Members shared mixed experiences with CBD oil for managing symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and pain, with one member's friend sleeping for two days after taking four drops, while another found it ineffective for insomnia and others reported success. Several members mentioned melatonin (either over-the-counter or prescription forms like Circadin) as a safer, effective alternative for sleep issues, particularly for those managing fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue. A recurring theme was the challenge of finding affordable, accessible solutions, with concerns about medication costs, medical aid coverage, and skepticism from some doctors about alternative treatments.
