Dosage is different per person! I take 20mg of a CBD capsule per day. Some people take 40mg, some only take 10mg. Find what works best for you!

Even if you just call a doctor and speak with them that would be a great place to start! I’m not sure about the laws in Greece as I am from the US but that is what I do with CBD and THC as I live in a state where THC is legal recreationally, although recently but I have had it medically prescribed for year even before recreational legalization. Maybe if your plan allows for international calls or they are not too expensive you could try that if Greece does not have medicinal marijuana.

Contact a medical marijuana doctors office or look up medical marijuana dosing for ocd! While CBD is not /technically/ marijuana it is a major component and has many medical purposes. Cannabis doctors would know the most about dosages for CBD, and you do not have to buy it from a dispensary as long as it does not have thc. Good luck!

I would also research the time it takes for CBD oil to take its full effect, especially depending on the method of intake. Especially if you don’t speak to a doctor I would keep that in mind and give it plenty of time to kick in before taking more. It is generally considered completely safe to redose on CBD as well as THC. THC for me is great for racing thoughts falling asleep and bad anxiety days etc., if it is legal in your country I would look into that as well.

that may be because of links between anxiety and marijuana, as it can provoke paranoia in some people/circumstances. Although, this is generally linked to THC rather than CBD, and depends on the person and circumstances, such as environment and dosage, etc. If you can not find a doctor willing you help you for ocd dosage in your country, maybe try close countries in Europe? Or do your own online research! If you are unsure of your own online research it may be a good idea to present it to a marijuana doctor or GP. Good old trial and error with some patience and slow increase in dosage can’t hurt either, although it may take a little longer it can be better than nothing!

It really depends on your metabolism,tolerance, method of intake, etc. I would start with 5mg if it were me, but I generally have a very fast metabolism and high tolerance for most things. If you feel more comfortable starting at 1 or 2 mg then that is perfectly fine, everyone reacts differently. In the US, it is often recommended that cancer patient take a similar does however, for other issues such as insomnia it is recommended to take 40-60 mg, schizophrenia is recommended anywhere from 40-1280 mg. Starting off slow is better for your own comfort overall, but you can not overdose on CBD as far as I know, and general research in the US concerns. I would start with 5, but I am generally very good dealing with medications/substances even at high doses. But 5 mg is a very small dose and, from what I read very unlikely to cause side effects such as anxiety and paranoia. These symptoms are most often linked to THC anyways, so I would start with 5 and work my way up as needed. Less is better than too much with any medication

B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, and amino acids that the brain uses to make neurotransmitters are the most common nutrient deficiencies in mental health conditions. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that carry chemical signals from one nerve cell to another nerve cell, muscle cell, or gland. Research suggests that one cause of OCD could involve communication problems between the front area of the brain and deeper structures due to inadequate activity of certain neurotransmitters. >> Vitamin B12: "Research from 2014 indicates that vitamin B12 and homocysteine (Hcy) levels are linked to certain mental health conditions. In particular, high levels of Hcy and deficiency in vitamin B12 may impact brain function and cause symptoms such as mania, depression, and personality changes." Foods containing vitamin B12 include: >Meat >Fish >Poultry >Eggs >Dairy products >Fortified breakfast cereals >Fortified nutritional yeasts >>Antioxidants Oxidative stress occurs when there are too many unstable molecules known as free radicals in the body and insufficient antioxidants to neutralize them. The imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants can damage cells and tissue. Oxidative stress in the brain can lead to problems such as neuroinflammation, impaired neurotransmission, and decreased neuroplasticity. Some studies indicate there is an increase in free radical activity and weakness in the antioxidant defense system in OCD. Cysteine is a nonessential amino acid. Amino acids are essential for forming proteins and other metabolic functions. The body needs adequate amounts of vitamin B12, B6, and folate to produce cysteine. As a supplement, it is in the form of NAC. The body transforms NAC into cysteine and then into glutathione, an antioxidant. Cysteine is also in the following foods: >Meat >Fish >Dairy >Grains >Soybean >Egg products >> Omega-3 fatty acids Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that people must get from foods or supplements because the body cannot make them. Three types of omega-3s exist: 1} ALA 2} DHA 3} EPA Omega-3 fatty acids increase memory, learning, cognitive well-being, and blood flow to the brain. Research suggests there is a link between low omega-3 levels and mental health disorders. For example, researchers have found an association between a moderate intake of omega-3 and a decreased chance of depression. Research also indicates that omega-3, particularly EPA, may reduce symptoms of depression and significantly decrease anxiety symptoms. Foods containing omega-3 include: >Fish and seafood, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna, and sardines >Nuts and seeds, including walnuts, flaxseed, and chia seeds plant oils, such as flaxseed oil, canola oil, and soybean oil >Fortified foods such as specific brands of yogurt, eggs, milk, juices, and soy beverages >Cod liver oil, fish oil, krill oil, and algal oil >> Vitamin D Vitamin D is essential for typical brain development and functioning. It also affects immunity, inflammatory responses, and antioxidant processes. Research suggests that vitamin D deficiency may be a factor in the development of mental health conditions such as depression and schizophrenia. A 2022 study explored the relationship between vitamin D levels and OCD. It found that people who were newly diagnosed with OCD had lower vitamin D levels than people without OCD. Researchers suggest that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to OCD development by disrupting neurotransmitter signaling or decreasing neuroprotection. The following foods provide vitamin D: >Most of the U.S. milk supply, including dairy, soy, almond, and oat milk >Fortified breakfast cereals and some brands of margarine, yogurt, orange juice, and other food products >Fatty fish, including salmon, trout, tuna, and mackerel and fish liver oils >Beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks >Mushrooms >> Magnesium > What it is: A mineral found in leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. >Why it helps: Magnesium is known for its calming effects on the nervous system and can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep. >How to incorporate it: Eat foods like spinach, almonds, and black beans regularly. >> Probiotics >What it is: Beneficial bacteria found in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi. >Why it helps: Probiotics support gut health, which is closely linked to mental health through the gut-brain axis. >How to incorporate it: Include a variety of fermented foods in your diet to maintain a healthy gut microbiome. >>Foods to Avoid >Processed Foods: Processed foods often contain high levels of sugar, unhealthy fats, and additives that can negatively impact mental health. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible. >High-Sugar Foods: Foods and beverages high in sugar can cause spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels, leading to mood swings and increased anxiety. Choose natural sweeteners like honey or fruit instead. >Excessive Caffeine: High caffeine intake can increase anxiety and interfere with sleep. Limit consumption of coffee, tea, and energy drinks, especially in the afternoon and evening. 1} Medical News Today 2} OCD Anxiety Centers

I am having an appointment with my psychiatrist this afternoon and I am obsessing about what to do with my medication. I think it’s also very ocd like obsessing. I am currently on 30mg mirtazapine. Ive been on this for years (because of insomnia, anxiety and depression) (15mg) and after we tried to switch to another (amitryptiline) because of nerve pain, I went down the road of insomnia and later on ocd again. So I am back on mirtazapine, and weaning off of the amitryptiline. This is/was a very traumatic experience. Because the switch caused a mental breakdown. Now my psychiatrist has mentioned to up the mirtazapine to 45mg. And my obsessive self has done a lot of research and a lot is saying that the higher the dose, the more you can experience anxiety. And for ocd it’s obviously not the first choice. I am obsessing all morning about it. I am too scared to go up. But I am also too scared to try another and to wean myself of off mirtazapine. I feel stuck at this point. Taking two meds is also not something I want. I could really use some words of encouragement right now I think. 🥹
