ADHD/GAD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder/ Generalized Anxiety Disorder) Looking for CBD or supplement recommendations
Anyone here managing both anxiety/GAD and ADHD naturally? Looking for recommendations
Body: Hey everyone, I’m curious to hear from people who deal with both anxiety (or GAD) and ADHD — how are you managing your symptoms naturally or with minimal meds?
I was prescribed Hydroxyzine, and while it did calm my racing thoughts, I had a pretty rough experience with it overall. It made me breathe funny, gave me super vivid lucid dreams, and even what felt like somatic hallucinations. As I was waking up, I’d feel like I was hearing things drop on the floor or doors closing when nothing was actually happening. I also had these strange waves go through my body anytime I heard a sudden noise. On top of that, I felt foggy most of the time, and tapering off during the last couple of weeks was really uncomfortable.
Now, I’m thinking of trying CBD oil to see if it helps with anxiety and focus without all those side effects. Has anyone here used CBD for both anxiety and ADHD? Did it help calm your body and mind, or improve concentration? Any specific brands, dosages, or tips would be amazing. I brought some recently & would love to hear your experiences with it.
I’m also open to hearing what supplements have helped others — I’ve heard magnesium, L-theanine, and omega-3s can be beneficial, but I’d love to know what’s actually worked for you.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences 💛
