I'm a 32F with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but only recently has it started to affect my sleep. The last week I've had insomnia, with only a couple nights of 7-9 hours. Even those nights I took some OTC sleep meds to help, and I slept in a lot those nights, which may have affected my rhythm. 

On Sunday, I bought some CBD oil that was supposed to help with relaxing, but the last two nights for sleep have been some of the worst I've ever had. I know it's not a cure all and does not put me to sleep itself. And that ultimately it's up to me to control my anxiety to get back on track since mind just keeps racing and racing when I try to go to sleep. But I thought CBD oil would help with that, since I getting drowsy was not the issue. I took 25 mg (the lowest dose recommended) since I didn't want to overdue it. I'm not new to CBD since I've been eating or smoking weed for 14 years (nothing heavy though). So not sure if I just haven't taken too much.

Anyone else have any experience with CBD oil? If it helps if anyone can give advice on dosage, I'm 5'3 and 135 pounds and like I said, I usually consume THC in small dosages so don't have a super high tolerance. 

I'm really hoping to get back on track with my sleep and feel terrible/ not myself. I'm doing CBT therapy, trying sleep hygiene, and have OTC sleep meds for emergencies. I'm afraid  I might have to go to a doctor to get back on anti-depressants or benzos for emergencies. (I was taking Cymbalta for 5 years from 2013-2018, which worked and like I said, did not have this longer-term insomnia before at all). 

Any advice re CBD oil or anything else?
