CBD for Anxiety: Can it be used with Antidepressants?

But my mental health practitioner said recently I can't use it anymore due to taking antidepressants (Prozac, Busporine). What has been your experience using CBD oils to help calm down? Can you take it with antidepressants?

main reason a doctor would tell you not to use it is due to cbd affecting antidepressant metabolism in your body, so therefore the antidepressants don't work as well as they should. this doesn't mean you should definitely stop taking cbd, but take into consideration that it may affect the mirtazapine absorption in your body, and whether the benefits of using cbd outway the risks of the antidepressant not being absorbed as easily
