Did anyone have any positive results with CBD products? (feddit.de)

Not too long ago, regulations on CBD changed in Germany leading to a plethora of products containing it. As someone who occasionally needs pain medication, I tried some of the products to avoid regular pain killers (ibu). Especially on days with lighter pain, I wished for an alternative to the sledgehammer meds. But I was left standing in the rain. I didn't feel any effect. That's why I would love to hear from your experiments and experience.

Have you tried cgrp antagonists? I tried literally everything to the point where multiple neurologists said they couldn't help me. I was using THC for a long time for my migraines but I was still suffering. With cgrp antagonists I feel 100% normal and it works every time, even if it takes longer if I take it too late.

It's worth trying a sample if you haven't, because it's a world of difference between being high with a migraine and just not having one anymore IMO

Nurtec is approved for preventative now too

CBD never did shit for migraines for me, only anxiety

I have not. As I eluded to, I haven’t tried any of the news classes of drugs, as I found something that worked well for me, before they became available.

I was in the same boat though. I’ve seen more neurons than I can count over my multiple decades of life, and all of them just throw their hands up and say they tried but can’t help me. The last one, left it as you’ll do Botox or I’m done with you.

Thankfully, for me, I just need to have small hit every night ( not enough to even see psychoactive effects) to mostly keep them away.

As for abortive, there are a few strains I know will almost always stop anything in its tracks, and if for some reason it doesn’t, well being stoned out of my gourd works too.
