Yeah, been there too. Had a really ugly experience with canna butter. Made a new batch with wrong calculation and ended up double cannabis in butter amount. (57 gr buds in 250 butter) Idiotic mistake.
I had a tip of a knife on a piece of bread and got so dizzy I couldn't walk straight. Went to lay down and couldn't look anywhere, just stay in bed with closed eyes. After a few hours (11:00- 16:00) I went up and felt my blood pressure falling to 0. Wanting to vomit but it stopped.Hubby grabbed me and helped me to bed, on the way I fainted.
The next morning I was still high...

This actually relates to something I was going to ask - using my hemp CBD in between my cannabis oil. I mean - I've been assured over and over and OVER that the hemp CBD, in particular, reacts with NOTHING. This was assured to me many times by the manufacturer, by my vet, and by a second vet, because my dog is on several medications and has had a few procedures where she stayed on the hemp cbd the whole time. Theoretically, the cannabis reacts with nothing, either, right?
SO
I'm assuming it might be fine?
I ask because this cannabis actually makes me feel kind of extra alert but not anxious or panicky. What is ringing in my head is him telling me that I will feel what I need to feel in order to begin healing, and being alert while not panicking is probably exactly what I need. It is interesting, actually. I feel like I should start having symptoms of panic, but the panic isn't there. I'm guessing this is how I used to feel in the past - like a normal, functioning human. And it feels so WEIRD
. For the last several years, I am usually either in panic mode or brain dead mode. But, right now, I need more pain relief but cannot take more of the cannabis. The hemp made me feel very heavy and groggy and that sounds kind of nice right now. Man, am I hard to please.
I guess I had high hopes that I'd LOOOOVE the way I feel on this stuff. I know now it isn't that simple. And I am going to give this time and NOT give up, as is my MO when something doesn't feel perfect right away.
My practitioner is out of town all month - that's why we decided to do the phone consult so quickly, so I'm on my own with what I have until the new year.

I dont know anything myself about industrial hemp oil if thats what you mean.
What are your single dose amounts - ml THC / ml CBD. Also are you using indica based products? That will make you snoozier than sativa based products.
I'm not sure :\ He was supposed to email the facts to me, but it didn't come with the packet of stuff he'd sent. He told me when we were on the phone, but I cannot, for the life of me remember at all. Too much information and I assumed I'd get the info. During my posts on here, Sue thought it was sativa-based, so I think that makes sense. Not that this has prevented me from sleeping, but I don't take it right before bed - more around this time of the afternoon.

First off, you're not on your own. We won't let you be on your own Sara.
As you go on you'll build a tolerance to the THC. I'd assume that's what's challenging your system. Got a nice body hum going? I'm just interested. I've had one for hours now, and it's the most intriguing sensation. Something in your post made me suspect you're having a similar experience.
Also, eventually you and your caregiver will get the formulation and the protocol that works for you Sara. You can go ahead and expect that "normal" will indeed return. I know it can happen. I see no reason that your system should be so unique that it won't respond in the way it's evolved to and heal.
In the meantime, enjoy the relief. My daughter had anxiety from birth. We didn't realize it until her early 20's. She has no previous experience of the normal she now lives on her cannabinoid therapy. It's going to take her some time to adjust. She has to learn a whole new set of social skills.
She couldn't be happier that this is her challenge.

I wish I lived next door to you and we could sit and have tea and you can just make me feel better all day
. I suspect it might be something like this that makes me feel "jolted" "alert", etc - the hum you mention. But I'm not panicking, and that's what gives me hope. How long do you think I should give each formulation? Each bottle is expensive, so I'm hoping to try to get through it before moving on to the next one. We'll see.I'm so happy that you saw this through to help your daughter. And that she has fun new challenges
I suppose part of my grief is knowing what I've lost the last 8 years. Did she struggle with the feelings of the cannabis, too?I think part of my problem is that I hate feeling altered in most ways - the only thing I ever liked was Lorazepam. It's the only thing that felt "good" and gave me relief. I hate cold medicines, pain medicine, hate alcohol, even caffeine I'm extremely sensitive to (but I LOVE coffee, so I push my limits with decaf). Even most supplements make me feel strange and I don't like it. Maybe my expectation was that I'd get the same feeling I got on Lorazepam.
Thanks again for helping me through this

