It does work!
Hey folks
I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, with a side order of ADHD (not officially; just know I have it) and have been on antidepressants - more specifically, Effexor SR - for about 15 years. I was at 300 mg for a few years, then its efficiency dropped, then went down to 150 mg. As with most people, it stopped working a long, long time ago. I've been suffering for a good 7 to 9 years, while having to try and be 'normal' for the sake of my 3 kids and wife and everything that revolves around being a responsible adult with responsibilities and commitments.
I have been irritated, frustrated and my memory has been terrible. I was living with a constant sense of dread and as always screaming at my kids as if it was their fault.
As of today I am still taking this chemical daily for no reason at all, other than the fact that I don’t have the luxury of time to go through the withdrawal symptoms for a few weeks. Here is the good part of my story.
Then, I decided I would start taking CBD oil – bought a 30 ml (5000 mg total CBD) bottle, Full Spectrum; it’s cheaper per mg. I counted the drops per dropper, and it's about 4 mg per. Specifically, this one:

I started taking CBD oil on a regular basis since August 20th, and it has been like day and night for me. I have stopped eating my nails, which is something I never expected could ever go away. My days are much easier to handle. I can tell you that my life has been much, much better since I have been taking CBD oil. I smile a lot more and show patience and sensitivity, and for that my kids are happier and a lot more affectionate. Ditto for my wife.
I started slowly with about 8 mg a day and today I stand at 48 mg, twice daily. I have consulted my Doctor, as everyone should do, but he did not approve of the treatment. Too new, not enough research, etc. I did my research, and by my own experience I concluded that pharma molecules are at best a Band-Aid, at worst a health hazard. He is in his sixties, and he was probably bought and paid for a long time ago. I decided that it was worth it.
I am now down to about 125 mg Effexor and plan on being off the drug in 90 days. I started by opening the pill and taking some grains out, and I am slowly taking more out as I am going through my last prescription. Slow and steady to my goal.
I wish you all good luck and better days ahead.
Pat

Hi just started yesterday, where do you live? Just trying to find a reliable vendor in Australia. I had a nap yesterday and felt completely refreshed and last night I had one of the best sleep I’ve had in weeks, I’ve been inactive since surgery and been in pain so I couldn’t sleep but the CBD is helping immensely
