I cannot be sure but have stopped CBD as I developed a terrible feeling of pressure in my upper stomach area which the GP decided was acid.Put on PPI which has settled it but came off and started again when I was taking CBD. Back on PPI. When this box ends I will see if still have the problem.

I looked up CBD and stomach problems were one of a number of side effects.

Hello greygoose

Can I ask if you use CBD oil?

If so, is it ok to use with Levothyroxine and Liothyronine?

Many thanks

Yes, I've been taking it for over a year, now. Wouldn't be without it!

As long as you keep it two hours away from thyroid hormone, there's no problem. :)

Thanks Grey Goose I do not take the cbd oil all the time as it is very expensive but yes i now take it well after the thyroxine. It really helps with the pain and trembling from Fybromialgia

I've been taking it for about 5 days now. I've noticed that I've been feeling a little nauseous but not badly and I've dropped a few pounds. I'm sleeping a little better but it hasnt done much for my joint pain as yet. Early days though. I guess the time you can tell most how beneficial it has been is if you stop it for a while. I've got 30 day supply so will check back later. 🙂

I have had no side affects but unfortunately no benefits either.

You need to take the right dose for you try taking a small amount then increase it till it helps. Sometimes you might need a stronger one not the ones from health food shops like Holland and Barrett/

I am thinking of starting CBD oil and I am also on synthroid. Did you notice any interactions when doing both?

No I did"nt Ashley I think taking the right dose of CBD oil works . I have pain and trembling and quite a high dose really works with no side effects. Would leave a few hours before taking it after you have taken Thyroxin. I am not a nurse or doctor so this is my view so please be careful.

You need to leave a 2 hour gap between thyroxine and the cbd

I tried cbd oil with Levothyroxine 50. In about 3 weeks I stared having horrible palpitations, anxiety. I think I went from hypo. To hyper. I’m going to go off the Levothyroxine for a month and start cbd again and see what happens