My daughter's so sensitive to meds that she was never able to adapt to any of the psyche drugs, thank goodness. She can't tolerate most pharmaceuticals. When I first tried to medicate her we used my brownies, which have always been made with high THC sativas. She had a panic attack in the middle of her third mild buzz (she took 1/4 of one of my half doses) and couldn't discern between reality and her dream state. The dream state was her in a psyche hospital.
It was most unpleasant. Cajun recommended we stay away from high THC as well as sativas in her instance. His recommendation was the CBD Critical Cure. One of the challenges he and my daughter share is PTSD, and he knew from personal experience that this strain would relieve her pain and her PTSD symptoms without risking the euphoria she now fears. Growing that plant turned out to be the best thing I have done. I can't tell you how frightened I was when we sat down that first time with the Med GOM 1.0, which I also grew for her to vape. The Critical is used for her capsule regimine.
It's trial and error Sara, and your assumption should always be that it'll all work out. The simple fact that you've made that choice to stick it out speaks most loudly that you're on your way to healing. I have no experience on adjusting to new formulations, but I wouldn't think it would take very long with each. You're in a strange situation with your caregiver right now, with him being away. I'm sure this is on his mind. It's his chosen profession to help others heal. Trust your instincts and work closely with him. We'll be here every step along the way to be your sounding board.

Poor thing
I understand - I couldn't use any of the drugs, either, except the single Lorazepam (which I think is valium? I'm not sure). That's it. 4 years of being put off and on anti-depressants, as well as drugs meant to treat hormonal problems were absolute hell. And some of them did nothing but make things worse.I'm going to make sure I keep this in mind. I have a feeling that this oil might have way more THCa than I thought.
I honestly think this sensitivity is part of the problem - why we end up with severe anxiety at all. And then we can't get relief from the things other people find joy in. It's not fair
I think I have two problems - one is that I'm just SO FAR away from anything worthwhile where I live. Getting to appointments, finding products, talking to people - and then not being comfortable getting there.. Two is that my partner is angry that I'm considering switching formulas and doesn't want me to waste what I paid for. He wants me to just stick with it.
The topical I received is even STRONGER than the oil. I put the slightest bit on my abdomen last night and it hit me so hard, so fast and I hated the way it made me feel. Hated it. I even waited about 8 hours after I last had to the oil to make sure I wasn't overloading.
As it is, I just do not like how I feel. It's an entirely different feeling from the hemp. I guess I'm having a frustrating day. I was so hopeful when I finally consulted and purchased, and after a bad night after the topical and then a day of feeling weird and crappy while also trying (unsuccessfully) to manage pain - I'm just not in a good place about it. i know I feel different every single day. That's how I am without medicine, so I can never be sure what is what. But that's kind of what I was hoping for in this - more of a steady state. And a good, steady feeling
Sometimes I can laugh about it, and sometimes I just want to kick and scream and cry.

im studying in here and then i come across this post , im medicated so yeah but it reminded me of something that would be on seinfeld , the haircut that screams susan part.Shiggity....
I actually squealed with delight to find you here. One more brilliant brain full of curious wonder. Your voice and spirit are welcome indeed. This is a potentially intimidating mountain we're climbing. I'm on my way to get a hair trim (for the first time in my life I'm working on finding the cut that screams "SUSAN!" - be thrilled for me guys) so I can't read that until later, but thank you for deciphering that. I got to it finally after midnight last night and it sent me to bed with my head a jumble of pieces looking for the proper order.
How sweet to wake up to your post.
great info in here thanks sweetsue

