Treatment Plans And CBD Anxiety Wellbeing

By Betty West


When it comes to anxiety and depression, health care providers are often quick to prescribe a number of different anti-depressants. While this is the case, there are now other options such as CBD Anxiety Wellbeing. While some anti-depressants have proven successful, others often need to replaced over the course of treatment.

CBD was originally discovered in 1940 in what is known as the hemp or cannabis plant. CBD is one of a number of cannabinoids found in the plant. In addition, the oil accounts for more than forty percent of the plant's extract. To date, studies have been completed on CBD in relation to anxiety, pain, movement disorders and epilepsy.

CBD can be imbibed in multiple ways, the most efficient of which is placing drops of oil under the tongue. Whereas, individuals can also eat, drink, smoke and vape as well as use salves for burns and muscle pain. Some edible products include coffee beans, gummies, honey sticks and cough drops. Whereas, there are also soft drinks and other consumable liquids which contain CBD.

CBD is currently available with or without traces of THC. For, one version contains CBD as the active ingredient with no trace of THC. Whereas, the other version contains trace amounts of THC while CBD remains the active ingredient.

While the cannabidiol pharmaceutical Epidiolex has been approved by the United States FDA for treating epilepsy, confusion still remains over the legality of other CBD products. For, there can also be side effects depending on the length of consumption and potency of the product. These side effects may include fatigue, a decreased appetite, sleeping problems, malaise, weakness and diarrhea.

Presently, the FDA has labeled Epidiolex a Schedule V drug. Whereas, non-Epidiolex CBD still remains a Schedule I drug in the U. S. Regardless, there are outlets across America which are storing, shelving and selling these products on a daily basis. Whereas, the World Health Organization has refused to classify, schedule or regulate CBD products.

While there are only a few side effects with regards to CBDs, the potential of drug interaction still exist. As such, it is important to review information related to any drug whether prescription or over the counter which may have a negative interaction with CBD. In most cases, these are going to include those of a narcotic nature, which in some cases could lead to severe drowsiness or disorientation.

As with THC and medical marijuana, the prescription forms of CBD are stronger than those currently being marketed in convenience store and head shops and are legally prescribed. One such drug, Nabiximols is one medication containing THC and CBD in equal proportions. A Canadian drug, it was approved in 2005 by Health Canada to treat pain in individuals with MS, then in 2007 for pain related to cancer. Since that time, CBD has been found to potentially kill cancer cells and calm symptoms of a number of other illnesses and conditions.
