Question about CBD and Gabapentin

[restnot]

I am wondering if you can take CBD oil orally and Gabapentin at the same time? I am having trouble figuring out my schedule. I take 300 of Gabapentin around 8:30, then 600 around 11:30 so I can try to get in bed around12 or 12:30 PM. How could I incorporate CBD in here? Thank you in advance. PS I have read CBD can help with sleep and RLS. Has anyone had good luck with CBC oil?

hi, I've not had any luck with cbd but do have success with thc in cannabutter edibles. I have severe rl and the cannabutter with thc helps me to sleep as well as soothing the rl. The only problem is I need to take breaks when I develop tolerance about 10 Days off after about a month or two on. All the best working out what suits you.

I use Delta 8 tincture, which is THC and CBD. It's legal here and I can get it at the corner store. It takes about an hour to work and wears off in 5 or 6 hours. I don't know if it's soothing the RLS or I'm just sleeping through it, but it really helps. Tolerance will develop. Like Rayme, I also take a week or 10 days off after two or three months, or whenever it becomes less effective. I suppose it's not without risk, but so is not sleeping.

It's not the same as marijuana and it's legal in states where marijuana is not. Check your state laws--they're changing rapidly.

I forgot to add that I also take gabapentin, and the combination sometimes makes me a little dizzy, but the effect is worn off by morning.

You can take both together and CBD oil shouldn't stop absorption of gabapentin. I didn't find CBD oil of any help but we all respond differently. I do find that medical cannabis oil with above 15 or 20 % THC helps with sleep and sends me into a deep sleep for a few hours. When my RLS was not fully controlled, I used it every night with Oxycontin and pregabalin. I haven't needed it since switching to Buprenorphine.
