I have had a bout of obsessive (self-physical worry) anxiety and panic the last week or so. Causing sleep deprivation, and fear of sleep. Ambien is the only thing that lets me sleep when I'm in this state.
I started taking CBD oil, and took way too much of it on the first dose (30mg), at night with an entire Ambien. I slept OK that night and worked the next day, still with a decent amount of anxiety. I had read that it's better to take 5 drops 2x/day. So I did that the following day, along with an entire Ambien. Slept really well (about 7hrs), but had to get up early for work. I probably could have stayed asleep for hours, but duty called. Initially at work (making deliveries) I was nice and relaxed with NO anxiety. It literally disappeared overnight, and went from being wired from trying to stop worrying about worrying, to trying to stay awake. I noticed i had a constant urge to keep closing my eyes, almost narcoleptically so. I was also mentally slow and kind of even slurring speech a bit, forgetting things. It's like I'm trying to doze off while being awake. It's got me worked up now in a different way, as if something is wrong with me.
I read that CBD can have an effect on the uptake of certain pharmaceutical drugs. Is Ambien one of them, and how would it, or sleeping aids/narcotics in general be affected? That's kind of how i feel... drugged, but over an entire day??? Could this also be some kind of healing reaction to the CBD? I'm still feeling this way.
Would CBD alone cause these feelings?
Should I stop taking the Ambien, or the CBD?
Any thoughts or interpretations would be appreciated.
