Question: I have type 2 diabetes, collagenous colitis, autoimmune hepatitis, neuropathy, and autunomic dysfunction. On meds for all. Plus some other problems. Want to know if it is safe to try thr cbd oil for depression and chronic pain. Thanks
Brief Answer:
CBD is safe and may help you for depression and chronic pain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Cannabidiol (CBD) oil from cannabis plant is considered safe and non-addictive. It is widely used to treat pain, anxiety and inflammatory conditions. CBD also has antioxidant and neuroprotective effects which may help with autonomic dysfunction. Recent researches show CBD oil may provide some benefits to type II diabetes or collagenous colitis.
Initial doses may cause low blood pressure, dry mouse, sedation or ataxia.
CBT has a low potential interaction with celexa or cymbalta. But it may increase serum concentrations of certain medications. If you are taking blood pressure medications (beta blockers, calcium channel blockers), benzodiazepines (clonazepan, alprazolam), antihistamines, haloperidol or statin (atorvastatin , simvastatin) medications CBD may increase side effects from these medications. If you are on any of these medications you should consult with your doctor about the medications dose adjustments.
Overall, CBD is tolerated very well and usually does not cause serious side effects. It may help you for depression and chronic pain. Also note, CBD oil is not legal in few states.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you
