Hi, @suzannetherese - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds hard to be trying to function while having the nausea with flu like symptoms, aching all over, sleep interruptions, tiredness and dry mouth.

Here are a few items that may be useful for you:

- Mayo Clinic information on CBD https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-is-cbd-safe-to-use/ and https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cbd-products-hemp-oil-may-be-helpful-but-more-research-is-needed-mayo-clinic-review-says/

I'd suggest talking with your doctor before using CBD. You might also check with a pharmacist. Has your doctor given you a schedule for your taper?
