Warning CBD oil and blood thinners

I started taking CBD oil for my RLS recently. I did not do enough research regarding the side effects. The CBD oil worked great. I took it twice and got 2 nights of uninterrupted sleep.

On the morning of the third day I experienced a lot of pressure behind my eye. Within a minute I noticed that the white part of my eye was bright red.

At this point I finally did the research that I should have done before starting to take the CBD oil. Turns out that CBD oil does not mix well with blood thinners. I have been taking blood thinners for over a year for AFIB.

Please be careful. My experience could’ have been much worse.

Interesting to hear that. I have been on blood thinners since 2010 and have been taking cbd oil for the last month or so. I did notice my eyes have become very watery so I wonder is that because if cbd?

That is so interesting! I was just about to order some CBD oil as I have cancer and a neurological condition. CBD oil apparently helps both. I am on daily blood thinners. I will just say I joined this group because I had years of RLS until a professor in Neurology PRESCRIBED CLONAZAPAN about 6/7 years ago. I haven’t had RLS since that day. All the best
