Whatever happened to CBD for schizophrenia?

Medications
1

A couple of years ago all the rave was on how CBD will be the “cure” for schizophrenia
All these cannabis pharmaceutical companies placed a lot of money and resources into coming up with CBD based medications treating mental disorders like schizophrenia
I was caught up on the CBD craze as well for a while
Today the craze is basically over.
CBD might improve anxiety at higher doses but schizophrenia?
No……

Cbd did nothing for me. I tried gummies, tea and oil. It was a disappointment.

I asked my pdoc about it but she disapproved so I didn’t try.

I never tried CBD because of the interaction with Depakote
But I was a believer back then

I took a bag of CBD gummies a few years ago and I think it just made me fall asleep. Didn’t do anything for my schizophrenia.

I think the issue was that, in order to be effective, people had to take like $60 worth every day.

GW pharma was investigating it.

They were bought by jazz pharma.

There’s no mention of schizophrenia in their pipeline.

Hot take: I find CBD to be useful. I smoke the flower, though, so it has the best effects. Helps with my mood, anxiety, stress, pain relief, etc. I made a pros and cons list of smoking flower, and the pros far outweigh the cons. It doesn’t help with positive symptoms, I’ve found. My pdoc knows and doesn’t have a problem with it.

I find that CBD has good mood stabilizing properties in high doses.

That’s what happens when people realize something doesn’t actually work as advertised. Keto will be the next craze to go in the dumpster. Speaking as someone who was on that train early and discovered that it wasn’t going where I wanted it to.

Judging by my experience with it, it doesn’t help with schizophrenia. It only helps with the anxiety and stress. That’s about it.
The docs from the Curaleaf clinic, where I’m subscribed, said that. So now I just take it to relax and sleep better.

I almost died because of CBD in the interaction with my AP (Invega).

I tried the right amount of CBD and it was wonderful. I felt like my neurons were protected. Voices seemed so far away. I felt like I was being protected from everything. I think they’re not approving it, because they want people in distress.

My doctor told me that CBD for schizophrenia is in phase 2. There is still a lack of evidence. The results are mixed.
