Question : CAN I TAKE LEXAPRO AND CBD OIL AT THE SAME TIME?

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

It is absolutely not safe to take Lexapro and CBD oil at the same time. This combination is known to cause psychosis and worsened depression and anxiety. I strongly recommend you not mix these two substances.
