CBD for anxiety/depression?

Question

I was prescribed Zoloft for severe anxiety a few weeks ago. Tonight I had to leave work and we’re going to the ER because it’s causing suicidal thoughts and severe depression. The only reason I haven’t hurt myself is because I love my baby more than myself and don’t want her to be harmed.  That being said, something has got to give. I start nursing school in the fall so I’m hammering out pre-reqs. I work at a long term care facility, which I love. And I have a baby to get ready for coming this spring. Something has got to give. I can’t live like this. I’ve heard of CBD oil helping people with anxiety and depression. Has anyone tried this during pregnancy?  For any reason?  NOT THC.  I don’t use any drugs (besides my one cup of coffee a day) and have to pass multiple screenings for my nursing program. So I am not suggesting using thc products. Strictly CBD. Anyone have any opinions or advice? Thanks in advance.

Answer

I thought about CBD during my pregnancy too. My baby girl is now 2 months old & breastfeeding & I still wonder if it’s safe. However, there’s no way to know if it’s actually safe for the baby. I wouldn’t risk it if I were you.. we can’t let our babies be “experiments”. I have struggled with depression & anxiety all my life. I didn’t want to be on any medication during pregnancy & I don’t want to now either. Yoga & meditation have helped me so much. Taking me time, going to the spa when I have extra money, tanning bed, the gym & things like that. Ask your doctor though & see what he sees. He might tell you to go ahead & try it. 
But make sure you do your research on CBD. Businesses have been know to add things, You don’t always know what could be in it. Labels can lie. Please think about your baby ❤️

It sounds like your anxieties potentially might be shifting into anxiety. While this sounds impossible, it might be time to scale back on a few things and refocus on you.

Answer

CBD is naturally produced in your body. In fact it will even be in your breastmilk. I would go very easy on the dosage though since you are pregnant. 
Also expect a long term reaction. Don’t think it will work right away.

Answer

look into green horizen CBD oil! its the purest that exists with no traces of THC at all and is also organic. Ive heard many good things about using it for depression and anxiety!

Answer

CBD oil is perfectly fine. There is little to none trace of THC content. It’s legal in all 50 states! Super beneficial for those who have anxiety or depression. I believe it’s a lot healthier for you than pills.
