's a testimonial money ol from oh one of my group members who first turned me on to it he she said I've been using stevia orally for a year now I've been experienced quite a lot of anxiety due to stressors in my life I was having a hard time sleeping I started to take a dropper full of bedtime and again if needed when I woke up too early in the morning the CBD oil greatly reduced mind's eye and had a nice side effect or side benefit of reducing joint pain as well I've never felt groggy in the morning after taking it I highly recommend CBD oil this is one person who obviously worked for now I want to bring up my particular case so in June of 2000 17 last year visiting my brother in New York unfortunately has chronic pain by the way for you any of you out there who are dealing with pain I'm going to be doing a video on depression and chronic pain because as you imagine that's a really bad combination anyway he was prescribed in New York medical marijuana is legal so he was prescribed this by his physician and he ordered this stuff on the internet but it had a strawberry cane he didn't like the taste it was a hundred eighty bucks I said wow that's a lot of money he said no you take it I'll get I'll get a different flavor so I took it home back to Oregon and one night I woke up and late morning or 4:00 in the morning as they often do with you know anxious discrimination my heart was beating rather rapidly and normally I just lie down there and breathe and try to calm myself down but this time I reached for the dropper you know put it under my tongue took about two drops and I start to notice that my heart rate went down slow down and it's my heart rate slowed down I felt more relaxed and my muscles were less tense and within about 10 minutes I was back to sleep so it really took the edge off the anxiety and got me back to sleep a lot quicker than I would have had if I hadn't had it so fortunately I haven't had very many of those awakenings but when I do I have the the oil by my bedside to use in case it happens finally I talked with a worker at a local pharmacy here in Portland on medical marijuana pharmacy and I he mentioned to me that he's been using CBD oil to replace an X the anti-anxiety drug he says at night it helps him ah breathe more easily relax the muscles of his chest and as he breathes deeply ah he can relax more and go to sleep he also said that some of his customers have used it to minimize the brain zaps that come when you come off on a depressant and also that they have used CBD oil to minimize the withdrawal symptoms when people take opiates after an operation so it obviously has many many uses so now comes the $64,000 question is how do you obtain CBD oil well first a good news if it just is derived from the hemp plant and has no THC as was the case with my my group member you can get it in any state in the country us except for Idaho on Nebraska and South Dakota and they ban all marijuana even products coming from the hemp plant which which I said we're not psychoactive so most of us can get CBD oil over the internet or in various other places however if the CBD oil has some THC in it I mentioned that the THC helps to make it more effective then you can only get it in states where medical marijuana is illegal which i think is only four or five states so you're much more limited then but still the hemp derived CBD oil can be effective and you're much more likely to get that so in conclusion the purpose of this video was to describe my research and looking at the CBD oil as a treatment for anxiety and also for pain and I found that many people do use it effectively now this doesn't mean you should run out and get her I'm advocating you do it you should probably check with your prescriber or your doctor to make sure it's not going to adversely interact with any medications you've been taking however I did call the pharmacy right before I shot this and they said it what they tell their customers as long as you don't take the CBD at the same time that you're taking your other drugs maybe wait two three hours then there shouldn't be a problem but again the final authority is your physician well this

CBD oil is legal in Nebraska now
Hi! I am trying to taper off Klonopin I was given by a very unprofessional doctor.. while starting Paxil, because of the horrible mental side effects of starting it. I am trying to taper it down (after only 28 days I developed dependance) but despite going very slow (10% a month microtaper from previous month, a taper that can take years) I suffer from anxiety during the day and sometimes I have setbacks of horrible insomnia that sometimes leads to scary 'waking nightmares'. I started working with a naturopath who gave me a lot of supplements but at least at the beginning they didn't have a huge effect.
I started taking CBD now as well as a 'benzo friend' told me she was able to taper all her medications (she was on 7 at least!) with CBD oil (although she took also THC. I am in Australia so it's illegal to drive on THC, I do have a bottle but try not to touch it). A doctor in the clinic she used said I should start low and slow over 6 weeks of increasing every week, and not taper anymore during that time, to see how I go. They say it can greatly help with my benzo induced fear, anxiety and insomnia and sleep disturbances. Would you agree? I saw you already took Klonopin.
My anxiety is crazy i dont even go around my family
Hi doctor can you please tell us the dosage How many drops how many times a day for anxiety
Im using CBD oil from Midnight CBD and ive never felt so relaxed since.
CBD eases tension for me and it kinda feels like everything is gonna be alright in life
Question also has to be made: what cause depression?
I started taking Full Spectrum CDB Oil a week ago for anxiety and to taper off my other medications. I was taking 3mg of Xanax 3 times a day. My doctor told me to try to take half of the dosage of Xanax and it worked. In only one week I'm taking 1.5mg of Xanax. I'm still increasing the dosage of CBD Oil and planning on tapering off other medications even more.
I tried a CBD balm on my skin. It looked similar to chapstick and I only used a small Dab. I tried it three different times and it made me so anxious I thought I was having a panic attack.
CBD is just placebo!

I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck with trazodone. I was told it's not like an SSRI. Since Covid I have been feeling like I cannot fully relax my frontal lobe/ cortex and get into REM sleep. I honestly never feel tired. Even when my anxiety was at its highest in the past I could always sleep and feel rested. I just never feel rested and I never feel tired. I'd appreciate any replies and any advice 😉
Hey, I’m doing some research on CBD THC , love to chat with you if possible? I also believe I have some valuable information able CBD THC from personal experience
I have chronic and at times very painful chest, after I broke my sternum in Feb 2022. 7 months on I still have rib pain and screaming anxiety from the pain that stops me from functioning with things I love. If cbd helps with my pain it will fix my anxiety
I'm reliant on ativan(Lorazepam) .Fucked without it.. Want to get off it ,my tolerance is ridiculous. And the rebound anxiety? Well. Got a sick wife and kids to look after,Feeling pretty scared.
Excellent video. Very clear and informative content. Well presented and produced. I'll be checking out more of your videos.
I use it every night for sleep. Threw the pills away. This works every night. Perfect!
What happen if we use cbd for long term?. Im saying more than 10 years… If we want to use it but to dont need to use each 3h what is the best way?eating tablets?
CBD oil works. You have to experiment with how many drops you need, sometimes you need a higher dose. For example if your stress levels are higher than normal, a higher dose than normal dose will help MUCH better.
I occasionally get high from CBD oil, it's so strange.
Art Garfunkel !!!
Anxiety is the worst I need to get rid of it! I like zans but I don’t want to be dependent on it! What can I do
Why does weed make a lot of people calm where as me I get paranoid and bad social anxiety 😥!!! Why? Why?
Does cbd oil helps with adhd?
