Title: CBD Drinks
Post by: emjane72 on October 30, 2025, 10:58:20 AM

Hi everyone

I have been drinking CBD drinks in the evening to calm my anxiety. However I'm starting to find that I wake up feeling more anxious in the mornings. I only have 2 cans of them as recommended.

Has anybody else experienced this with CBD drinks?

I am on antidepressants which were recently increased when menopause caused my anxiety to get worse. But I just thought I would try CBD products as they claim to have a calming effect.

Many thanks

It mayB that the drinks are over-riding or interfering with your prescribed medication.  Is your GP aware of other medications etc. that U use?


There mayB a lot of added sugars or alternatives to sugars, i.e. sweeteners ....... which can cause anxiety surges.

Thank you CLKD

I've just got into the habit of drinking them but I didn't have any last night and feel a lot better this morning. I did read that CBD products can make things worse if you already suffer with anxiety. And I am also on mediacation so maybe you're right that it may interfere.
