Hi, I am on 100mg per day of sertraline and wanted to try CBD oil. Has anyone tried it before? Does it interact with sertraline? Thoughts and feedback very welcome smile

    Hi Jane

    I've been taking cbd oil for around 2 months now to help with tapering gabapentin, I also take sertraline and haven't found any interaction.  The golden rule is to leave two hours between taking meds and taking cbd oil to give your liver chance to process the meds properly.  I found it helped me enormously with my gabapentin taper, along with omega 3-6-9 and a good multivitamin supplement.  I don't know if you're on social media but there is a uk group on there that can probably point you in the right direction.

      Hi Susan

      Thanks for your reply. Did you get any side effects from it?

      If you could point me in the direction of the group that would be great, 

      Thank you

      Hi Jane,

      It took a couple of goes to find the one that suited me best but no, I didn't get any adverse reactions at all, I found I started to sleep better which is a big issue for me (lifelong insomniac).   I tend to look at it as a super vitamin that works in sync with your system . . . smoothing out a lot of the bumps along the way.   

      The group is called CBD Users - United!    It's on FB.

      Hi Susan,

      Could I just ask when you take the sertraline and when the CBD oil in terms of times of day? I was having issues with sleeping anyway (also bit of a lifelong insomniac!) before starting the sertraline and it’s starting to settle down but when I have a bad night the next day is terrible. Rather than increasing the sertraline i’m thinking of combining it with CBD oil as I get really bad side effects from the sertraline initially. If I can get the good sleep a bit more I think that will make such a difference. I take the sertraline in the morning and it has helped with dropping off to sleep but varies as to when I wake depending on whether I feel stressed by something ??

    I’ve also been thinking about combining CBD oil and my sertaline as a friend has strongly recommended it for my sleeping and forgetfulness. Thanks for posting!
