Ropinirole plus CBD

Post by pamelap »

Good afternoon! I am currently taking a small dose of Ropinirole, 0.125 mg. This controls my RLS symptoms most of the time; however, I often experience difficulty sleeping, even when my restless legs are not acting up. Many sleep aids are contraindicated, but I have found that CBD makes me drowsy. Are there contraindications to my using CBD at the same time that I am using Ropinirole? Thank you!

There is very little medical research when it comes to the use of any marijuana based (or hemp) product. However, quite a few of us use THC gummies to help with our sleep. My doctors are all aware of how and why I use THC in combination with several other meds for my THC (methadone, gabapentin and pramipexole). So I wouldn't be too concerned about combining CBD with such a low dose of ropinerole.
