Is there a risk of interaction between CBD oil and Zopiclone?

I take zopiclone every night at bedtime and have heard about the benefits of CBD oil for anxiety. So I would like to try it.

Hello Ma'am, it is indeed always safer to check for interactions with your medications. You did the right thing!"
First of all, there are still very few studies on the efficacy, safety and even interactions with cannabinoids. The data on the use of cannabinoids specifically for anxiety symptoms is still too limited to recommend their use, especially considering the many side effects, such as the risk of addiction, the effects on brain development up to the age of 25, the risk of hallucinations, and etc. One thing is certain, CBD oil and zopiclone have an impact on decreasing respiratory function and cognitive abilities, such as alertness. These are important side effects that we try to avoid for your safety. Moreover, the only cannabinoids that should be safely recommended for medical use are those sold in pharmacies via a medical prescription.
To conclude, as you seem to have anxiety for a while now, I suggest you consult your doctor to obtain a prescription appropriate to your condition. The medications found on the shelves in pharmacies are not very effective for this type of problem, but there are indeed effective treatments for anxiety that can improve your quality of life.
I hope I have answered your question,
