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.

Can anxiety cause a dry mouth?

Yes. During an anxiety attack, you are more likely to breathe through your mouth. All of that air passing through your oral cavity can dry up your saliva.
