View allI'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'm feeling really worried because I usually get panic attacks and my cardiologist had me go through ECG, echo, TMT, and X-ray, and everything came back normal. But yesterday, I had another panic attack, went to the GP, did an ECG, and was having shortness of breath. The GP said it's just an anxiety attack, but I'm still scared something might be wrong. Could you take a look at my ECG and let me know if everything is truly okay?
I don't have access to any attached files. However, based on your description and the tests you have already undergone, it seems like your symptoms are related to anxiety attacks. To manage your anxiety symptoms, you can try taking Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5mg as needed when you feel a panic attack coming on. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also help in reducing the frequency and intensity of your panic attacks.
