Cbd?

I take gabapentin for leg twitches and to help me sleep. I wonder of CBD gummies might be a safer way to do the same thing. Anyone have any experience to share?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound derived from the cannabis plant that does not include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), meaning it doesn't cause the “high” associated with marijuana. Here are some key points from the knowledge base:

- Forms and Usage:
- Oral Supplements: Some individuals with MS have taken CBD supplements, such as a 25 milligram dose, to help manage symptoms.
- Topical Applications: CBD in cream form has been used by some to relieve muscle and joint pain, with reports of effectiveness in treating peripheral neuropathy symptoms.

- Effectiveness:
- Oral CBD: Users have reported varying effectiveness, with some needing higher doses for significant symptom relief, which can be expensive and inconsistent among different brands.
- Topical CBD: Some users have found relief from pain using topical CBD, though the exact effects on MS symptoms are not thoroughly studied.

- Cautions:
- Regulation: Topical CBD treatments are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, so caution is advised when purchasing these products.
- Consultation: It is important to talk to a doctor before starting any CBD treatment, as it can have side effects and interactions with other medications.
