Question : I am 67 years old, male, good health. 4 days ago, I took 10 drops of CBD oil sublingually, to see if it would help my interstitial cystitis pain. It seemed to help so the next day, I took it at night and I slept much better. About 12 hours after I took it, I started experiencing light feeling of numbness around my mouth and lips, similar to coming out of dental novacaine. I stopped using it, and it has gotten less numb but almost 48 hrs now, still have a liitle bit of the feeling. Do you think this is related to the CBD oil or not and should I never use it again. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Side effects related to use of the oil

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

I can certainly understand your concern.

These symptoms are quite certainly related to CBD oil side effects.

Symptoms will gradually disappear once discontinued. Nothing to worry.

Please don't reuse the oil.

Post your further questions if any.
Thank you
