Hey Ya'll,

I just have a question lol. So I do suffer from anxiety/depression (as some of you know) and typically I am a weed smoker to help me fall asleep. Since my first appointment, I've stopped smoking but I'm having THE WORST time sleeping (I also, for years have dealt with sleeping issues). Has anybody tried CBD? Rather it be gummies or flowers. I'm just nervous about medications because I've always had bad experiences. Trazadone made my Migraines worse aaaand ambien made me eat a cheeseburger and mcflurry mid sleep. Any suggestions will be good! I've tried banana tea (to calm me), chamomile tea, melatonin, unisom (i ended up taking close to 5 pills so i quit those years ago). I've also tried benadryl.

Melatonin, non-addictive, Atrax - which is frequently given too cats and dogs with allergies and for humans with anxiety, CBD-oil.

I use stilnoct, which is a benzodiaziapine. Can't use hypnotica, then I'll just sleepwalk and eat. Once woke up to my entire kitchen covered in sugar😂. Trouble is with sleeping pills are - once you've taken one it is difficult to stop.

Edit: also funny to me that you are allowed to smoke weed, it is faaairly frowned upon in my parts of the woods.

Lol some people may frown upon it here, but I honestly don't care. When people mention it to me they usually throw out the whole "it leads to other drugs" theory, aaaaaand I typically laugh lol. In my opinion it's better than taking some of the medications doctors will prescribe. I'll try more natural ways and definitely will try the CBD. We shall see if there is anything out here for me! lol

Do you have valerina forte or valerina night in the US? Should be over the counter. It's a plant based sedative.

I've never heard of it? But I will definitely try to find it!

Weird, this is the second marijuana-related thread I've come across just today, LOL.

Anyway, I've used CBD oil for sleep and/or relaxation once in while...maybe like once a month, or every two months, so not very often. Seems to work fine for me...no high, no hunger, no stomach issues.

That's highly likely, smoking weed tends to bring out the munchies in people (especially pot with high THC counts), and for those who have trouble ignoring the munchies, its a slippery slope.

We're all entitled to our opinions.

And if you were implying it was the reason I got fat...no. Been this way most my life.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
