I’ve been struggling with sleep issues for over a decade now. My Doctor has prescribed me all sorts of medication, all of which has had many adverse side effects. What I do know that works, is Xanax. My wife was prescribed it for some stress issues and occasionally will give me one so I can finally sleep. Obviously asking my Doctor, “can I have Xanax” Will not go well. I’ve eluded to it in ways and the response has always been along the lines of “that’s habit forming, I’d rather you try this”. Of the many medications prescribed, none have worked. Resorting to the dark web is something I’d really rather not do. Fentanyl laced drugs took my sister and it’s a road I hope to not have to explore. Any suggestions?

    Did you try cbd then? One of my coworker swear by it. One or two drop under the the tongue and he goes to sleep like a baby.

    Edit: nvm i just saw you were already on it. You might try to slow down on the thc and give cdb a bigger chance since too much thc might give you more anxiety.

      Totally. I’m 100% a burn out and need to tone it down. I’ve battled with learning moderation when it comes to weed but I’ve had lots of bumps in the road. Trying to ween myself off smoking and go straight edibles. I should try the “under the tongue” concentrates though. Thanks
