Are there any contraindications to taking CBD with escitalopram?

Hello, I have been taking escitalopram for 7 weeks...is there any contraindication if I combine it with CBD and if so should I take them separately (a few hours between the two) or together. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for the information and your patience!
I have not found any strict contraindications, but I have found some references that CBD may increase the effects of escitalopram. This may not be desirable as it can increase the side effects of the drug. Also be aware that CBD may increase drowsiness from your medication, if any
I don't usually recommend using it, but if you decide to do so, I suggest doing so at the lowest possible dose
If you notice any unusual side effects or symptoms, I recommend stopping it.
I hope that I have been helpful to you and I am available if you have any further questions
Sincerely,
