Mixing ambien with xanax

Common Questions and Answers about Mixing ambien with xanax

ambien

Avatar n tn If this person is already tolerant to the opiods then there is less of this side effect happening. Mixing Xanax with opiods and the sleeping pill is a dangerous combination, especially in high amounts.
Avatar m tn Well first of all Im not sure that you should have been mixing the ambien and xanax. Both are fairly strong stuff and because of that even short term use can cause rebound insomnia. Also quitting opiates will cause insomnia. So unfortunatly you will just have to suck it up if you want to get off of all of it. You wont sleep well for awhile but it will get better. Either that or take your ambien at night and slowly decrease it.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know how dangerous mixing ambien (15mg) and heroin (a few injections) is?
Avatar n tn Xanax does not interact significantly with cocaine. If a person came to the ER with anxiety from cocaine, a Xanax-like medication would likely be given to the person. But I can't really say it is 'safe' to take Xanax after cocaine. The Xanax is not likely to do anything bad, assuming you take it in a reasonable, therapeutic dose. But cocaine is NEVER a 'safe' medication.
Avatar n tn the norco u can stop..the ambien if only after 2 nights u can stop...talk with ur physician and find an alternative that works..the seroquil mentioned above works for many with severe insomnia...ambien will not help bad insomnia only occasional sleepless nights....and u never know which drug will hit ur "button" and cause u to abuse it...for me it is narcotics..for some benzos and others ambien...
Avatar f tn why does my son inject heroin and then mix it with ambien?I'm just a learner.Doesn't heroin make you want to stay awake?And ambien puts you to sleep?
Avatar n tn And very often, taking things like ambien for a sleep problem is just a band-aid on a bigger problem, and when you stop taking the ambien, the problem will still be there. You need to speak with your doctor about getting to the root cause of your sleeping problems.
Avatar f tn Can I take 600-800 mpg of gabupentin with 10 mug ambien and 5htp. I have horrible time going to sleep and staying asleep.
Avatar f tn Also, remember, that you can build a tolerance up with xanax...If you are still concerned, why not talk with your pharmacist that fills your prescription? They usually have a wealth of knowledge that you can tap into in my opinion. I have used it a couple of times and it worked...just ensure you have a fairly good chunk of time blocked off for sleep. Keep us posted!
Avatar m tn I am desperate for any help. My situation is as follows: Was prescribed 4.5 mg of Xanax for about the past five years along with 2 12.5 mg Ambien CRs. Soon, the 4.5 mg wasn't enough and I was on anywhere between 10 - 20 mg of xanax a day for about a year. Made a decision to get off everything and since this July, I've cut my Xanax dosage down to 3.5 mg and my Ambien to 1.5 pills of the 12.5 mg Ambien CR.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Xanax a little over a month ago to help with the panic attacks from going off tramadol. I was prescribed to take 1-2 .5mg pills up to 3 times a day as needed for anxiety. I NEVER took them that much or during the day at all for that matter. But for the last week and a half I have been taking 1mg at bedtime to help me get to sleep. Will I have horrible withdrawals if I just stop taking it at night?
Avatar m tn At day 19 I thought I would be completely finished with these xanax wd's but they keep coming and coming. Late last night I watched a commercial about Lunesta and they mentioned that a common side effect was new or worsening depression. That caught my attention so I began to frantically research Ambien and every article I've read lists new or worssening depression as a common side effect. I've been taking Ambien off & on for the past 2 years..usually only 1/2 a tablet.
Avatar f tn I want to quit taking xanax and ambien. I have been on both for a few years. I also take Subxone. I take 12.5 mg of ambien and .5mg of xanax 2 or 3 times per day. Can I quit cold turkey without? I have heard xanax withdrawal can cause seizures,, but am not sure if my dose is high enough to worry about that.
Avatar n tn My goodness, I'm surprised she didn't have a blackout mixing Xanax and alcohol. Good thing you called her out. Maybe it will help her to realize what she is doing and that it's not a secret like she may think.
1636406 tn?1300242006 That's a lot of drugs to mix, especially the Xanax with the Methadone, that can be really dangerous. Can you tell us what is going on?
Avatar m tn Before I stopped taking everything recently from Oxycodone 30mg 5x a day, Xanax went from 2mg twice a day to 1mg twice a day also Dr changed me from Ambien to i believe its called Restoril because of all the issues going on with Ambien and finally Celexa 40mg once a day at bed that the Dr thought I needed but I believe my depression results from everything following my friggen accident! After 2-3 days I was so sick and my wife could see it I didn't hesitate going to the ER.
Avatar f tn NO!!! you are still 16 days.....just be very carefull with the ambiem.... congrats on 16 days!!!
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder with PTSD and I was put on xanax 1mg to take 2 1/2 a day. I was experiencing mainly what my psychiatrist called mania where I would be ridiculously irritable and nervous/shaky. While the xanax took care of most of this, at times I still experience a very bad mood and have anger problems, where I fly off the handle at things that wouldn't bother most people to that extreme.
Avatar f tn Hi y'all! I just got signed up here I'm not got a addiction yet lol that's why I am wanting to ask everyone if someone could help. I just started pain management yesterday for thoracic outlet syndrome I'm in physical therapy I go two times a week and am trying to do anything to keep me from surgery. But anyways the pain doc I went to was a big butthole to me since he has never heard of what I have he almost didn't help even tho my thoracic doc requested me to go to him.
Avatar f tn As my stress levels have begun to decrease and with the recent media coverage of problems with Xanax addiction, I decided with my physician that it was time to try something different - He prescribed Ambien for sleep with 2.5 mg Xanax during the day for the first week. The first two nights after the switch, I quickly fell into a hard sleep with the Ambien but awakened after 4 hours feeling extremely jittery-not unexpected.
Avatar f tn you have to change your mind set about always needing pills to live your life. the sleep will return on its own, the xanax, the klonipin, the ambien are still messing with your natural endrophins and seratonin. how much klonipin did he give you and for how long?
Avatar f tn I would ask around or research cos some doctors do not know anything about tapering off of benzos. Ambien is not a benzo so it is the xanax u need to taper off of. U did not state ur dose of either drug. A high dose of anything should be tapered in the sedative/anti-anxiety world but benzos for sure. There is an example of a benzo taper in an article in the health pages by a british Doctor who specializes in addiction.
Avatar n tn Slow tapers are the way to go .Keep incontact with your doctor .you can always go slower if you need too...
