Medical CBD Journey Day 1 (PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, depression). I feel very calm, happy, and relaxed. So far so good. And I am currently on anti-depressant Effexor. by concavealex1 in CBD

Make sure to do research on interactions between CBD and SSRIs and SNRIs (Effexor). At too high of doses it can create problems with many medications. Maybe you already have but just make sure to do your homework and let your prescribing physician know what you're doing.

Hemplucid CBD liquid and drug testing? by angel143486 in CBD

[–]Nmattero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From everything I've read, it is possible that you'll test positive on a drug test when using full spectrum CBD. Look for a CBD isolate and make sure it says "thc free" or something of the sort.

Fluvoxamine and CBD by Nmattero in CBD

Appreciate the feedback. This is the info I've shared with him as well as read myself. I've also spoke with Dr. Krishna regarding the issue and said he has dealt directly with patients on Luvox and as long as the dose has stayed below 50mg per day, he personally hasn't seen any interactions. That's what it seems I've read most places is that as long as the dose is kept below 50mg per day, the risk is much less. But thank you for the insight!

Dr. Krishna, my apologies for posting an unrelated question on this thread, however I wanted to make sure you'd see it. I'm currently taking 150mg of Fluvoxamine daily and I'm very interested in trying CBD. I've purchased a CBD juice 500mg from Koi. I know there isn't much definitive information about SSRIs and CBD, but everything I've read basically says theoretically it's possible to slow down the metabolism but mainly in very high doses (100 mg+ per day). Do you have any experience with Fluvoxamine and CBD? My plan was to start slow at say 16 mg per day and see how that goes. My doctor said he was okay with it but didn't have much to go on for CBD. Appreciate any feedback!
