Thoughts on CBD and Drug Holidays
Categories:
I also had a lot of initial anxiety. I still have some and especially at night (1 1/2 years after diagnosis). I am also trying to control arthritis without taking too much NSAIDS. So I am on a mission about CBD and also other homeopathics. I do use mindful meditation and that helps a lot with anxiety.
I tried CBD early on during treatment for sleep and nausea, but it didn’t do much for me. Recently I’ve been looking into Bulk delta 8 distillate, which some folks say gives similar chill-out effects with a lighter headspace. Still checking if it’s okay with my meds, though—I always ask my doc first. Would love to hear if anyone else has tried delta 8 during their break periods.
In late May and early June of this year I went on a gummi spree to help me sleep and relax. I’m in the states and the gummies here can be quite potent. After about a 2.5 week stretch of taking a gummie every night before bed I seem to have developed some shortness of breath. Needless to say it freaks me out. I attribute this to the gummies and Nilotinib which I’m on. This has happened to me in the past but this time it makes me think I should stop for good. It seems to be getting better but for a while it was very concerning. I’ve been an avid pot smoker all my life but I am getting older and this recent episode may finally break my attraction to THC.
