There was a massive case here over the last few years actually to do with a little girl who was maybe 6 at the time, she had a very severe type of epilepsy called Dravets Syndrome, which causes multiple seizures every day. She was on masses of medication for it which her mother wasn't happy about. She ended up going the the Netherlands to get CBD (it was illegal here at the time) and it was crazy how effective it was for her, she's off all other medication now and you are allowed access to it here now with state permission I believe (that was mainly down to this girls mother's endless campaigning)

It seems like is particularly effective on neurological disorders like epilepsy indeed. There are so many cases like those and it's encouraging, but also says a lot about mass medication and how medication is used.
I think it should be used in moderation, just like any medication, also.

Smithy, maybe you can take your drops on a biscuit or on a piece of sugar, if that helps with the taste?

Absolutely but this girl couldn't even function her seizures were so bad, she was having up 16 seizures in the space of 36 hours

Not yet, but I’m back and forth between Lancaster and Manchester for work so I’m still getting my meds from my GP in Lancaster

I’ve got meds for the anxiety but some people said it might help moreso with the physical side effects my anxiety causes? I thought I’d give it a go and see how it went

Yeah this is what I was wondering, basically if I can take it on food/in a drink and see if it would have the same effect
