Hi there, @lindeyt01, I just read about your wish to use CBD to help prevent withdrawal symptoms. I see that you asked for some feedback for those who have done this type of withdrawal and Ginger is just the perfect mentor to help you.

Just one year ago, my PCP and I decided together that I should withdraw from Nortriptyline and replace it with an extra dose of CBD. I use a 2:1 CBD/THC for all of my pain management from Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN). The withdrawal and replacement with medical cannabis worked but not without some really tough days fighting constipation. So be patient, Evaluate your progress with your clinician. Check-in with @gingerw as you move through the process. At this point, I think I am done with anti-depressants. However, when my neurologist prescribed Nortriptyline it was a lifesaver in many ways,

May you be safe and protected from inner and outer harm,
Chris
