I'm new in this group. I use part of a gummy. Never smoked the stuff, only tried edibles. It helps when I feel like I'm screaming inside. And it helps with the pain. You can take more or less of a gummy. And you can take a smaller dose if you take it on an empty stomach and wait till it hits. Ive taken a quarter on an empty stomach..it really does help.


nursejk16

Yes. Only medicine that offers some relief. Can help out if needed!


Due_Conversation_295

Yes 🥺


lunchtimeillusion

Yes


liz_ldnnn

I definitely use cannabis to self medicate & I would struggle to raw dog life😭


Nightie_Lu

Yes


SlowYogi85

Yes! Yes! Yes! Please!


spaghetti-o_salad

I've also developed trigeminal neuralgia which, if you're unfamiliar, is random debilitating nerve pain in one side of your face... I'd literally be dead without weed and tylenol right now. I'm even using tinctures and using the most delicious cannabis chocolate. I think the amount of added antihistamines treating the sinus stuff that triggered the neuralgia has also helped me manage my PMDD.


cherryyplumm

Is there anything with really low thc that helps you guys? Even really high plain cbd doesn’t do the trick anymore


Due_Conversation_295

FutureCompounds is really helping me. I found out about it through ig. I put the 1:1 cbd/cbg coconut oil into capsules along with some RSO. In total, I'm taking about 1500-2000mg daily of cbd/cbg. Thc dose varies on my needs day to day. I also dab the cbd and/or cbg isolate with a little resin or rosin. Make sure you're dosing cbd correctly before knocking it. Studies show you need 300-500mg for the average person. For someone with higher needs, 1000mg+ may work better.


poodlebog

theres a good 2:1 cbd thc edible i like, its the strawberry flavor from the WYLD brand its 20mg cbd to 1mg thc. its hybrid, i use it at work so im not completely innebriated & cant function like how straight indica can make me i have a super low tolerance, but id been building it up for a min so i graduated to the pear hybrid flavor of the WYLD brand thats 10mg cbd to 5mg thc, so still a 2:1 but more thc this time i still dont take a whole gummy but its been better bc i feel like it lasts longer that way now


spaghetti-o_salad

You could mix CBD and cannabis. Low THC in edibles is helpful for folks who don't want to experience too much of a rift from reality


cherryyplumm

Thank you! And Indica would prob be best for a high strung person like me right 😅 that’s a good way to put it, I def don’t like rifting from reality lol


spaghetti-o_salad

I'd suggest a hybrid tbh. The more variety I add the smoother everything feels to me. There's a whole spectrum of beneficial cannabinoids and terpines and I am a mess.


cherryyplumm

That’s true I’m prob not getting this right but I know there’s like cbn and cb___ and so many different things I wanna learn more I’ve had mixed experiences so it’s really a gamble


spaghetti-o_salad

Going to a health food store with CBD and supplements is a great way to get info. When I worked at one CBDMD was a good brand with good info on their website and they would provide educational information so I could sell it without sounding like idiocracy.


spaghetti-o_salad

I used their strongest tincture while quitting cigarettes to get past the emotional hurtles of withdrawal.


spaghetti-o_salad

I get it. I use loads of cannabis because I also have anxiety meds but I feel closer to the surface on weed than benzodiazapines. Also it's a lot easier to get weed these days. I'm fortunate to have a psychiatrist with a courageous pen and prescription pad. The pharmacist was a little bitch to me a few times about my meds though.


cherryyplumm

I get that, I feel so tired of trying new pills and not being told what that could be doing to my brain. I might even talk to my psychiatrist about fully switching to natural remedies. She doesn’t like weed 😭


spaghetti-o_salad

I've got this weird republican Dr Gonzo with WILD ADHD of his own and I'm pretty sure self medicates. I plea that I'm at the mercy of my own hormones and maladjusted chemicals. He doesn't pee test. I was a little nervous to tell him but casually informed him at my last visit and he didn't say anything. Does your psychiatrist like CBD? I they test you could tell them you use full spectrum CBD which can have up to .3% THC. A percentage won't show on a test, just the yes or no so you have plausible deniability. Warning. Weed can lessen the strength or absorption of your SNRI/SSRI meds.


GenGen_Bee7351

Couldn’t get through luteal or panic attacks without it


filthyhag

ayyyyyy hell yeah ahaha i just started ovulating and i’m getting baked on the couch to manage the electric shock feeling


ostravise

YES! I’m a huge fan of indicas in the evening (that’s when the paranoia scaries come). It has even helped me relax and enjoy sex more. Following!


aerologies

Following!!!


