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.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
