Family member suffering from insomnia and is now taking Temazepam daily which is not good obviously. I'm looking at alternatives for her like CBD Oil but there are so many variants in the market. Any users using CBD Oil to treat insomnia/lack of sleep?

I have tried both and Temazepam was great,but very addictive, Then i tried CBD oil with thc and it got me way too high and it did the opposite of what i needed, I then went to smoking joints and those did the trick but munchies became too much and i couldn't stop eating which caused me to gain weight, I couldn't afford to lose my twinkish body so In the end i quit all three.
 
Haven't tried CBD oil but have been using Lion's Mane and it works great. Obviously the effects are not the same for every individual.
 
I tried CBD oil and I hardly felt anything (pain treatment) so I gave up on that. Very expensive it was too.

Where are you from? We using CBD to help with insomnia and it's been great, but you need to find a decent supplier with a proper mix, you need the thc for it to be effective, but too much and you might get the high feeling (although you could also limit the dose)

Centurion. Please let me know which product you are using and where to source from.
 
CBD oil will do nothing if she is already dependant on Temazepam...

Benzo's mess with the normal response of your GABA A receptors making all other mild meds that work on these receptors close to ineffective.

Taking benzos basically enhances the GABA receptors response to the chemical messenger which makes you calm and sleepy (GABA). When you take benzos every day your brain doesn't respond normally to GABA and can take weeks to months to normalise.

First ween off the benzos along with some high dose CBD...

This is the plan but I need to know which CBD oil to buy as I don't want to end up spending thousands searching for the 'right' brand/formulation.

This is what I have below. 600mg/ml. It's very good quality, and potent for someone who is not taking benzos or prescription sedatives. But it really will do very little for someone cold turkeying from Temazepam on it's own.

There is a company called CDXX in Durban (they are on FB) I am sure you can find many like them. They are relatively affordable and they have the more "gel" type oil, just a small amount under the tongue about 30-45 minutes before bed and it has helped immensely. Something else I can suggest that I have seen promoted is a Magnesium supplement before bed.

Saw a Huberman clip where it was said that cannabis can help you fall asleep but doesnt necessarily help with quality of sleep. They referenced studies.

That said, talk to the health shops/chemists/cannabis shop about FECO (Full extract cannabis oil) and dosage for the specific symptoms.

as mentioned in other posts, existing meds can affect how the cannabis works

Of course, I mean I had kind of the same situation of not wanting to waste money testing random stuff, thats kind of why I ended up going with oil after reading a bunch of real reviews on CBD oil from real users. Helped me narrow things down without all that BS
