Is Cannabidiol Oil Along With Escitalopram Advisable For Depression?

I have been taking 20mg of escitalopram for a number of years for depression and some OCD issues. I have recently been told about CBD oil by my sister in law and although the oil is 100% natural I am wondering if it is ok to take the CBD while still taking the escitalopram