I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks these days. Also RA and other aches and pains. Seeking pain relief, I over medicated with both prescription drugs and Cannabis last year. I now am not taking 5 of the 7 prescribed medications I was on. I also cut back on Pot, but mainly because I don't have quick access to new varieties or mmj products living in a police state. I definitely think I am now sensitive to Sativas with high THC. Indica's or Indica dominant strains seems better for me. I think higher CBD would benefit me more and am planning on a grow soon of a balanced MMJ variety. The butter and oil I am currently using is a bit edgy for me and if I take enough for pain relief, sometimes the anxiety/panic starts to creep in on me. I have found it helps me to engage in busy activity or better to just take a walk with my dogs for 15-30 minutes , when I feel that coming on. I usually try and drink a lot of fluids (mostly water), eat a few bites of high protein/fat (like meat or peanut butter) and possibly a cup of Yogi brand bedtime tea, if it is possible to chill out for the night/day. I am doing so much better! My brother, who has very serious health issues, finds he needs his valium and his cannabis meds. Indeed, we all are different! You have my best wishes and prayers for you! Keep and open mind while evaluating your symptoms and remember to breathe deeply (walking helps this) and be moderate with all you do. prayer/meditation helps.

BTW! Don't stop getting at least annual medical screenings/check ups with Md.'s! They still catch a lot of bad things, like cancers and coronary obstructions and the like , that can save your life. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water, as they use to say! Any time you are having a life threatening issue or have serious symptoms a trip to the emergency room or to see your MD for intervention may be in order! Just use your common sense and live a healthier lifestyle, and cannabis , in some form or variety, may be an effective medication for some conditions.I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks these days.

Thank you so much. I'm happy to see that you're not dependent on so many medications now! Is it because of the pot? Or just feeling like it was too much?
You and Sue are making me feel more and more confident about what I need to find every day. It seems that Sativa and/or high THC (or THCa in my case) is just too much for some of us. My practitioner said that this specific formulation (whatever the heck it is) works for almost all of his anxiety patients. Apparently, I'm not in the "almost all" category, but, then again, my family and I joke all of the time that every single practitioner's favorite line to say to me is "I've never seen this happen before."
. Nothing about me is normal and never has been. Eventually, that's going to turn out to be a benefit, right? RIGHT? 
I'm going to write him an email now to detail how I've felt and what I think i want.
Would it be right of me to simply ask to start off with the highest CBD/lowest THCa he has and work from there? Or should I ALSO specific indica-dominant and high CBD? I'm assuming he won't do an exchange, so I'll have to decide if I want to continue with this one or wait.
I haven't taken a dose since midday yesterday. And I feel better and lighter. And since I'm taking the cannabis to feel better, well.... there ya go. Except, I will admit, I feel less giggly now, and that is something I was liking. So I was giggling my way through feelings of anxiety and marveling that it never turned into panic attacks while sitting in one place without the desire to get up and move while not being able to sleep or rest. So I had mixture of feeling better and feeling worse going on at the same time. Can I get any more contradictory? No wonder I can't make up my mind about it. At least my head is clearer right now to analyze it. And to analyze how difficult I am to please.
Absolutely! I haven't been in over a year now - a move and two changes to healthcare put me off. Oh yeah, and being SO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYTHING. But I'll get that worked out here eventually
I agree with you that we need to keep up with screenings and checks. I'm due.I actually decided I'd like to try cannabis after my last visit. My anxiety had been doing well, except for a pocket that month I made an appointment. So I asked for a refill for my 15 1/2 mg pills of lorazepam for the year. And I was treated like a criminal, a drug addict and made to feel horrible for not spending another 4 years destroying my mind and body with more anti-depressants first. They wouldn't give me any until they received all of my medical history from the previous decade. And it ended up being so extensive (they refused to believe I actually had tried) that they refused to read it. So, I haven't been brave enough to go back
Imagine what will happen when I tell them I'm on cannabis? Hahaha!- Thread starter

