Hello. I've been being treated for Lyme, Bart, Babesia and EBV since November 2017. Symptoms started April/May 2016. I recently decided to try CBD Oil from CBDistillery. I asked my doctor if it was ok to add to what I was doing and she said yes, it would be good. I did not take the whole dropper full, but more like a quarter full. I could feel something almost immediately and that sensation progressively increased. (not a high or anything, but I can't really explain it, but it wasn't a good sensation). I started feeling tired, which is good and one of the reasons why I wanted to start using it and fell asleep. Was woken up abruptly about two hours later in an intense panic attack. I felt nauseous and ultimately got sick. Did I take too much? Should I have started with one drop? I thought it was supposed to help with anxiety? My major symptoms are dizziness, brain swelling/head pressure - resulting in vision issues, heart issues (rapid heartbeat, fluttering, missed beats. I appreciate any help you all can provide. Thanks.

In extremely sensitive individuals, CBD can decrease blood pressure, which could explain your response. maybe try a smaller dose? Are you taking anything else that lowers blood pressure, and do you have low blood pressure normally?

Are you taking anything that affects your adrenal system and could have caused a spike in cortisol?

What you describe does sound unpleasant. sad Good luck!

Try taking one drop at a time. CBDistillery has good quality stuff at decent prices. But it could be having some other effects on you - marijuana affects Lyme patients differently than most people.

Rather than purchase the CBD oil already made, I found a more economical method if you live in the states.

Trump passed a law allowing the legal sale of hemp flower.

So you can now buy an ounce of hemp flower that is high in CBD content. Some have up to 19% CBD.

You then can make your own oil. Simply buy the herb ( i don't want to give any sources because i don't think that is allowed her, if I'm wrong, let me know and I will give a website I buy mine from. ) and buy the MCT coconut oil.

You can find instructions on youtube on how to do this.

For $100 bucks you can make hundreds of doses.

Sounds like a herx maybe?

Is your doctor knowledgeable about CBD? I wonder what he/she would have to say.
I agree with others who say to try a smaller dose before giving up on it. That stuff isn't cheap.

BTW, anyone understand why it is so expensive when compared to other herbs? Is it a demand thing or just cost of production??

Its illegal to grow in many areas. And if it is legal there are a lot of hoops to go through. Similar to tobacco you just can't start growing 1000s of tobacco plants. It is overpriced though I feel because its currently the next great thing.

Are you sure it's still illegal? Are you talking about growing marijuana plants...or hemp?

The source of cbd oil I used to get was from hemp...as it was naturally high in cbd and almost nil marijuana.

Its legal to have. But there are restrictions on growing hemp in the US you just cant start a hemp farm in your backyard like tomato plants. States that allow marijuana grows at home you could probably get away with whatever plants they allow for that. You need a industrial permit in most states if not all for hemp.

okay - I guess growing a few plants wouldn't be enough to produce the amount of cbd oil a person would use.

Hemp is what most online CBD is derived from...if it's MJ derived it's not legal to sell online

Sorry! Not sure how that happened - I must have screwed up... sad
