Common Questions and Answers about Can i take ritalin and xanax together

ritalin

Avatar f tn I went to a pain management clinic for over 15 years but I cannot find a new clinic that will accept me because I take Xanax AND I CANNOT COME OFF THEM I have tried several times. My psychiatrist has even written a letter to some clinics stating I cannot come off of the Xanax but they still refuse to take me and want to put me on Suboxone and I do not know what to do. I CANNOT TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE.
Avatar f tn I have felt sick but am not sure if it is the withdrawal effects from stopping Effexor or the mixture of Wellbutrin and Ritalin. I feel brain spasms, especially in the back of my head. Today I did not take the Ritalin and felt no spasms. On the other hand, my doc told me to take the Ritalin constantly. I tried to take it only when I needed to concentrate at work and not on days I donĀ“t have to work. He told me it is not good to interrupt intake like that.
Avatar f tn im still puzzled by my walking but that started with the prozac and xanx.....as i said i have been on benzos 20 years..so i can only try to cut back..i thought of upping the adderall back to original doseof 15 mg 3 times a day instead of two,,but im afraid it will hurt my heart,,,so many people say it can............why would my dr put me on it knowing the xanax would affect it when he prescibed the xanax and prozac/...
Avatar f tn but he said thats only if you r prone to seizures...so i went to drug checker and put in all my meds ritalin,xanax and wellbutrin....it says the combo of wellbutrin and ritalin really increases the chance of seizures and so does the xanx..so im scared to take it now,dr also said i could drink a couple beers and i think that increases seizures to.............I have never had a seizure so maybe im worried for nothing ..anyone been on this combo?
Avatar f tn If I take .25 klonopin 2x daily for maintenance of anxiety , can I take the occasional xanax for breakthrough panic attacks?
Avatar m tn Can you please tell me if you can take Nexium 40mg. and Zantac 75mg. together or on the same day. My GI doctor has me on Nexium 40mg. and my PCP wants me to take Zantac 75mg. at night before I go to bed. Is it safe, and can I take it with Xanax 1mg. I have GERDS and Barrett's Esophagus. And they both think it mjght be causing these little pinpoint pimples in my mouth, tongue, and throat.
Avatar f tn hi since march 3 i have been on prozac and xanax i have depression and anxiety...im a bit bettter but my dr said prozac is very stimulating and im not finding that im still depressed and dragging around....are others on prozac and xanxax with luck.....dr is thinking of adding a amphetimine when i next go back to see him...im thinking like ritalin or something....its been almost a month shouldnt i feel better...does xanax make the prozac not help with depression or something?

