Equilibria CBD Review: I Tried CBD for Anxiety, and Here’s What I Think

While most of us have heard people talk about CBD as a “trendy” new way to help relieve anxiety, stress, and irritability, there’s understandably a lot of confusion around the subject. How does CBD work?

Is it actually effective? Does CBD make you high? I had all of those same questions. So I decided to write a detailed Equilibria CBD review that covers everything you could possibly need to know.

The first time I’d ever heard about CBD was through a friend several years ago. We were out to dinner, and after a particularly stressful day at work, I began to unload on him about how spread thin I felt at my job, and how I constantly anxious I was because of it.

He told me to try CBD.

He’d been taking it for a few months and swore that it brought him so much relief, he actually ended up going off of the anti-anxiety meds he’d been on for years.

To be honest, when he mentioned CBD, I initially thought he was talking about medicinal marijuana (LOL.) I didn’t understand the difference. Once he explained that it was not, in fact, weed—and it did not make you high—I was kind of intrigued.

So the next day, I placed an order from the brand he recommended. It was EXPENSIVE (I think over $100) but I was so desperate, I would have paid anything just to feel less stressed.

The package arrived in the mail on a day when everything seemed to be going wrong—the perfect opportunity to give it a whirl.

It was an oil, and to be honest, tasted kind of gross and mushroom-y, but I put it under my tongue as the instructions said.

An hour later, I was running to an appointment in the middle of a torrential downpour with a broken umbrella, and the strangest thing happened.

All of a sudden, the stress and the anxiety that had been weighing on me throughout the day…lifted.

Just think about that for a second: I WAS RUNNING AROUND WITH A BROKEN UMBRELLA DURING A RAINSTORM AFTER A BAD DAY…AND I WAS TOTALLY UNBOTHERED.

It was really, really strange. The guy who had initially told me about CBD described it perfectly: he said it’s like going from having this weighted feeling on your shoulders to feeling instantly lighter—almost like taking a HUGE deep breath.

Of course, after that, I became a believer. The brand of CBD I really liked ended up going out of business (which I was pissed about!) so I spent the next few years trying different brands, none of which compared.

And then… enter Equilibria. I had seen SO MANY influencers post about it on Instagram and I was curious but skeptical.

Even though, yes—I am technically one of those influencers—I still feel a certain level of skepticism when I see EVERYONE talking about the same product at the same time.

So I did what I always do in those circumstances: I tried it.

Equilibria CBD Review: My Experience

I’ll be totally candid with you, because this post isn’t sponsored, and I can say whatever I want 🙂 I had the opportunity to work with the brand about a year ago, but I turned it down because I hadn’t spent enough time testing the product.

If I was going to jump on board the bandwagon that so many people were already on, I needed to know with absolute certainty that it was good.

So I ordered a bunch of the products (I got the Brilliance Box so I could sample everything).

I set up a call with one of their dosage specialists so I would know how much to take, and then I started using the daily drops, the soft gels, and the relief cream regularly. (More details on each of the products below!)

It didn’t take long for me to realize that all the influencers I’d followed who posted about it were completely right. I was SHOOK over how well all of the products worked for me.

I shared a bit about them organically on my stories and heard from a bunch people who were also fans.

After a few months of testing, I asked my manager to see if Equilibria would still be open to working with me on some sponsored Instagram stories and an Equilibria promo code for my followers, and luckily they were.

This is my dream partnership scenario, FYI. Try a brand, fall in love with it, ask them to partner, they agree. I feel like it rarely works out this perfectly, so when it does, it’s very fulfilling.

So now…let’s get into my review of Equilibria CBD.

Equilibria CBD Side Effects

I go into a lot of detail about this in my “Frequently Asked Questions about CBD” blog post, but the short answer is: the most common side effects reported are drowsiness, nausea or headaches.

Most people who experience these side effects find that they go away on their own.

FAQ’s About Equilibria CBD

How Do I Know my Equilibria Dosage?

According to Equilibria, everyone’s body chemistry is different, so it can take time and experimentation to find the best dose and regimen.

They have dosage specialists available to help you figure out the correct dosage that works best for you!

Does CBD Taste Bad?

Yes and no. The truth is that the unflavored drops definitely taste…earthy. I don’t love it, which is why I much prefer the mint version.

What is CBD?

For the uninitiated, CBD is short for cannabidiol. It is a naturally-occurring compound found in the Cannabis Sativa plant.

So you suddenly hear cannabis and you think… 

Will CBD Get You High?

The answer is no, and here’s an oversimplified explanation why:

It’s almost like assuming you’d get drunk by drinking a mocktail. A mocktail has a lot of the same components as a cocktail, but the one main component responsible for getting you drunk—alcohol—is absent. Which is why you don’t get drunk (no matter how many mocktails you drink 😊)

Same goes for CBD. While it might appear to be in the same category as marijuana on the surface level, the difference is that marijuana contains up to 30% THC content  (THC = what causes the “high”) and high-end CBD brands like Equilibria contain less than .3% of THC… aka no “high” feeling.

If you’re tryna get high, CBD probably isn’t the thing for you.

Which CBD brand is best?

I can tell you from personal experience and after trying dozens of brands—gummy bears, test tubes, oils, creams, etc—I’m 100% certain that Equilibria works the best for me personally.

[Reminder: you can use the discount code LINDSAYSILBERMAN for 15% off Equilibria.]

Now keep in mind—everyone is different—but I will also say that everyone I’ve recommended it to has since messaged me to tell me that they’ve ordered and re-ordered, which is obviously indicative of something.

Another selling point about Equilibria is that I think of it as personalized CBD. The first time you order (and pretty much anytime thereafter if you have a subscription) you have access to their dosage specialists.

You can book an appointment on their website and hop on the phone with a consultant who will walk you through exactly the right dosage and products for you based on your personal needs. Since CBD isn’t really a one-size-fits-all type of product, I really appreciate the personalization factor.

Oh and one added bonus for me about Equilibria: the brand was founded by women.

Final Verdict:

I think you can pretty much surmise that I’m a big fan. Whether you’re thinking about trying CBD for sleep, for anxiety, for menstrual cramps, or even for mosquito bites (!) I would definitely recommend Equilibria.

To me, it not only feels like the most effective choice, it also feels like the safest choice. There are a lot of shady brands in the CBD industry, and it’s nice knowing that Equilibria isn’t one of them.
