Hey everybody,
My name is Ken, I am a 25 year old who has been suffering from epilepsy for a couple years now. I have tried several different methods to combat my seizures with little to no success. I was just curious if anyone has tried using CBD oil. After doing some research it seems to have had a positive effect on several people who are in the same condition as me. I just curious if anyone here has tried it.
Cheers,
Ken

I'm 26. I've tried it and has been the only thing to positively effect my situation. What it does is basically coat the neurons in your brain To prevent seizures. I've tried so many medications but the side effects are overwhelming because I have hyper metabolism so I was always prescribed a strong amount of medicine .

Hello. Im 29 was diagnosed at 22 with right temporal lobe epilepsy. I smoked herb for yrs before I was diagnosed. Didn't have much $ to buy my own so i grew my own 3 different times.was havin 3-5 szrs a month, simple an compLex partials and gran mals. After havin consistent access to cannibas I was havin less szrs, about 1-4 a month. as well as more simple partial seizures. CBD is in cannabis an I've never tried straight CBD oil. I smoke herbs an eat edibles, definitely helps me with the stress an anxiety from havin szrs. I would recommend tryin CBD. its not gonna get u high, THC is the chemical tht gets u high. Hope this helps

I don't know about CBD, but May I suggest talking to your doctor about a med called LaMICtal, If that dose not work, I went a whole year without arua or seizures taking a martial arts class. It was not so much what I learned, the over 100 jumping jack, stretching, working my body at least 5 days a week. You have heard it before," use it or lose it". Exercise make sense. As soon as I stopped everything came back with in a week. Good luck, life with out seizures can be amazing, always try new things don't let it win.
