CBD Oils?

Fri, 04/18/2014 - 14:27
I am curious if anyone has tried the new CBD oil to control their epilepsy. I have read many great things about it really controlling seizures and maybe trying it myself. I have been on about 9 different medications now and am going back on Monday for another one. If this round of medications doesn't work I am really thinking about the CBD oil. Does anyone have experience with this? Or know someone who does?

I get blanks when I’m

I get blanks when I’m sleeping, can I take the CBD oil before bed to get a more relaxed sleep? Or does it have to be after the seizure?

I got idiopathic epilepsy

Submitted by Andy Haase on Tue, 2018-06-12 - 10:25
I got idiopathic epilepsy after the gulf war, i still have 2-3 grand mal seizures a year.  Im on keppra 750mg bid right now, I tried some CBD oil 600mg and it really didnt do anything.  What strength is everyone using, maybe the dose was to small or maybe it just wasnt pure enough.  Being muscular and having seizures is probably some of the worst pains you can imagine, literally feels like every muscle in my body is torn off the bone, Ive even gone into  rhabdomyolysis on several occasions.
