I got 8000 mg prescribed. First day 100mg, second day 200mg, third 300..... up to 800mg.
The Dr said CBD is quick acting.
i have no idea yet how to safely check if it is working or not. CBD inhibits the metabolism of Seroquel.

well...
i guess at some point, when i am on 800mg CBD, i have to reduce Seroquel or Zyprexa drastically to figure out if CBD does indeed work as an antipsychotic for me.
How else will i know?

or briefly discontinue CBD?
I am sure it can be figured out.
It may take some time to determine if it works as an AP.

Lamdage22,
I just wanted to wish you luck with cannabidiol. I hope that you'll benefit from the compound in some way.
Have you started taking it yet?

> TomatheusThanks Tomatheus. No i probably try this week though. I may need to do a wire to the pharmacy since my cc has a pretty low limit. So it may take a few days.
I wanna hear from Jeroen though about symptoms that would be an alarm signal. Jeroen?

Are you taking pure CBD, or is it some % of the total complex. I had noticable effects from just 3mg pure cbd, at first. Now I take about 10-20, and notice some sedation, calming less anxiety. I think you should start with a really low dose and take it from there. You probably should take it at night, I don't know what your doc said. It does kick in almost as soon as you take it, like a couple minutes.
I wouldn't just quit the other meds you take. Reduce slowly as cbd takes effect, and ramp up the cbd slowly.
Also some people don't take cbd all at once, me included. You can take little doses all day. But it may work to take it all at night. I take a couple doses at night. It has a half life of some thing like 24-48h. Depending on how you take it. What did your doc tell you to do?

It is 5% CBD Solution.
My doc told me to start with 100mg and raise it by 100mg every day until i hit 800mg.

Not really feeling anything. I dont feel worse or better.
If anything better but that may be placebo.

Lamdage, you deserve healing. You've certainly worked hard enough for it.

How is the trial going? Did you reduce any meds yet. And what dose of cbd are you at? Any effects yet?
How do you take the cbd? Eat, inject. How do you measure it? How much did it cost?

> How is the trial going?
Going ok. Not feeling much of anything
Did you reduce any meds yet.
No.
And what dose of cbd are you at? Any effects yet?
300mg without effects so far.
> How do you take the cbd? Eat, inject.
Swallow it.
How do you measure it?
In a 10ml syringe. (Its a 5% cbd liquid). 50mg/ml.
How much did it cost?
Its expensive. My father pays it right now. It will be cheaper (½) in the near future and beginning in June 2016, there is a chance that insurance will cover it. Legislation in Germany has a law underway.

there may be a problem, because Cannabidiol doesnt help sleep as much as Seroquel or Zyprexa.

Would it be worth adding something for sleep to be able to reduce an AP? Tough choices I know.

i would like to try some low THC Cannabis actually.
Cannabinol for example would be something that makes you sleepy.
Today, i am on 400mg of CBD. Tomorrow 600, then the day after tomorrow 800!
The only thing i feel is the Cyp3a4 inhibition. The 500mg Seroquel i take at night kicks in much more than i am used to. At least now i know i got the real deal.

If you are noticing that now, you may want to stay at that dose of cbd, for a while. Then decrease some seroquel and or zyprexa.
It took me a couple weeks to a month if I remember correctly, before I reduced zyprexa. I did start out pretty low on the cbd.
BTW I'm currently taking 2/3 of a 20mg zyprexa now. I started a new sealed bottle. And yes its more potent than the old bottle was at the end. The 2 bottles are made at the same time just opened 2 months apart.
