Thanks icelander for sharing your experience with the CBD oil (and for being willing to try something different from orthodox meds).

I'm interested in finding analgesic alternative's as many conventional painkillers I either react badly to or I'm restricted from use due to interactions with my other meds. Basically at the moment all I can take is paracetamol

I did a search for CBD oil interactions with hydrocortisone (one of my main meds) and came across these articles which I thought might be of interest to others following this thread:

Just out of curiosity are you expecting any flare-up as a result of reducing/stopping the gabapentin?

Look forward to reading about your progress.
