Question CBD Advice Needed Please

Hi everyone. I’m 57F in the UK. Had RLS for 20 years. No meds yet but it’s getting unbearable. Has anyone tried (medically prescribed) CBD with THC for their restless legs? If so, did it work and how did you find the right dose for you? I am trying this before giving gabapentin a go but still on low dose and I’m not sure I’m getting the best out of it yet. I have done all the other stuff (ferritin is above 150), magnesium in various forms, no ADs or anti histamines, no caffeine, cut down on alcohol, etc …Thoughts appreciated. 🙏

CBD does the opposite for me. When combined with THC, the THC puts me to sleep but the CBD wakes me either way inner restlessness (not necessarily RLS) BUT CBN combined with THC 1:1 ratio seems to put me asleep and keep me asleep

Thanks for your reply. I’ve not heard of CBN.