My primary care physican said he won't be prescribing cannabis. He didn't want to bring "that element" into his practice.
I used to see him much more when Dale was alive. Now we see each other once a year. Not much chance I'm going to get his ear for a bit of education. He's close to retirement.
Thanks for this, Sue. We know that you definitely understand all this medical-speak stuff but it's good to know you can translate it for those of us who aren't so up on the lingo.
A link to Dr. Ethan Russo's latest update on the ECS
Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency Reconsidered: Current Research Supports the Theory in Migraine, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel, and Other Treatment-Resistant Syndromes
Ethan B. Russo*
It amazes me how the brain adapts to the language. When I started this journey, every passage had to be torn apart and translated into understandable English. I just realized how far my own brain has come in being able to instantly digest this information. I've become comfortable with the language.
This is dangerous for me, because my chief objective here is to make this easier for all of you to understand. My charge to you, my fellow lab rats, is to call me on it if I start couching my answers in med speak.
I thank you all in advance for watching over my shoulder and keeping me accountable.
Once again, ask anything here. We'll do our best to answer.
Sue, you should come up with a 60-second guide to explaining to the non-cannabis user/believer the benefits of using cannabis for health like the 60-second guide the RA Guy uses to explain rheumatoid arthritis to those without it:
60-Second Guide To Rheumatoid Arthritis | Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy
60-Second Guide To Rheumatoid Arthritis | Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy
The choice to lose your cannabis shame and let your family know is very time negotiable. Pick that battle carefully. Learn a little about the ECS. I've found that explaining the existence of an entire system they probably aren't aware of that monitors ALL of the other systems and then explaining how you're really just bringing in reserve troops goes a long way towards diffusing resistance.
When my daughter has breakthrough or knows she's going into a situation that'll add stress she vapes three or four inhalations before leaving the house. This has kept her from having panic attacks for months now. She also hasn't had a migraine since beginning the therapy.
Maybe we could put together a diet book spouting the benefits of weight loss using sativas. 
Sara, I'm sorry you're having such difficulty finding the best balance of meds for your pain and anxiety. I'm still relatively new at this, too and I, too, wish I lived next door to Sue. She really is a truly remarkable and caring woman and I'm grateful for her friendship and teaching on here.
I also have anxiety but mine is more recent. I was off work last year for 3 months due to anxiety but it was only this year that I was prescribed MMJ for the anxiety and for pain relief as like Danolo's wife and Tim, I also have RA.
My husband grew Hash Plant Hash Plant Strain Information - Leafly to help me with pain and anxiety and I also had a bit of an overdose of it a couple of weekends ago when I ingested too much of the oil I made but Sue and the other people on this thread helped me through it.
I decided to get an MMJ licence when the Lorazepam that my primary physician prescribed to me didn't even touch my anxiety. Additionally, I've had a chronic cough for 20 months and the only thing that works for it is Tylenol with codeine so I didn't want to take ibuprofen for my pain. I've had a pre-ulcer before and it's not pleasant.
I asked my primary physician to prescribe MMJ for my anxiety and pain relief and he said he wasn't comfortable prescribing something he knew nothing about and that it hadn't been researched enough for him.
So, I found a doctor who would prescribe it. The strains that I've found the most helpful are CBD Medi-Haze MediHaze Strain Information - Leafly, which works great on pain. I vape a couple of hits and in less than a minute, I have no more pain. It's pretty cool that something I used to smoke to get high can be used as medicine now, IMO.
For the anxiety, I've found that Nordle Nordle Strain Information - Leafly helps the best. Additionally, it helps me sleep, which is great since I suffer from insomnia, too.
I vape the Nordle before situations that will cause me anxiety and it works very well.
But everyone is different and what works for me might not work for you. You just need to try. Don't give up. I'm sure there's a solution out there for you.
We're all rooting for you and for a solution. Keep us posted.
