It feels like my head is going to explode, and I have tried so many things for relief that have not helped.  I even tried a different brand cbd oil with no relief.  I just need to get relief.  I am also in chronic pain, and have had 3 surgeries for this accident, my neck, my wrist and my elbow.   I have depression due to chronic pain, ptsd and anxiety as well, all from the accident that changed my life.  \"\n_____________________\nI had a similar situation where after a car accident I had headaches and eventhough smoking or vaporizing indica usually helps it did not alleviate the pain completely. I would also suggest perhaps going to a chiropractor for a holistic/physical  approach and then using cannabis and CBD to assist in recovery afterwards\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_12060-markdown","title":"I have Afib.

This is a preliminary result and should be used in common. Further evidence is required to determine the mechanisms of protective benefit. Patients with a-fib are at increased risk of stroke and heart attack therefore first line therapy should always be followed where feasible.

For pain I have been taking vicoden am up to taking three 7.5 vicoprofin and a 10 mg vicoden these are spread over an entire 24 hrs as my neck back and hips hurt so bad I cant stay asleep because of pain. I used to smoke pot which is legal in oregon and when I did I was taking on average 3 5mg vicoin a day and sometimes less. But since I moved the clinic I go to has a no pot policy... So they upped my pain meds..My regular Dr. left and now the new one is saying I basically don't need my clonopin which saved my life as I got to the point my panic and aniexty stopped me from living life at all. She is also threatening to take my pain meds away. I am livid honestly without them I couldn't walk 5 miles a day and do the simple things that consist of living. Can I stop the pain meds and smoke pot without the withdrawl I read about stopping the vicoden? help\n\"\n_____________________\nI'm terribly sorry for your current situation.  Using med cann to help pt's wean off opiates &/or benzodiazepines has been done by myself and the other HelloMD MD's.  Usually a slow, gradual course is done.  For example, if you are using opiates on schedule tid/ thrice daily, then try exchanging one of the doses with only-cannabis products (with opiates on hand for \"breakthrough\" pain just in case).  Once you find the proper mg cannabis dosage, one can slowly move towards \"cannabis only\" days for analgesia &/or for anxiety/ PTSD mgmt, thereby freeing you from the potential psych dependency/ abuse risk seen with both opiates and benzodiazepines when both of these classes of meds are used day-in/ day-out.  To increase the likelihood of success, it is also imperative that you are performing CBT talk therapy or something related,  mindfulness/ meditation work daily, daily mild exercise, and also PT for a truly holistic multi-modal treatment program  for your anxiety/ PTSD/cervicalgia/ lumbago.

There are so many products/strains to choose from so I'll try to point out some recommendations by our community for each condition you've asked about.\n\nCheck out this article with descriptions of lots of different strains that have shown to help people with Fibromyalgia. I think it would be a good place to start, then you can think about the consumption method that's best for you. \n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/580d7d070d2d2f000ba48658/top-cannabis-strains-for-fibromyalgia\n\nFor PTSD and anxiety, there seems to be a lot of overlap of what people say works for them. I'll give you a preview of an article about PTSD that will appear on the site this week--one of the things we feature is this anxiety-relief tincture. This would also be great if you don't want to smoke or vape. \n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/products/5bb3c9cf7fa3280a9585f51a/relax-cbd\n\nIt also might be helpful to read a first-hand account from our co-founder about how she treats her anxiety and the specific products she uses. \n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5596a61939653800064a0000/how-medical-marijuana-tinctures-helped-melt-away-my-anxiety-and-stress\n\nHope this was helpful!\n\ngabriella","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8305-markdown","title":"Which cannabis products produce effects most like MDMA? ","slug":"which-cannabis-products-produce-effects-most-like-mdma","content":"\"Which cannabis products do you recommend for PTSD?\"\n_____________________\nAll cannabis can affect the dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine receptors just as MDMA/Ecstasy can. Therefore you can get negative side effects such as hallucinations, especially with edibles, dabs or bong hits, but also positive side effects such as a sense of general happiness, increased sociability, relaxation and reduced anxiety.  Any of these side effects can also show up in reverse and make people have less sociability, depression and increased anxiety for instance, especially with abuse.  \n\nFor PTSD, I would recommend an indica hybrid as the hybrid will take away the anxiety and paranoia that cannabis can have as a side effect, especially with Sativa products.  An indica hybrid will help erase dreams at night hopefully helping with nightmares you may be having.

In fact many people are reporting complete resolution of PTSD because CBD has specific pathways to block the amygdala reconsolidation while enhancing the ability to extinguish bad memories. CBD also restores the endocannabinoid system balance by inhibiting FAAH enzyme that breaks down \nour anandamide and 2-AG. In addition CBD normalizes the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis modulating adrenaline and cortisol. About 60mg of CBD may be needed.\n\ndrblair","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":3,"currentPage":1,"id":5667,"name":"Ptsd","slug":"ptsd","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
