Hey folks,

I've been a longtime lurker of this forum but wanted to finally create a profile to offer my perspective, help, and ask a few questions.

I know this particular question about how effective and safe CBD oil is has been asked a number of times in the past, but I wanted to submit my own post to get the clearest picture possible given my background. My derealization has eased over the years, but I currently experience it as a primary symptom of anxiety experienced in a panic attack. In other words, it's less "all-pervading" than it was in recent years, which is why I call it a primary symptom. As an example, when I get anxious, I start to feel "less here," which as we know, is very very scary.

I'm currently on just Lexapro (20 mg), and have recently weaned off of Klonopin (.5 mg). I wanted to know if anyone is on a similar/identical regimen and takes CBD oil to relieve symptoms, and I'd love to hear about anyone's experience with CBD oil thus far.

I take cbd with a tincture and it usually relaxes me for a good 5/6 hours, but if you wanted something fast acting like a xanax you would have to go for a cbd vape. also youre not supposed to take cbd oil along side those drugs, i forgot what happens but it interacts negatively with them and could slow your heart rate too much. also cbd is really unlike any sorta anxiety med so you wont feel the difference right away, i just get less anxious and notice a huge decrease in overall anxiety without any funky side effects.

Wow, that's great. I'm glad to hear that it's working for you. Are you taking it under the supervision of your doctor? I don't know who to speak to since my doctor said it's out of her scope. I'd want to avoid taking it until I know for sure I can with my other meds.
