There were no CBD companies in 2014, at least not in San Diego, so I looked up a YouTube video on how to make Rick Simpson Oil. Katie and I networked in the cannabis community to find doctors supporting cannabis, did lots of online research and ended up making the CBD oil ourselves to try. I felt like a difference person within 2 days. I wasn't tired, I could focus, I didn't feel the despair that I had been struggling with for so long. It had such a dramatic impact on my life, and Katie, that we decided to dive more into the research of why this working and perfecting our formula so I could potentially be off all pharmaceuticals one day.
There would be much trial and error with our formulas over the next year, but we ultimately found a regime that works for me. I am currently taking 50mg-75mg of CBD per day (depending on my anxiety level), along with 250mg of Depakote ER per day and 200mg of Lamictal per day. I feel I have found a healthy balance where I am seizure free, but don't have the side effects from taking large amounts of the pharmaceuticals everyday.
