Has anyone tried CBD or medical marijuana (legally of course lol) and has it helped? How does it compare to an SSRI like Zoloft or Lexapro? One of my friends has anxiety and he said it helped him, of course OCD is a bit different so idk...

I use medical marijuana for my PTSD but it also really helps with my OCD compulsions. Like if I go without my medical marijuana for 1 day my compulsions go crazy. I used to have this consistent physical feeling in my stomach that gave me compulsions and would go away if I completed my compulsion. Medical marijuana stopped that horrible feeling. I'm much calmer, less neurotic, I'm out of my shel,l I used to see friends once every like 6 months, now I'm out every day. But medical marijuana either helps or it doesn't it depends on the person.

Yeah. How do you consume it? I would he afraid of feeling "high" but I guess they help you decide a dose that works ?

@Ríona Yes they do and dont be afraid of feeling high you start on a really small dose. I use a vape but you can also smoke bud. The vape is better though because you can just take one hit at a time and see how you feel.

@stellar.oddity So they counsel you through it? Bc I smoked weed before and like.. I'm a terrible lightweight lol.

@Ríona If you start with the vape and take one hit at a time you'll be good.

@stellar.oddity Thanks

@stellar.oddity I'm gonna look into it if cbd doesn't work. I'm trying to get off zoloft

I take medication but also CBD to sleep and thoughts go away a lot of the time but more to just relax and unwind. Medicine and ERP together are fantastic i was skeptical but really works wonders u shoukd look in to it if not on it already

I tried CBD for period cramps and it didn't work but I never thought to try it for OCD til recently. Do you take it every day?

I find it helps and sometimes take it when things get really bad. Definitely helps me to get calmer and see things clearer.

i take cbd oil every morning, and i think it helps. it definitely does not have a huge huge impact but it does help.

Can I ask how much you take?

@Ríona sure! i take 1 full dropper of cbd oil at the tincture of 4000 mg every day

@callistapopp You mean there's 4000 mg in the bottle? Thats how mine is labeled. And then each dropped is like 33mg so its confusing lol

yea that’s what i meant lol
