You may have already tried CBD and not felt very well afterwards, so you may be wondering if this molecule can also have undesirable effects, such as dizziness or nausea. La Mama tells you the truth, straight up, so you know what to expect.
Things to remember
- CBD can cause some side effects such as dizziness or nausea, especially if the dose is too high.
- Product quality and individual sensitivity are extremely important.
- If symptoms persist, it is essential to seek medical advice.
CBD and its known effects
First, my dear, let's set the record straight. You probably already know this if you're reading this, but  CBDis a molecule found in hemp. It is extracted from the plant, but unlike THC, it is not psychotropic. In other words, CBD does not get you "high."
So why are we so interested in it? Because it could havewellness benefits. I say "could" because science is advancing slowly and has not yet confirmed all these promises, but some consumers say they feel more relaxed, sleep better, experience relief from certain pains, or feel calmer.
You see, CBD is attractive because of its potential benefits, but we mustn't forget that it is an active molecule... And an active molecule also means a risk of side effects,so thereare some dangers associated with consuming CBD.
What are the possible side effects?
So, can CBD really make you feel dizzy or give you stomach cramps? The answer is yes, it can happen, but be careful, not to everyone and not in any way.
Dizziness may occur if you take too high a dose. Your body may react with a slight drop in blood pressure. Dizziness may also occur if you are particularly sensitive to CBD.
Nausea sometimes occurs after taking an excessive dose, with a poor-quality product, or in the event of drug interactions.
In most cases, these effects are mild and temporary, but if they recur regularly, you should consult a doctor.
How can risks be limited?
Mama has a few simple tips to help you enjoy CBD without any unpleasant side effects:
- Always choose high-quality products that have been tested in a laboratory.
- Start with a small dose and gradually increase it;
- Listen to your body: if you experience any adverse effects, adjust the amount;
- Avoid risky combinations if you are already taking medication.
- Consume after a light meal to better tolerate CBD;
- Don't drive if you feel dizzy (safety first!).
Mama's word on drug interactions
I would like to emphasize a crucial point, my dear: CBD is metabolized by the liver via the same enzymes as certain medications. It can thereforealter the effectiveness of these treatments or accentuate their side effects. This applies, for example, to certain antidepressants, anticoagulants, and epilepsy treatments.
In this case, dizziness or nausea may occur more easily. Therefore, if you are undergoing medical treatment, always talk to your doctor before consuming CBD.
CBD is attractive for its potential wellness benefits, but it can also cause some unpleasant side effects such as dizziness or nausea. These reactions depend on the dosage, the quality of the product, and individual sensitivity. Fortunately, by choosing your CBD carefully and paying attention to your body,you can limit these risks.
