Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series
I have some current experience with my adult daughter suffering with severe anxiety. I started looking for over the counter treatments and found studies that used magnesium glycinate successfully as a treatment and it has worked wonders for her.<p>She takes a 300 mg tab and in 20 minutes she&#x27;s completely calmed down. It only lasts for about four hours but the effect is amazing.<p>The downside is it can cause diarrhea when taken every four hours but if she eats a couple bananas a day (for the fiber) that&#x27;s not an issue.<p>She&#x27;s also been experiencing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) and I found a study that showed CBD helping with that, so I got her to start taking that too, and it&#x27;s worked amazingly well for her to deal with that. If it also helps with anxiety that&#x27;s all the better for her.<p>Her birth mother was diagnosed as schizophrenic about a year after my daughter was born so my daughter is probably dealing with that too, but the drug the doctors gave her mother 35 years ago (haloperidol) didn&#x27;t work near as well as the magnesium&#x2F;CBD my daughter is taking and the side effects were vicious. That shit turned her mother into a slobbering zombie.<p>I took my daughter to a mental health facility yesterday to get evaluated and we told them she was taking the magnesium glycinate for anxiety and CBD for &quot;the voices&quot; and they didn&#x27;t tell her to stop or prescribe any pharmaceutical drugs for her. They just told her to start &quot;Mindful therapy&quot; sessions with a doctor there.<p>I&#x27;ve been smoking herb for about 46 years pretty much daily and have never felt anxious, but I&#x27;ve known a few people who have. I&#x27;ve attributed that to all the reefer madness that&#x27;s been shoved at us for so long, but it could be it affects some people differently than I and all my herb smoking friends.<p>I don&#x27;t feel any effects at all from taking CBD, but I don&#x27;t have any of the symptoms it&#x27;s used to treat effectively and it could be I have plenty enough in my system from the weed I smoke anyway.
