Welcome to the MedBud Community @Daz8259. Sorry to hear about your health struggles and I'm sure there would be some good choices for these conditions. Your Consultant is your first person who should be able to guide you more on this but there will be people here who could guide you more. My Anxiety and Depression is not my main health issue but I find Indica Hybrids, the more leaning Indica the better but saying that a Sativa 60/40 leaning to be useful to me but that's me. The terpene with a high % of Myrcene usually works well for my Anxiety but that's me again. Hope you find something that works well for you soon mate

Welcome, strains like wedding cake, l.a. kush cake, lavender cake, really help me with this, Linalool is another good terpene for anxiety

Hi @Daz8259 I was meant to add some other Terpenes that go well with your health condition but was too unwell to come back with a better reply, just getting over covid or flu. These 4 main Terpenes will work well with you that's Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Limonene and Linalool as @Lank72 mentioned. Any strain that has an even balance of these terpenes should help you.

What is your preffered strain/flavour profile before medical? Think you should start by trying to find that on Medical and hopefully it'll do what you need it to do

Welcome @Daz8259 and one I'll add in one and that is Apricot Cream and Cheese as this help me with anxiety but is a Balanced strain so contains both CBD and THC with the only negatives it would keep me awake if had it late in the day and the price

Thanks m8 ill look i to them, ive ordered 10g of atomic sour grapefruit to try, have you had any experience with it, seems to be a good all rounder

Just to add to the pile - "Mixed Anxiety and Major Depressive Disorder"; I think know I'm an outlier in this, but I use High Silver Haze (w/Kush for nighttime).

I started my prescription journey in December 2022 after my Venlafaxine had failed @ 225mg and I was outright refused further help by the NHS without stopping "self-medicating". Finally - after this 9 year round of medication - I've not taken an S*RI in a full calendar month - almost four weeks. I could not have done that without Haze.

The reason I know I'm an outlier in this is many people seem to have Hazes spike anxiety, particularly when there's basically no CBD involved. But Hazes just seem to give a Conductor to the Orchestra in permanent tuning-up which is my head.

Im currently taking citalopram 40mg...mirtazapine 30mg...ampitripaline 10mg and still I'm not great, hoping I can get the right meds to get off them as the side effects are horrible

I've not tried it but from what I've seen others say about it it could well be ideal and good luck with reducing your meds as when you find a couple of strains that suit it will help massively I'd expect and the High Silver mentioned above helped me immensely in the past with mood and anxiety without the raciness that some Sativa Hybrids induce in me and may very much well be worth trialling.

Venlafaxine is my saviour/devil, up to 225mg modified release daily and i have been on Venlafaxine in some variation for over 20 years. Every time i feel well enough mentally to start thinking about reducing it, my spinal pain gets bad and i just can't cope with thinking about changing any meds. So far with MC, i have sorted out some of my pain issue, but not really my anxiety/depression yet. Onwards and upwards!

It took me almost three years of those 37.5mg steps from 225mg, and they weren't always downwards. Each step took reserves I'd forgotten I had, and I'm not going to pretend it was easy. A one-a-day Loratadine can help calm the zaps (up to a point).

My DMs on here are open, @Jester

I was hoping that my GP would allow me to try titration in the reduction period, but trying to find someone to actually do it is quite difficult. Apparently it is an every day thing in the USA as they use the same method for reducing a lot of drugs.

Yeah, I wasn't offered it either. Best I was offered was a daily (additional, unlicensed) 18.75mg "special" of immediate release to try and counteract the short halflife of the stuff as I moved off (which I refused). I discovered the Loratadine stopping the zaps quite by accident and used it to my full advantage from the 150mg point downwards
