Summary
A 26-year-old man fell ill in mid-April 2022 after COVID, having had adverse reactions to the vaccine. He had anxiety, depression, poor focus and memory, vomiting, trouble eating, a constant cough and insomnia, and was still working with difficulty. He recently started Wellbutrin and about 1000 mg of THC-free CBD isolate daily, which he said helped a tremendous amount, plus exercise, sunshine and red light.
