I've been on Lexapro for my panic disorder and GAD, and it's really helped with the panic. But lately, by the end of the workday, I'm feeling stressed and having trouble focusing. I'm thinking about trying some CBD oil to help with that. My local vape shop has this CBD oil that's 100% CBD with no THC, and it comes in different concentrations. I'm considering adding a bit to my vape juice. Do you think it's okay to mix CBD oil with Lexapro?

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.

I've been feeling short of breath sometimes, and my doctor said it's due to anxiety. He put me on Doxolin tablets, which I take twice a day. I'm curious if taking Doxolin is really necessary or beneficial since the breathlessness is because of anxiety, and not an actual respiratory issue. Is it common to use Doxolin in cases like this? Could it have any side effects I should be aware of?
Doxolin, likely a variant of Doxepin, is an antidepressant and anxiolytic, which can help alleviate anxiety-related shortness of breath; taking Doxolin tablets as prescribed by your doctor should help manage your anxiety symptoms, including shortness of breath, without significant side effects, but monitor your breathing, mood, and overall well-being
