I've tried Xanax in the past for anxiety. But I think the Xanax is addictive and I didn't want to take it every day. The CBD does decrease my anxiety. It's only been a few weeks. And I've decided to be more consistent about a week ago. I ordered more. I also noticed that while on a keto diet, I don't get carb hungry pains any more. So that's a funny side effect. It's a real hunger pain killer, like a light switch. I'm sticking to my diet better. Finally, losing weight daily. I can definitely see why so many are saying that this stuff is good for many things.