1516765 tn?1298060345 I would also like to add that I take adderall for ADD and I started off with Ritalin. I have more acid then I used to have without so, it could also be a side effect of the Ritalin as well.
Avatar f tn I would contact your doctor right away to see what he has to say. Anytime something new arises you need to let him know. He will know if it is anxiety or your medication combo. Take care.
Avatar f tn I was just diagnosed with an autoammune disease and don't want to take plaquenil just yet. Doctor said to take celebrex and a muscle relaxer. I have been taking 1 mg of xanax for 3 weeks and before that it was about twice a week as needed. I was having such anxiety and sleep issues rhemy said to take it every day. Now 3 weeks later she wants to try the new coctail of celebrex and muscle relaxer.
Avatar n tn I also take adderall for add and xanax for anxiety. The reason that you are experiencing anxiety like symptoms from the adderall is because adderall is a stimulant. It is a mix of amphetamine and dextoamphetamine salts. It is a schedule II drug. Schedule I drugs are the worst classification and it goes down to schedule V. This is not uncommon, I have this problem as well. The question is can you live with the extra anxiety if the adderall is really helping you?
Avatar n tn sorry, i meant, i took adderall and ritalin for staying focused to study.....
Avatar f tn t moving and I can tell he is sleeping. He does get up and down from be; restroom, smoking, and to eat, but not much of anything else but watching tv when he is awake. I am at my last end over what is going on. Can anyone help me? He was taking other medication and I was able to get him to give them up because they didn't seem to be helping anyway. The patch doesn't seem to help either in my opinion. sometimes he will take advil or other back pain meds too.
Avatar n tn I already take xanax, which is similar to ativan, at night and the first time I took them together I felt very weird and spacey in the morning. I so feel for you.....I've had insomnia since my teens and sometimes will go for months with only a few hours of sleep a night too. I'm sure lack of sleep is a huge contibuter to how bad your feeling.
Avatar f tn i have been on remeron in the past made me to fat and as it is my hubby wants me to lose twentyfive pounds i was so depressed yesterday and that was on prozac wellbutrin ritalin and xanx,,i dont really know what to do.........
2044839 tn?1331255841 Yes, thankfully you can take both of these drugs together as they act on different pathways of the brain. Many times we would prescribe to two meds together because it takes Celexa about six weeks to really start working well. That being the case we need the xanax to help get pt's through that period of time. it is also nice for them to have a little extra for the hard day that will occur from time to time.
Avatar f tn Dr is upping my ritalin to 30 mg first thing in the mornings and if it helps me not feel so down i can take 30 mg in afternnon too,but i get so anxious like it tightend my chest and i worry heart will go to high so then i take a xanax and then it makes me tired,,,,any ideas how i can stop worrying about ritalin
Avatar n tn For Sure, I take adderall and I get mad anxiety for no reason, sometimes it just hits me like a brick and sinks into my stomach dragging me down into a terrible feeling. It used to be so bad that I would smoke weed all the time cuz that was all that would help. It also made me quit my meds lots of times always with bad results. Nowadays I get xanax, but I really don't want to take a xanax everytime I feel that way.
Avatar f tn I was put on Zoloft at first and then switched a few years ago to 40mg of Paxil along with 25mg of Xanax daily. I still feel anxiety and depression, however, and am afraid these drugs no longer work or that I have become immune to their effects. Should I be expecting the dosages of these medications to change over time? Is it normal to prescribe these drugs together? I am also on toprol for my blood pressure. A different perspective on these drugs would help. Thank you.
Avatar f tn 5mg of Xanax a day. One in the morning and one at night, but honestly I hardly ever take them. I take it when I have a lot of trouble sleeping, and if I have a lot of troubling thoughts and stress in my life. I take them as needed and don't want to become addicted to them or basically feel like I need to rely on them. I try to deal with my anxiety in other ways as much as possible, but when that doesn't work or I have a full blown attack I definetly take them.
Avatar f tn i have cut back to 2 mg of xanax a day and by next week i can cut down to 1 xanax and the next week be off.........per my dr he is a pshy.A friend told me she thinks thats to much benzos...........so now im scared. I have to get off the xanax.I am pretty drowsy..but my dr said that should pass once my body adjusts.........
Avatar m tn I know when I can take it, and when I cant. I DO NOT take BENZOS every day. I would say that I take a KLONOPIN maybe once or twice a week when needed. It is scary to see that response of trading one addiction for another. I know that Suboxone is addictive. I just dont know how long I should be on it.. I started treatment 2 months ago.. Should I still be taking the SUBOXONE? According to my DR I should be on it for at least 6 months then he is going to taper me off of it..
Avatar f tn My doctor prescribed both my Synthroid and my Prozac. My Mom is actual on the two together as well. My doctor says that there is not interaction, my pharmacist has never warned me of a potential reaction and they are very good about that, and I checked both a drug interaction checker online and the Synthroid website. According to the Synthroid website and to the drug interaction checker on drugs.
Avatar n tn i started taking zoloft 100 mg 2 times a day and xanax 1 mg 3 times a day and its making me black to the point i stole something and did not come out of it till i was sitting in a holding sell in hand cuffs what does this mean ?
Avatar m tn Are you both ready to stop? Not just idle talk, but ready? And if so, are both of you equally determined? It's not an unattainable goal. You can do this! You can prepare and CT them. With the exception of Xanax. Because we don't know your usage and if it was daily, stopping Xanax ct can cause seizures. It should be done under a Drs care. Many here quit oxys CT, myself included. I also CT'd Ritalin, but I'm not sure if it's one that should be stopped or weaned.
