Common Questions and Answers about Can you take lunesta and xanax together

lunesta

Avatar m tn As needed or regularly? I personally would be scared to take Klonopin and Lunesta together. Have you done it yet? Is the Lunesta just for once in awhile?
Avatar n tn You think you are not going to sleep without it so you go ahead and take it every night. I tried lunesta but couldn't get past the taste. It stayed with me all night. I also take ambein . It helps with irritability.
Avatar m tn thank you I read ur profile u seem to be loving person. Should I not take the Xanax or inform my doc?
Avatar n tn I want to taper off xanax. Would it be safe to take half a 1 mg. xanax with 2 mg Lunesta or would I then become dependent on the Lunesta also?
Avatar f tn I feel for you. Hopefully you found an alternative to the Xanax for anxiety if that is the issue. Managing pain and the issues of anxiety or depression is so hard and I'm sorry you have been going through this. I'm here to talk to you if you need it. sending you hugs.
Avatar f tn I have been on Celexa for over a year and I lowered it to see if I could be ok (depression) without it. But my depression came back. So now I'm upping it back to the dose I was origionally on. It takes about a week for my body to adjust to any dose changes. Since I've been on my typical dosage since 3 weeks ago, I can rule out Celexa. My doctor does know about my Celexa. My first guess it the Birth Control.
Avatar n tn I have tried Lunesta and it worked for a year and I am now on Xanax which I seem to have to take more and more of to sleep. What can I do?
492921 tn?1321289896 Sleep will be very important in your recovery, so I hope that you can get this resolved. I would not recommend using xanax for sleep, however. What dosage are you taking?
Avatar f tn It's 3 weeks since I've been having a pretty serious depression, including anxiety & sleeplessness. I was put on a new antidepressant LexiPro (15 days now), xanax as needed, which I only need to "take the edge off" when Im shaky, and Lunesta to sleep. This is the 2nd time I've used Lunesta.
Avatar n tn Doctors are prescribing this medication and the lunesta for months and years. If you do the research you will find out the companies state it should NEVER be used more than 10-days to 2 weeks at most. If you are having insomnia now wait till you have given up these meds for a few day and weeks. You feel horrible. I will never take another prescription sleep drug.
Avatar m tn Initially i was taking Xanax and lunesta at the same time with mixed results. So now, her NEW prescription is stated in the above subject line. and my question is, is this a safe a cocktail? how am i going to feel with taking the 15 mg. of remeron AT THE SAME TIME AS THE XANAX AND LUNESTA????? thanks for your time. i am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and i ALMOST there. i am just a little skeptical on taking this stuff on top of what i am taking. thanks again.
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 m tn t, okay, but that will take time. But you can find a psychiatrist right away to put you back on Xanax and taper you off as you should have done. While you can get seizures quitting a benzo abruptly, especially after being on it for so long, since it's been a week that isn't likely to happen now, but the withdrawal you're going through might go away in a week and might last forever, so I'd play it safe and go back on the Xanax and do it the right way.
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 have recently cleaned up from using xanax and I can tell you that you CANNOT under any circumstances stop taking it cold turkey as it can lead to seizures. There are several people here that can give you the names of alternate medications that may help you sleep. Withdrawing from xanax is pretty dire but in the long run I feel so much better for it. If you go to your doctor and tell him/her that you do not want to take xanax anymore, they will help you with a taper plan.
Avatar f tn i recommend stop taking the xanax now because you probably know the withdraw from xanax can result in seizures. i recommend just getting some otc sleep aids, like maximum strength unisom liquid caps or some excedrin pm. ambien is also very addictive and if you have problems sleeping now you will really have probelm sleeping while detoxing off narcotic sleep aids. how long have you been taking these? you may already be somewhat addicted and may need to taper off.
266660 tn?1189755834 ) I was prescribed Klonopin for anxiety and sleep and she said to not take it with Lunesta (this is after I asked *her*, she didn't mention it until then.) The Klonopin seems to work as well as the Lunesta, BTW. Kevin, I've read that Lunesta and Ambien are the same "types" of sleep aids but that is all I know. I hope Ryan can clear this up for us.
Avatar n tn I am a 21 yr old female who has been suffering from anxiety my whole life. For the past four months i have been in constant anxiety mode. I have tried every antideppressant possible all of them being to sensitive for me. I realize when i get a good sleep my anxiety is gone, but i havent been sleeping in months. Whenever i fall asleep i feel so anxius and wake right back up panicing.
514273 tn?1311609635 I took Lunesta through detox and for all I know a tic tac would have been more effective. You know you can get through it - you have done it before. Just stay strong and prepare for the 'staying' clean part.. much harder than the 'getting' clean part. Best of luck!
Avatar m tn It has come to a point where I need to medicate myself with several different medicines in order to fall asleep. I usually take Ambien 10 mg and I take two od those and sometimes Xanax 1 mg. I have noticed that Ambien doesnt really help much anymore. I just feel weird when I take it. Sometimes when I dont take anything to sleep and I manage to fall asleep, I have very vivid dreams and nightmares. Even after taking medicine, I dont usually fall asleep until 4 am and I am up at 8 or 9.
Avatar m tn Trazadone is a great med that helps with sleep and it will also help w/anxiety the next day after u take it.I remember taking them when I was taking like6-8mg of xanax a day and I quit and took the trazadone to help w/sleep cause benzo w/d is rough and sleep doesnt come easy.Well to my surprise it helped a lot with not feeling like I was gonna jump out of my skin.The only thing is for me((maybe cause I needed it so badly)I slept9+hours the1st few times I took it).
