A member asked:

I take levothyroxine and have recently gone through seratonin syndrome because of an overlap in antidepressants. i have discontinued antidepressants. i can find no doctor to tell me why i cannot use cbd oil without thc. please help mary?

What do you expect CBD to do for you? It is not approved to treat any disease. It would preferable to consult your doctor about using a different antidepressant. Regular exercise will help in improving your mood and outlook.
