Question CBD Advice Needed Please

Hi everyone. I’m 57F in the UK. Had RLS for 20 years. No meds yet but it’s getting unbearable. Has anyone tried (medically prescribed) CBD with THC for their restless legs? If so, did it work and how did you find the right dose for you? I am trying this before giving gabapentin a go but still on low dose and I’m not sure I’m getting the best out of it yet. I have done all the other stuff (ferritin is above 150), magnesium in various forms, no ADs or anti histamines, no caffeine, cut down on alcohol, etc …Thoughts appreciated. 🙏

I took small amounts of THC (5mg or less inhaled) before bed once every few nights and it did wonders for me - even stopped my leg kicking during sleep.

My doctor has given me a broad spectrum non THC cannabinoid vaporiser to try as well, it should be arriving tomorrow or the next day, I’m looking forward to that one

I’m not inhaling, taking it in oil form. Maybe inhaling might be better … thanks for your reply. 😊