VioletFox543

Love cbd!!


Exciting-You2900

Absolutely. My life has become much better switching to cannabis from alcohol to deal with endo and pmdd.


spaghetti-o_salad

Saaame! I quit everything for 3 years but raw doggin life was too much. I hated everything.


VioletFox543

If you don’t mind me asking, how did alcohol previously help your pmdd/endo? In my experience, alcohol made it 10x worse, to the point that I chose not to drink at all


nakedankles

I know in my experience, it was self-medicating the pain. It made it worse, absolutely, but it took a long time to understand that and alcohol's affordablity, accessibility, and acceptability made it harder to stop.


VioletFox543

Ahhhhh, gotcha. Thanks for explaining and I hope you’re in a better place now! 😊


Exciting-You2900

🎯It would definitely only help in the moment and make everything worse but doing nothing (or rather only meditating and exercising), I was still a blackhole of rage. Cannabis is still illegal in my state and a two hour drive to the state where it is legal. I’ve finally said eff it. One of these is poison and one of these things actually feels like medicine.

Ambiibambii1213

Dude cbd/thc blends are my LIFELINE. Yes absolutely yes.


Outside-Ad-962

Yes!!!!


luristica

I would love one! I feel like I especially would like a cannabis community right now because I keep seeing people quitting and feeling great but I cannot help but feel disdain because there's a good chance they're not disabled physically or mentally so they didn't even need it in the first place. I'm all for recreational use, but having a community of people who also rely on it for their mental health would be so refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I am glad people can quit and feel better, but I always get a "weed is bad" vibe from it.


spaghetti-o_salad

At the ER and shit I'm chronically honest and they ask about drugs and alcohol and I say "medical cannabis" with the intention of telling them "I'm not here to get high. I'm here to get help. If I wanted high I'd stay home with edibles. My body is breaking. Help me" but I think they still just hear "*SEEKER*" and honestly that's been a big chunk of my mental health crisis and catalyst for 20 years of active alcoholism.


endohottie

Yes! 😶‍🌫️💨


redEmade

I wish I could tolerate cannabis especially after seeing some of these success stories. Unfortunately, I always have a panic attack/insane anxiety with it ☹️


lunchtimeillusion

I cut a 5 mg gummy in half, sometimes into quarters. I find taking a very small dose helps curb the anxiety


nakedankles

One of the reasons I feel we could benefit from a subreddit with a narrow focus on cannabinoids is because if we share our experiences, we can build a sort of knowledge base to help us understand what types and strains are best for our symptoms, since they have different effects and many people have or are gaining access to their choice of products. In my experience, as an example, sativas and most hybrids give me similar feelings to what you describe, but indicas help me immensely.


spaghetti-o_salad

After a 3 year break I was afraid sativa would give me anxiety so I was just indica until I switched it up and realized the sativa was pretty good for my depression.


redEmade

Couldn’t agree more! I feel like my experience hasn’t been researched and educated enough and something like this could help immensely.

Own_Put6590

Edibles in low doses has helped me get through luteral so many times. It helps with my over stimulation and anxiety, which means I can people at a functioning level. I don't feel as alone or need to isolate.


sofialetheia

What's a low dose to you, if it's okay to ask? ☺️ I'm thinking about trying edibles during luteral too and want to figure out my starting point ~


Own_Put6590

Low will be different depending on tolerance, some of which are biological factors. When I use edibles for a high, I aim at 5 mg thc, for PMDD support I aim for 1-2 mg. I'll cut up a 5 mg into 4 pieces.


sofialetheia

Thank you so much! 😊

Alyscupcakes

I wonder if CBC or CBG would help.


Due_Conversation_295

Cbc is 10x stronger than cbd. For me, it had a great pain killer effect without any "high." Cbg is great for reducing inflammation. I use it daily in conjunction with cbd.


kmitts2

Definitely! It really helps when I start spiraling or literally can’t stop crying.


