Is Anyone Tried Using CBD Oil With Their Anti Epileptic Medications Ongoing? What Are Your Observations? Does It Helps? Any Side Effects?

There are times that I have to deal with anxiety, mood swings, insomnia and pain from my post temporal lobectomy that was done 8 months ago. Hope to hear your experienced with it. Thanks. 😊

I've just started a low dose of cbd and will be increasing it. Just check for drug interactions. It can lower the amount of lamical in your blood but increase the amount of clobazam. Not sure about other meds.

Given that in all studies its shown to have antioxidant and neuroprotective properties I'd say its definitely worth a go as the meds we take and the seizures we have all damage parts of our brains.

You tend to need a higher Mg for seizure control then with other conditions, at the moment my dose is low as I started it for anxiety not epilepsy but I think I will try and increase it and hope it helps with seizure control.

Hello id just like to say cbd oils changed my life and no chemical pills ever again. I have 2 types of seizures and it helps with both. Im trying to venture into the tic level now for pain and depression. Hope all is well for you

My CBD pills help a lot with anxiety. If I don't take them for a couple of days, I do notice the difference. No clue whether or not they help with the epilepsy/seizures per se.
