Is anyone on any medication to help manage anxiety .
Before my diagnosis i was prescribed citalopram for anxiety and my doctor took me of it nearing my assessment period .
After the diagnosis i have had CBT to help manage my anxiety ,
Which worked for a while but i see i am starting to see my reaction to certain situations and people are getting back to how it was before being on medication.
I have read a lot of peer reviewed research on this subject and it seems the community seems to be split that ssri's are no better than a placebo ,
Has anyone tried the CBDV oil for anxiety as research has been conducted on this and seems promising .
I know full blown THC/CBD is not good for me as i am a danger to myself after taking it as i seem invincible, then after it has worn off it seems like i am in an even worse place before taking it .
I did prefer the citalopram but wondered is anyone else being prescribed anything different which helps .
Hi Symon,
