Q: A 37 y/o woman, CEO of a tech startup, reports emotional stress, increasing anxiety, poor appetite and 
sleepless nights for months. She worries if her company will make it and what she’ll do if it fails. What might you recommend to help alleviate some of her psychological stress? Do you agree with your peers? Please leave a comment.
a) Ashwaganda 300 mg by mouth 1-2 times daily
b) Serenagen 2 tablets by mouth daily
c) Cannabis 2-5 mg inhaled daily as needed
d) Running for 60 minutes three times per week
(Answer Below)
SharePractice is a collaborative medical reference used by doctors to rate and review the effectiveness of drugs, herbs and supplements. Share Practice crowdsources real-time opinions from a global medical community, which allows doctors to get second opinions from colleagues for any diagnosis. It’s only available to licensed physicians.
If this woman is that stressed, running herself into the ground several hours a week will not help. Ashwagandha and Serenagen are at least going to give her some adrenal support and calm her respectively. Smoking cannabis is not going to help her recover though the distraction may be welcome…
Thank you for your comment. I have heard from other medical professionals who agree with your opinions on cannabis for stress (short term solution with possible negative outcomes). Do need more of that in medicine?
