I am currently using CBDistillery’s full spectrum, 500mg/17 mg per serving, 30 servings per 30ml tincture. If that isn’t confusing enough. Basically all the tinctures come in 30ml bottles. They have various strengths such as the 250mg, 500mg, 1000mg, and the 2500mg. Based on what I have experimented with so far, I need the 1000mg/33 mg per serving tincture. This particular one is $60 each for a 1 month supply, but the lower strength ones are cheaper. It’s a bit pricy, but honestly I have looked at other websites and their pricing is very reasonable compared to other companies. And it’s totally worth it for the amazing benefits. My current dose is approximately 30mg a day. I suffer from chronic back, neck, and hip pain, I have GI issues, and I suffer with depression and anxiety.
The first couple of days, I didn’t really feel a thing. I kept increasing my dose as directed, or what they call microdosing. By the 3rd day I noticed I was more vocal. What I mean by that is, I didn’t give a fuck about pretty much anything. My son and I were the last ones to be served in a large group of people, and I barked at the server about where our food was. Normally I would keep quiet and just let it go but I spoke up about it. The same thing happened when a guy decided to cut in front of me in the cafeteria at breakfast. I told him I was in line first. He glared at me, but I didn’t care. And you know what, it felt good not to care. Usually I try to avoid conflict as much as I can, but now I feel like I can face the world head on and handle anything that comes at me.. BRING IT!
Other things I have noticed – this stuff knocks me out cold at night time! I can barely wake up in the mornings if I take it too late at night. I also have weird, funky dreams. I may just have my last dose at 5p and leave it be - maybe I won’t be so tired when I wake up. It feels similar to waking up from taking Nyquil.
I am more cheerful at work. Smiling, talking more. Wow. Very surprising because work lately has been a huge drag. Work is usually a drag for most of us, but I was in a serious funk for a long time.
Driving isn’t too bothersome during rush hour. I drive A LOT, my commute is long and full of traffic both coming and going. It’s enough to make anyone go insane. I take CBD before I leave for work and rush hour just kind of flies by for me. It’s not as much as a pain anymore. Same thing on the way home, take CBD before getting behind the wheel and as my friend says, “It takes the crazy out.”
My depression isn’t as severe as it was. I hope this lasts, because feeling happy is truly awesome.
I don’t have as much diarrhea. Probably a TMI, but I have been having GI issues for a long time and the doctors can’t seem to figure out what it is. I know exactly what it is, my mom has IBS and I am showing the same symptoms of it. She started having it around my age, too. Thanks mom. But seriously – It hasn’t been too bad lately.
My pain levels have pretty much stayed the same. I wasn’t expecting a miracle there, I have 2 herniated discs in my back and a hip that is grinding down to the bone, so there isn’t much anyone can do about that other than narcotics/steroid injections/surgery. I think for pain I would need to increase my dose, but I think I’m good where I’m at with the CBD. I would rather be happy in pain then miserable and in pain. Plus as sad as this sounds, I am used to living with chronic pain. It’s not as bothersome to me as it is living in a blackness where you feel like you can’t escape out of. Depression is awful. I hate having it, and hate dealing with it. There is nothing worse in life than having thoughts of dying because the internal pain is so bad. I’ve been there many, many times.
My cravings for alcohol have vanished. I drink. I drink a lot. Anyone that knows me knows I love my wine. But I haven’t had any desire to toss one back in a week. Being dry and sober for 7 days is practically a miracle for me, and it feels great. I feel more aware of things, and my brain isn’t so “squishy” with booze. I hope this stays like this, I would love to quit drinking for good if I can! I’d probably lose a ton of weight too.
Overall I feel like a giant fog has been lifted out of my brain, and I’ve only been on it for 1 week. I will update this blog again soon and report back on how I’m feeling, but so far – WOW!! This is truly a miracle product. I absolutely love it and I’m so happy that I feel at peace with my brain. I highly recommend it. Oh and one more thing – do not buy from Amazon, they do not allow CBD products there other than hemp oil. Research a lot before you settle on a brand. Read and educate yourself too on the different terms such as full spectrum, isolate, etc. They are very different. I am using the full spectrum which has 0.3% THC in it or less, which is completely legal, but they also have THC-free tinctures.
