CBD oils

Hi, I wonder if anyone can advise me on CBD oils for Neuropathy, I currently take Gabapentin and Duloxetin for this but I still suffer really badly, especially at night, which then affects my sleep pattern, like it's virtually non-existant

Thanks in advance for any info.

I don't know anything about this product because it's not available where I live (NZ). I do know that if you were to try it, it would be a good idea to tell your doctor, in case there are potential adverse effects with the combination of the other meds you take.

I tried Gabapentin but it made me cripplingly drowsy. Haven't tried Duloxetine. AFAIK, both these meds should probably be reviewed by the doctor in case they're not doing anything. You might need a referral to a neurologist. I can sympathise because neuropathy is really hard to live with.
 
I have no knowledge of CBD oils but I do know that some people can see an improvement of pain levels when they switch from Gabapentin to Pregabalin. It looks like you need a chat with your GP about your pain management. Good luck.

try simply cbd users on facebook they are really helpful, i was taking cbd for a while but stopped for a while as having to take iron tablets but will be starting back on it soon
 
I have recently been in pain doctor thinks it may be gout but the pain was so bad I got cbd oil and it has helped with the pain allot and don't get any effect like you would from the strong pain killers.. I will definitely stock up on some more.
 
Fyerther to this message, I have changed from Gabapentin to Pregabelin and also been on CBD for 10 weeks, I have reduced the Pregabelin to 2 tablets a day and Duloxetine to 1 a day, I am actually thinking of coming off them altogether slowly, as I feel the CBD oil is sufficient enough , but an slightly nervous about doing so, but my pain is virtually gone and have had the best sleep I've had in 10 years, so I for one will recommend it
 
Personally I take CBD oil for my anxiety issues. I haven't obtained my medical marijuana card yet, but I am doing my best to get it soon. I read so much useful info here and I really believe that medical marijuana is less harmful alternative to anti-anxiety meds, and with fewer side effects.