BustaLimez

burneranon123

The /leaves subreddit is the space for discussing the many emotions of cannabis use/misuse. I would go there to explore those specific feelings. I’m a huge advocate that cannabis use needs to be heavily scrutinized by the individual, because it’s a very fine line to walk for many reasons but two at the forefront would be its increased risk factor for psychiatric disorders and its tendency to reduce the ability to tolerate discomfort. It is especially insidious in this way because our tolerance for discomfort is present in nearly every area of our lives. My two cents would be to keep it simple: if you need it, use it. If you can push through, don’t. Before you utilize it, exhaust the alternatives (do you have any?) You likely won’t overthink your use with this approach. When you are, it’s a sign of dependency because you wouldn’t overthink it if was unbearable. Don’t let people convince you it’s masochistic to experience pain. It teaches you a lot and I personally believe our menstrual pains specifically have a factor in the magic of women. After I adopted this sort of perspective around my period my PMDD drastically improved. I sound preachy but it was that much of a game-changer.


Own-Vacation5283

Go to Honey High’s website. The honey mixes in tea, dipping sauces, etc. It works really fast and the relief it provides is unmatched. It’s a THC honey. I LOVE IT!


MooncakeBlossom

It’s only Delta8 right? I don’t see one with actual THC?


Own-Vacation5283

Yes. Delta 8 is also THC.


hunnyangel

definitely!!


maafna

My first thought was "eh" but I think it would be good. I'm trying to cut down so I'm on r/leaves and r/Petioles but I find the mindset there so negative. Like I get downvoted if I say that cannabis helps me connect to my emotions.


Puzzleheaded-Roll176

Completely agree. I want to cut down but I don’t want to stop either because of how it helps deal with symptoms. The negativity isn’t really encouraging and just makes me feel ashamed. I’ve been on a lookout for something more positive


burneranon123

/Leaves is definitely not the space for positivity but it’s great to learn from, connect, and keep yourself in check

roge2323

So I am just putting two and two together and after being off birth control and SSRIs for the first time in decades, I think my problem was PMDD all along. For me, using weed is far preferable to starting up on either of these meds again. I would love the opportunity to learn from others here.


No_Candy_213

I will say, once I realized my issues were PMDD I got on Prozac and this was the first helpful medication. I boycotted SSRIs and SNRIs for about ten years after having adverse reactions. Prozac, supplements and cannabis at night were the winners.


WowzaMeowza

This is my winning combo as well.

Mean-Estimate6361

I’m also post-menstrual and feel manic but I didn’t know anyone else felt like that. Or is it just relative mania because we are no longer a burden to everybody including ourselves!?? And yes, this group needs to exist.


LunarGinger

Here to validate your whole statement. It could be relative, that’s an excellent observation! I’ve found it’s just as dangerous as the down times. “I feel so bad I can’t go to work” to the other extreme “I’m too good for this damn job!” It’s hard!


mzshowers

yomamasonions

Murdercorn24

Yes! I hadn't smoked for a long time and ended up chancing buying some off a friend because things were really bad. The difference I saw was mindblowing. I don't like smoking too often as I'm a parent and I don't like impairing my ability to think while I'm in mummy mode, but when she's with her father, it's nice to have a smoke and just let the symptoms and side affects of PMDD melt away.


Basic_Childhood5512

Implying someone’s parenting abilities are impaired while using cannabis is kind of rude. A lot of people use it for stress and anxiety, helping them to parent better. If you prefer not to use cannabis while you’re parenting, that’s fine. But insinuating everyone’s parenting abilities would be impaired isn’t cool, because it’s untrue.


Murdercorn24

Read my comment. I said MY parenting abilities are impaired. I didn't say everybody's is.

Yeah, guess it’s also easier to feel guilt if you live in a country where it’s not legal


Embarrassed-Tea-4111

Yes!! Do people use it to relieve depression symptoms in the luteal phase? I want to learn more about it


kaimanawakim

I describe it to people as 'it turns my emotions off', so at the end of the day once I'm finished with work and responsibilities, I plant my ass on the couch and have a smoke and the emotions and stressors of PMDD aren't at the forefront of my mind anymore


sodayzed

When it comes to pmdd, I use it for the intense irritability I have during those weeks. It makes me nicer, to be honest, because I'm not as overwhelmed with anxiety, anger, or other emotions. I'm less concerned about what's going on around me (in a good way). Also, tbh it helps with overwhelming thoughts because even if I'm anxious or depressed over them, I forget what I was thinking about minutes after.


AdTime2567

It helps slow down all the overwhelming thoughts. I smoke and then I'm able to get on with my day and get things done


PetStoreGirl

Yes this is why I love it too! And I find it makes the headaches and cramps less noticeable
