Hi, can I ask if anyone has tried CBD gummies for a highly anxious, ASC/ADHD child to help them cope at school? If so, do you think they helped and how many milligrams did you give them? My 12 year old daughter finds everything about school really stressful and missed many days last term due to this. She cannot focus even for 1 minute and despite many classroom breaks & a very good support team at school (unlike my older daughter, who has hardly any support & is now on Sertraline) she still cannot cope with the day. I have heard that 10mg of CBD gummies from Holland & Barrett can help but keen to hear anyone's thoughts (p.s.I know I can't give them to my daughter on Sertraline).
Sorry for bumping into an old conversation. While I haven't tried CBD gummies for a child with ASC/ADHD, I have heard from friends who have used them for their children with anxiety and stress, and they have had positive experiences.
Thank you for replying and i'm glad they helped you and your son. I wish you all the best after such a sad and traumatic experience.
Our doctor advised us to take CBD gummies. We’ve been taking them for more than a month. I’m very happy to see the results. My son and I are not as anxious as we used to be. It all began when my husband died in a car accident, but it’s another story to be told. Still, we’ve almost managed to recover after this terrible loss. Luckily I have some reliable friends working at [link removed by mod]. They advised us on the good CBD gummies. Actually, I didn’t expect them to be tasty. Still, CBD gummies work for us. Anyway, I’d highly recommend you consult with your doctor first.
Thanks. Unfortunately there is little I can do about her routine of having to attend school & it is everything about school that she doesn't like, not just one small part, so routine change is not an option really. Plus she has not found it possible to do schoolwork at home. She is not able to get access to a specialist provision either currently.
Thank you
Thank you, that's really helpful. Very interesting about the immune system, I hadn't heard that so i'll look into this a bit more.
CDB can be helpful to some. Both my son and I have taken it on occasion. However, there is some research (and also from experience) to note that it can weaken your immune system, so I'd be sure to also take an immune booster like a mushroom complex or astragalus or Ashwaganda.
Research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7173676/ "CBD is immune suppressive and that the mechanisms involve direct suppression of activation of various immune cell types, induction of apoptosis, and promotion of regulatory cells, which, in turn, control other immune cell targets."
There are other natural remedies for stress as well. But I do have ADHD friends who take Lions Mane mushroom and say it's helped with focus and clarity. It's in a full complex for immune health https://timehealth.co.uk/product/organic-mushroom-complex-6-chaga-cordyceps-shiitake-reishi-lions-mane-maitake/ or you could get just the Lion's Mane. To my knowledge, these don't interfere with CDB, so the immune health with lions mane could be useful for a daily, coupled with CDB when stressed?
Well I'd suggest that you try to change your daughters diet and eliminate foods that might be causing an inflammatory gut response, because having a bad gut can lead to physical and psychological issues including anxiety and depression, which was what happened in my case. It's better to find the root cause and eliminate it, than to just temporarily alleviate symptoms.
I've also taken CBD oil, and it is almost like drinking, it changes your mind and behaviors, and you think you're better, but it's just the substance, and it's only temporary. I didn't do better on the on CBD. I did better when I changed my diet and the food that I eat.
