Just read a few Medical articles suggesting that Nicotine + CBD Oil can be beneficial for controlling dopamine levels and mood swings in people living with Schizophernia.I smoke but don’t take CBD Oil any comments on this and thoughts would be most appreciated thanks!
The biggest killer of schizophrenics is cardiovascular disease. And the biggest cause is smoking.
Quit smoking !
Edit: I vape an ecig now.

I read this one thing that said smoking might actually make psychosis worse, and the link between smoking and schizophrenia wasn’t that it helped psychosis, but the opposite. Who knowssss. I know a lot of us are smokers. Seems to soothe me

I vape like a trooper and I would be an angry mess without my nicotine. I even slap on a patch when I’m at work and can’t vape.

Nicotine has been proven good for SZ. CBD as well but in high doses.

@anon57786250 Thanks for your reply that what i read aswell:kissing_heart:
I vape now using 16mg nicotine liquid. Purely to save money - always smoked so dunno whether its beneficial. Found CBD to be snake oil - as others have said you need a quite a high dose for it to work, and at 40 quid was too expensive. All i know is that i can get grumpy without nicotine - but thats more to do with addiction rather than the Sz.
