Delbow   686 #1 Posted January 11, 2021 Restless leg is the bane of my chuffing life. It frequently stops me getting to sleep, or wakes me up with a jolt just after I've dropped off, and I find myself wide awake and not able to get back to sleep until the wee hours, and when I have to get up for work I feel awful. So I've just ordered some CBD oil to see if that helps - I'm aware there will be no solid evidence whether it is effective or not, but I'd rather trial it myself before considering something like gabapentin. I'll report back to say whether it helps or not, but has anyone else tried it for restless legs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It’s very expensive, but what it did do was to relax me especially at night while asleep. You can try it as it may work on you. Do you intend to rub it into your legs or take it by mouth.? You can also buy  CBD balm to rub in. Let us know how you go on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It arrived today, it's the oil you put under your tongue - I won't use it tonight because I'll be on the booze tonight and won't know if it worked, but tomorrow is a dry night so I'll give it a go then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Delbow   686 #4 Posted January 15, 2021 A promising start. I took the lowest dose for my weight (18mg) an hour before I went to bed, and although it took me a while to get to sleep I didn't have any restless leg. My legs felt heavier than usual and I wasn't worried that I wouldn't be able to get to sleep - it's usually the tell-tale tingle in my legs that give me the fear that I'm not going to be able to drop off. It's only one night of course, so I'll need to do it a few more times to see if it continues to help, but a good start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Delbow   686 #5 Posted March 24, 2021 Overall, I would say this has been helpful. I have found I need 11-12 drops for it to properly work, and then it does seem to help me get off to sleep without my legs twitching. It also seems to help me get good sleep and I feel good the following day. Of course it would be a lot cheaper if I could just buy some weed.

You are going to use it up quickly with 11- 12 drops each time. Weed is a different combination from CBD oil, which has no “ highs” in it.

Forbiddenzon   0 #8 Posted January 24, 2022 Hi. I do not like creams at all, they are usually of little use. So reading the article on cbd cream https://www.sfweekly.com/sponsored/what-is-cbd-cream/ I wasn't sure this cream would help me. But, as they say, until you try, you will not know one hundred percent. The choice of creams with various additional effects is quite wide. I chose a moisturizing effect so that the skin does not dry out from frequent use. But the main function of analgesia cream performs well.
