Question 1

Ive been on Lexapro for a while to manage panic disorder and GAD, and its been working well for my panic attacks. But Im thinking about trying some CBD oil to help with stress and lack of focus after work. My local vape shop sells 100% CBD oil (no THC), and Im considering adding it to my vape juice. Do you think its safe to mix CBD oil with Lexapro?

Accepted Answer

While 100% CBD oil (no THC) is generally considered safe, it's recommended to consult your neurophysician before mixing CBD oil with Lexapro, as CBD can interact with the liver enzyme CYP3A4, potentially affecting Lexapro's metabolism and efficacy, and individual reactions may vary.

Hi Doctor, I've been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, especially when something sudden happens like a phone ringing. My doctor prescribed Mitocent 30 mg, an antidepressant. I'm worried about whether this medicine might have any long-term side ...

Accepted Answer

Mitocent (30mg) is an antidepressant commonly prescribed for anxiety, and while it can be effective in managing symptoms, long-term use may have potential side effects like weight gain or changes in sleep patterns. It's important to follow your doctor's guidance on the duration, and alongside medication, practicing relaxation techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can significantly help in managing anxiety and panic attacks.
