What has helped my anxiety immensely:

  • twice a day (I do first thing in the morning & right before bed), on an empty stomach (this means at least 2 hours after eating anything substantial with fat/protein, like, an apple is fine, & at least 20 minutes before eating anything) I take GABA (People will say GABA doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier; it does, just not all of it)
  • same thing as above at night with magnesium TAURATE-- has to be taurate
  • take CBD on an as-needed basis, it's more effective on an empty stomach as well
  • at least once a day I do guided meditation (yoga nidra or non-sleep deep rest) for at least 10 minutes

You can mess around with your own dosages till you find out what works for you. Know that excess magnesium can cause loose stool.

But are there any side effects that you might have noticed?

Bad ones, you mean? Nah. Maybe I'm more tired than I would have been sometimes, that's about the worst that could happen (as long as your supplements are legit). And like I said, too much magnesium can cause loose stools, but most people are low in it, & it's really important for health.

What form of CBD have you taken and at what dose has worked for you? I've seen some sources say as little as 10mg while others as high as 500mg (tincture)
