"Have been taking this medication alongside diazepam, which I am tapering off. I have found my mood is more calm, but not sure if that is related to the CBD. For about 1-2 months, I've been taking around 40-50mg 2-3 times a day, although this may be excessive. Only use this as a medication if its production is regulated, as you may unknowingly be consuming some THC as well, which can show up on drug tests and impair your thinking. I think this mildly helps, but if you have intense anxiety, you will probably need more than this, but it can help alongside other medications (check there are no interactions with CBD). I would say I have experienced absolutely no adverse effects from this medication, so just give it a go and see if it helps. Remember, medication is only a temporary solution. It is always better to find the root cause of your anxiety and work with mental health professionals than to treat it with a drug and have your symptoms come back later. Stay safe."
