Weaning off Effexor with CBD Oil

Any idea of the chemistry involved? I’m quite interested to understand that. I think Effexor alters, among other things, norepinephrine and dopamine but I’m not certain. I’m even less certain about the reasons for the harsh withdrawal symptoms biochemically. How the psychoactive agents in CBD oil bind or block receptors is quite important along with what happens if one stops CBD.

@shelleee, @renwald Good evening. I have no medical background and am not familiar with your withdrawal process. It appears that you have chosen to use CBD as a replacement. I am a worry wort and so I have to tell you that to my knowledge, CBD products at 100% have no psychoactive agents.

CBD products must have .03% or less of THC, the psychoactive component, an amount that may not "bind or block receptors".
There is a federal law prohibiting the products with THC greater than.03% from crossing state lines. I wish I could be of more help. I also do not think that stopping CBD creates withdrawal issues. Be free of suffering and sleep well tonight. Chris
