Hi there,
I am having a bit of a strange reaction to CBD oil taken as a sublingual tincture.
After marijuana was legalized in California i decided to give CBD a chance so i got one of these tinctures:
https://www.cbd.org/products/cbd-sublingual-drops
They come in various THC:CBD ratios.
I tried the 1:2 THC:CBD first and i was able to sleep really well without feeling "high". The next day i had more energy than I have had in many years. I was able to read quite a big and get a lot done. However, as the evening progressed i began feeling very manic. I had a weird energy and my thoughts were racing and I was getting very anxious and felt like i couldnt control the flow of my thoughts.
(I have to mention here that I have OCD which can get really bad).
I then decided to go back and try the 1:18 ratio tincture which almost has no THC. I figured maybe the THC is messing with my OCD symptoms. The new tincture had a much more gradual effect but I also got a lot of energy during the week but then i felt many times in the evening that my OCD is kicking into high gear and I am feeling manic.
I have noticed a similar thing before with NAC which gave me pretty serious mania and anxiety and I swore never to touch it again and threw my bottle out.
There seems to me that there is a weird relationship between my CFS symptoms (including brain fog) and my OCD symptoms. Things that seem to lift my mental fog often cause a manic feeling which worsens my anxiety.
Here is a super brosciency theory: maybe my CFS is in fact caused by my OCD? i do remember my CFS started when my anxiety was starting to fully bloom in my grad studied. Maybe a suppression of all nervous functions is my body's way of coping with the intolerable anxiety? if the light is too bright, just break the lamp? This would certainly be consistent with similar stories of people whose symptms started during an emotionally stressful time. Maybe CFS is body's coping mechanism.
Anyways , I dont know nothing about biology and physiology, and broscience theories dont serve anyone, so forgive my indiscretion.
Thanks
