Common Questions and Answers about Mixing fentanyl and xanax

Main point to remember which we have both stated, ANY prescription medicine can kill us, it's not just about xanax or Methadone or Fentanyl to name but a few. As I said, our Dr's precribe these to us because they deem the benefit of the medicine far outweighs the risks and or side effects to us. Hot topic huh?

I was clean from Alcohol/Xanax for almost 2 months and recently relapsed for about 4 days maybe 5 drinking liquor and taking xanax bars throughout the day/night and it's been 2 days since I've had a drink or taken Xanax.I would like some input on what to do?Should I take a very low dose of Xanax alone(without alcohol of course)?I feel the W/D symptoms and having trouble sleep would it really set me back if I took a minor dose?

I don't think it has been a year yet, I have been on 50mg fentanyl patch. You guys are scaring the hell out of me. I am 55 and have suffered with back pain for a number of years. I also have fibromyalga. My son is 22 and gas has been a user and abuser of Oxcotin 30mg soma and valium to what extent who knows. For years first becaususe of friends and then because he has a 3 hurniated disks bad, and this has just come to light.

One that comes to mind is the Fentanyl patch. Again, mixing opiates (especially one as strong as that) with a benzo is usually contraindicated due to respiratory depression concerns. So, any decision would have to be weighed carefully. Best of luck to you....hope you and your doc figure out a good plan!

I have checked the web and have NOT found any web sites that help with withdrawal from Fentanyl. WHY is that? This is horrible to go through. I did only by the chance of life or death and for me, it was almost death. Down to 108 pounds and all the doctors could do was cut my morphine dose etc. After finding out how the fentanyl and all the drugs were affecting me, my pancreas reacted and my intestines were causing problems so I had to stop cold turkey.

Hi, The Fentanyl is hard enough to come off of, please don't add Methadone to the mix. The idea is to get off and stay off of all drugs, You will be very sorry if you start a Methadone program. Even taking a few here and there is dangerous. I don't know if anyone ever mentioned to you that addiction is a disease. It manifests itself by our using and the inability to stop or even to know when we are putting our lives at risk. But, it is a mental and emotional disease as well.

I do take antidepressants, ambien and xanax,have HBP and take two drugs for that. Now my doctor prescribed the Fentanyl Patch 25, and I am terrified to use it. It says you have to be *opioid tolerant* which I am not. Also I take the Ambien and Xanax. Doctor said *be careful* but still, I am terrifed after reading the drug side effects. I'm scared, and my hubby and son are mad at me because they said I *won't try* anything. PLEASE HELP--what do I do? Thanks so much.

I originally posted this at the end of a different fentanyl topic started Jan. 2012. Hoping someone will see this new posting and offer some input. I have been reading about this for a couple of weeks now. I was on 125mcg fentanyl, 30 - 10mg perc, 90 - 2mg klonopin, 90 - 4mg tizanidine, gabapentin, doxepin(all monthly doses), for the last five years. I am on disability, and am staying with family currently. I stopped taking all my meds on march 12, 2013.

If you have any Xanax or Norco in the house,get rid of it. It would be bad for you to mix that with the new meds.

Ok I am over 2 weeks detoxing from 150mcg of the fentanyl patch. Well just since yesterday I have been having severe ,constant paincic attacks. I can't take it! I wish I had some valium or xanax. I can't take it. How long is this gonna freakin last????

Although I am trying very hard to find myself again in all the mixed up things that are happening to me I seem to only see myself failing. It seems impossible to manage now the Mulitple Sclerosis (MS), the severe pain that accompanies it, the recently new emotional issues that seem to take me away from every part of my life, and then there is my getting off the morphine I have been on for more than two years to manage the severe pain that MS has left me in.

I do not have a addictive personalty, I have been on them for about 1 years. My son passed way on March 1 2010 for an accidental OD of roxie's and xanax mixed with alcohol he was only 23 years old, he passed away in his sleep. I was the worse day in my life. He was getting them from one of those pill mill drs. As far as I am concerned the Dr. needs to pay. We couldn't get him to stop going and I even told the dr he was addicted and he would stop giving them to him. I hope they hang him.

