Confident
I use CBD for my anxiety (not panic, panic is one step too far), tension, and sleep. I've found nothing like it personally.Ok so I pushed my luck and got too near a trigger and full on PTSD panic. So it’s not the miracle cure we all crave. I’ll see what I sleep like tonigh
I'd recommend you speak with your doc about trying a different medication than the one you already tried.
I tried venlafaxine. It made me spacey and nose dived my oxygen levels, leaving me gasping for air. It got me out of constant 30-hour panic attacks, so I was nervous to switch and try something else.
Then I tried sertraline. It really stabilized me. We got to 150mg and then something just went "NOPE" and I got worse.
We switched to Prozac and suddenly I was ready to take on the world, had this unhealthy energy, much more prone to risky behaviors. SI got more strong than I've had in a long time. But I also had the best sleep I've had since I can even remember. Never knew you could sleep and wake rested
So I asked the psych if, for the sake of my sanity, we could just go back to sertraline 100mg and let me stay there for a few weeks at least so I could restabilize. He authorized it and while neither of us is satisfied with "progress", at least it's better than nothing, and I know I can always try something else.
Not sure if psychedelics are legal in your area, but I'm saving up all my $$$$ to do that next.
If you're unhappy, try something - literally anything. You're not marrying it, you can always switch it if it impacts you negatively. But not trying anything is only gonna keep you in your current state .....
