antihistamine and xanax

HELLO THERE!I HAVE PANIC DISORDER ON AND OFF FOR 5YEARS NOW.I TKE XANAX .25MG. AS NEEDED.I JUST WANNA ASK IF I CAN TAKE IT WITH OVER THE COUNTER DRUGS?LIKE HEADACHE OR FEVER MEDICINES OR CINNARIZINE?

until recently I was put on strong meds the same as I had post op, but this time I was instructed to use an antihistamine along with it, I have bit types a non drowsy formula and one that will make u drowsy I first took the reg one that makes u drowsy at bedtime and I slept well, so I continue to take it b4 bed and it helps me, plus it also helps with my PND issue...so a 2fer.

I have been trying to come off xanax for 2 month. i was taking 2 xanax at bedtime to sleep. im now down to only taking 1/4 per night, and im having problems sleeping at night, the last 4 night i havent got maybe 2 hr of sleep.

Please consult your perscribing physcian for a taper schedule from the Xanax. It is one of the most difficult benzos to get off and you need to be under the supervision of your doctor. Xanax has a half-life of 12-15 hours, so every 12-15 hours, 1/2 of your current dose will be out of your system. Continue that equation until all the Xanax has left your body. Your doctor can very quickly tell you if there is any contraindications in combining Xanax and L-trytophan.

I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it

What kind were you taking?

Its a catch 22 for me bc when im tired I get anxious and now im both and dont want to take any more than the .125mg of xanax I took earlier bc I will be a zombie at work. And sipping on coffee. Does anyone know how long does a antihistamine like zertec stay in your system?

I have horrible migraines, And i have probably had every med presribed for them in the last 20 yrs, and xanax was never one of them....Do you suffer from anxiety?? my sister is very allergic to cig, smoke also.( along with perfumes, pollens etc) she takes allergy shots every week, or a antihistamine....Do you have allergies to anything else?? i would get a new doctor, and Wean off the xanax ASAP...

I recently was on MS Contin (long acting morphine) and my PCP allowed me to take Valium at HS with the MS Contin. Obviously Valium and Xanax are similar. She had me take it first in the day time a few times when my husband was home to see how it would affect me. I did not have a problem with the two medications. So I think it is a probability that you can take them together but keep in mind that they both depress the respiratory system.

Great post and thanks for the advice, i hope people will read this carefully.

Tonight I was cleaning out my med bag to ensure no more norco was lurking in there. I recall purging all the Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin, Clonadine, Valium, and oxycontin last time I went ct. To my delight, I found that I clung on to one bottle of hydroxyxine. I immediately thought "score", I'm sleeping tonight. I just can't remember if I had any drowsiness the next day or not after taking them. They were rx'd after my last major surgery so I could sleep.

Xanax (alprazolam) is highly addictive. Please, don't abuse it or you'll end up in the benzo hell like I have...

i been on klonpin for 13 yrs..and on xanax now..just the xanax alone..its ok but dont make you tired..it will for awile but if ur on avians and taking a sleep aid you should do ok..TRY TO GET THOSE VISTREL,S HAS I STARED WITH YOU...THEY WORK GOOD.........POST ANYTIME...GOOD LUCK TOO YOU..

I also do have xanax but only a .25 dose of that and was given 2 prescriptions one from each doctor and was only given like maybe 20 pills. I have about 5 left because I did not take them regularly and probably have some more downstairs from my mom. which would be better to take? and is a .25 dosage of xanax safe? its a small dosage isn't it?

Tylenol has two active ingredients, acetaminaphen and pseudoaphedrine, along with an antihistamine. The acetaminaphen is not addictive, and pseudoephedrine by itself is not considered addictive either- and antihistimines are not physically addictive, contrary to what some allergy sufferers may believe. Ambien, on the other hand, definitely poses a risk for addiction.

My allergist told me to try Claritin tabs instead of gel caps but I took one after having my allergy shot and I broke out in hives again. Now all the pollen is out and my eyes are really itchy and red and I have a hard time seeing at work. I tried taking Atarax last night to see if that would help more than Benadryl. Big mistake since I woke up broke out in bad hives. I had to wait to get home to take benadryl since I am not 100% certain that Benadryl does not give me hives.

I personally take a claritin everyday. I have seasonal allergies and pet dander makes my eyes and face really itchy. My Dr OKed it and said its totally safe. Hope this helps.

The most recent medication that I was using was Xanax 1 mg twice a day and Zoloft 100 mg. I was on these medications for years. In the past few months I have noticed that these drugs dont help me with my condition and I decided to go cold turkey. I completely stopped taking these medications and it has already been 2 and half months since I took my last dosage. I am still struggling with anxiety which I presume, is connected to my withdrawal symptoms.

I had prior to the vet visit above been given Wilson one half Benedryl 25 mg Antihistamine morning and evening, in the hope it would clear up the paw problem. A couple weeks of this did not produce any improvement. I then checked and saw recommendations to use 1 - 2 mg per pound. As Wilson is j20+ pounds my does level was low. I have decided to continue giving him Benadryl but now one 25 mg capsule morning and night. Hope it keeps his paws and general itch problems under control.

Yes Xanax is a tablet, and it has a cheaper generic version called alprazolam, and it comes in a variety of dosages. And if you want something lighter you could try Ativan or the generic Lorazepam. I started off on Lorazepam in high school but then moved to alprazolam(xanax) recently. Medicines like this are good at putting you at ease- and eventually you can slowly be weened off of it and in the time of taking the meds you develop a good copeing plan.

Eventually they said it was from anxiety and/or depression. I had a bad reaction after one pill of anti-depressant celexa and was given xanax to take instead to help. Xanax doesnt do much except calms the nerves but it doesnt go away. I dont feel depressed or anxiety at all! I stopped taking xanax. I went out of town last week to chicago and the whole wee i was up there i didnt have these symptoms at all. Why not? I have horrible posture. Could it be a pinched nerve?

Had an eczema with itching outbreak on forehead area and took a Benadryl antihistamine pill. Fine for 24 hours, then took another and that night had a three hour AFib episode. I remember about 20 years ago, I last took an antihistamine and got flutters. Is there a connection between AFib and antihistamine, ie have others an opinion or experience of this?

I was advised a few monthes ago to stop taking xanax cold turkey and put on a 3 mg klopnopin taper for 2 weeks and then advised to quit that cold turkey in which I did. Now two monthes later I am sicker than ever. I am unable to work, drive my car etc. Little taks are daunting. Such as, showering, getting dressed etc. I am on 2 seizure meds and heart meds due to my racing heart rate.

A lot of doctors will prescribe both at the same time for severe anxiety. Take the kolonipin daily and the xanax only if and when you do experience symptoms that become unbearable. Anyway, both these meds can be addictive which can cause you problems down the road. Everyone is different though, and respond differently to meds. Good luck.

Help. I've had a cough now for 7 months and I can't take it anymore. I'm 26 year old male who was relatively healthy. This cough started shortly after a common cold and has not gone away since. It is usually a dry cough, although on rare occasions I can feel mucus flying around. Also, it has caused me to sometimes clear my throat constantly. Furthermore, since this started I have had near constant nasal swelling (ie hard to breathe out of one or both nostrils).
