i fell into a pretty deep depression, but slowly. i felt nothing immediately. i started using some pretty hi-dose edibles, cuz i have a very high tolerance. 100mg/day, later 200, for about 6 mos. it was like brain drano. not only cleared out all symptoms of fibro, but neuro-ticks from a childhood tbi.
it did get the gears turning a bit fast. borderline manic. so i quit, tho i continued to smoke a fair amount. i expected to have to figure out a maintenance dose that wd hang on to the good parts, but 4 yrs later, the symptoms never returned.
i take a cbn-cbd-thc pill for sleep now. i tried several other meds that didnt rly help. this helps, but what helps a lot more is getting enough exercise. i wear a tracker, mostly to watch my sleep. if i hit my goal of 5000 steps, i will sleep well. if i hit 8k, i sleep like a baby. if i have a sedentary day, i will sleep like crap.
i have a young dog that needs walking, so thats a lot of my steps. but i bought a treadmill, for me and for the dogs, cuz i wuss out easily in bad weather. if i do 15-20 min in the evening, i usually sleep well.
have u had a sleep study? i had a cpap at 1 time. i lost a lot of weight and had a clean study. but i still wake up too many times a night. i have an appt coming up w a new sleep doc. part of my problem is lung issues. the cpap didnt stop a ton of apneas, but it did keep my nasal passages dry, which helped a lot. im trying to quit tobacco, switching to low nicotine vapes to transition, and im gonna switch to vapes instead of flower. vapes r helping the snot flow.
i just filed to renew my medical card. im tired of having little choice of strains from a street dealer. so i can figure out which strains work for what. my local adult use dispensary has medical monday, where card holders get half price. their prices r starting to come down. they were getting top dollar, despite being a short trip from mich, where legalization pushed prices way down.
market pressures r starting to take hold.
hope thats helpful.
