Difficulty Sleeping - Do CBD Gummies work?

User

I am having difficulty sleeping, often awake on/off during night and awake 1.5-2.0 hours every night.  I asked my consultant whether I could take product by a company called FourFive! called CBD Go Gummies for help with sleeping, as they had been recommended by a friend with prostate cancer, and whether these would interact with my current medication.  Also asked about taking Lion’s Main Mushroom tablets (from same company) for increased cognitive function and help with fatigue.  My Consultant said he could not say whether I should or should not take them as there was no documented evidence of the efficacy (i.e. whether they work) or of the interactions with my medication, or whether it reduces the efficacy of my current medication.  

I was wondering whether anyone on the forum had taken these or similar CBD products to help with sleep.  I appreciate we are all different and the the effect on each person will be different.

I am living with stage 4 prostate cancer and being treated with ongoing hormone therapies - taking Deralutamide 600g twice daily and Decapeptyl injections every six months.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I look forward to reading any responses.

I too am considering CBD gummies so will follow your post .

I am a retired Pharmacist and can not find any evidence either way .

If at endstage I would consider real weed but would not endose doing so or encourage others to do so .

A problem with gummies is you really are unsure the strength of what you are buying and the price .

Best wishes

I was having difficulty with sleeping and fatigue and I was recommended magnesium glycerinate 3-in-1 by nutrition geeks. Within less than 2 weeks, everything was back to normal. It was a complete game changer for me. I know everything doesn't work for everyone, but this has made a huge difference to me.

Wishing you all the best.
