Before my state legalized, they had a very narrow list of qualified conditions for medical and they were considering adding OCD-- I overcame all my anxiety about it and actually wrote a letter about how much it helped me...they didn't approve it but now they've both taken away the list so you can qualify for anything with a drs approval and it's legal-- it literally has helped me sometimes more then medication. (I still take medication/go to therapy) but I'm so glad it has helped you! Like literally. <3

I am considering trying CBD aswell. I’m curious as to how you take it, when and how often? Very glad that it’s working for you. Best wishes

Just within the 1.5 hours my heart rate is down, i don’t even care about anything .. I don’t want to cry or kill/hurt myself , no nervousness, no more going to the crisis center or calling the hotline, I wanna scream and cry cuz I’m so happy ..... I have an appetite too ??????... I would’ve been a mess like last week if I did not have this. I just hope my therapist can see the difference.. I hope this can last for a while like this. I’m trying to embrace it , but it’s almost like I’m living a dream. I never thought this is how it would be. I was suffering so much I could not bare to live like that anymore ...and I would not be around for that much longer if it kept going the way it did !!! ❤️

Do you think that I can still do the intense work with therpay? That it will be easier now that I don’t have the anxiety to worry about?

Do it. I’ve been so many pharmacial pills (17) and everything was worse. I only take it in the Am and 0.5 mg at 500 strength, there is 300,500,&1000. In the oil wise. There is other but this works the quickest . I haven’t taken any since since am and it’s been 13 hours and no anxiety still ☺️.. it’s wonderful I can actually breathe.

Starting new anxiety meds
Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭

How has your life changed with medication?
For those who have had success with medication for OCD/anxiety, how is your life different now compared to before starting medication?

Medication
At this point I feel like I need to get on something ASAP. I know that therapy is a long road and hard work and I am totally down to do it but in the short term (I just started this journey) I think I need pharmaceutical help. Some of the people closest to me agree. I have never been on meds before and it's scary AF but the road I am going down is scarier. Advice?
