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 oil can be ingested in different forms. These include vapor, smoke, drinks and edibles such as chocolate cover coffee beans, honey sticks, peanut better, cough drops and gummies. In addition, there are now CBD dog treats for treating dogs with anxiety or hyperactivity issues. Whereas, raw coffee beans can also be purchased with which to make CBD infused coffee.

Two types of CBD oil are being distributed and sold at the moment. These include one in which CBD is the only active ingredient with no trace of THC, and one which contains both CBD and THC. In most cases, the CBD remains the active ingredient as THC oil remains minimal due to the ongoing illegality of THC in several states.

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.

Currently, the United States FDA has labeled Epidiolex as a Schedule V drug. While non-Epidiolex CBD still remains a Schedule I drug prohibited for use in many areas. Regardless, stores across the United States are now selling CBD oil and products on the open market. Whereas, the United Nations has not scheduled CBD under any drug control treaties and World Health Organization officials have recommended that the drug remain unclassified or scheduled.

While there are side effects, most are minimal compared to that of prescriptions such as Vicodin, Tylenol 3 and other narcotics. The potential for interactions between CBD and over the counter and prescription medications remains unknown. For, there have been only a few research studies with regards to drug interactions or long-term side effects. To date, no deaths have reported which were associated with the use of CBD or THC infused products.

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.