Being the old junkie that I am, I even figured out a way to spike the fentanyl without getting the other **** that is in the patches. I also brak the patches open & use it orally. I have used up to 10mg without any obvious harm. And since this drug is normally measured in micrograms, I find this alarming, to say the least. The other night I (unintentionally) managed to take 55 Klonopin 2s in a 6-hour period. What does all of this say about my tolerance?

I know that it would not be a good idea to add xanax to the mix at this time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

After a bad accident several years ago i have had to have an almost complete spinal fusion/reconstruction. My name, Huey Right Seater will give you a clue, but if you don't know what a Huey is don't worry about it too much - those who do know understand why I am a bit secretive about this for fear of losing something that I love and make a good living doing.

Back in the day, Jansen (pharmacuticals) was trying to tweak out the fentanyl molecule - loperamide and fentanyl have a lot in common in terms of their structure.. anyway, they came up with loperamide in hopes it would be some incredible opioid - sadly it wasn't... so it was placed in federall schedule V - then, for some unknown reason, it was knocked out of C-V and made an OTC drug - you know it as Imodium AD ..

I am on MsContin 60mg (x2 twice a day, every 12 hrs) which has just been changed from Fentanyl 100mcg patches. I was on the Fentanyl for 5 years and have been on the MsContin for approx 2 weeks. And I am on Oxycodone 15mg (x2 three times a day) and Ritalin LA 40mg (x1 a day) and Ritalin 10mg (x2 a day). I was on Adderall and it stopped working, and now that I am thinking about it I might need it again changed from Ritalin back to the Adderall.

i have been on opioids, stadol, oxy over 30 years - - then the 75mg fentanyl stopped working and i was labeled an addict. i have been off the patch since April and off Ritalin since June and xanax since may. my migraines have been at the worst and increase in frequency. no doctor has given me a plan or what i can try. I'm doing yoga, meditation, massage as alternatives....my quality of life is null and void. i need pain relief soon! any ideas?

Currently my mom is not sober, shes a severe alcoholic, take fentanyl patches, xanax, restoril, sonata, along with a bunch of different anti-depresant medications. As sad as I would be I would give up my relationship with her if I knew she would get clean, this disease kills people, so Id much rather have her alive and not talk to her, than using until the day she dies.

Opiates cause very little damage to the body that's why docs. prescribe such large amounts. I think I was the highest amount of oxy + fentanyl then anyone can be on and It was not enough. so the ring seems pretty normal to me. the rock!!!!

Unfortunately I know all to well what being in your shoes feels like, my mom is an alcoholic (3-5bottles wine/day), along with that she has 25mcg fentanyl patches, xanax, restoril along with a host of various anti-depressant and bi-polar medication. Its really escalated to the point now that we as a family have to do something to save her life, but were just not sure exactly how to do it.

I am taking a mix of percocet and xanax. The percocet will last me for about 3-4 hours. I take some xanax at night to sleep as last night I had the restless legs like crazy. I am taking the vitamin b, l-thorine, and also potassium and following the thomas receipt. I am so grateful to never touch another oxy but I heard now that to get off percocets will take 10-12 days of pure hell. Does anybody have any experience? I went out to walk yesterday and got eaten up by mosquitoes.

I would like to try using mild oral sedation accompanied by a pain killer. Based on prior experience with vicidin (dental pain) and xanax (pre dental anti-anxiety medication) @ 0.75 mg; I am considering that combination for the procedure as follows: 3 0.25mg xanax tabs one hour prior = 0.75 mg total dosage with 1 Vicodin ES (7.5/750) one hour prior (for pain) Is this a good viable combination ?

Here i am trying to go off the meds and he puts me on something stronger! Ok so i find out that its the same as the mix of darvo and norco i was using. So all i did was go sideways. So, from a PM point of view, is "measured regular delivery" method better than what I have been doing? Taking some at night, waiting most of the day with nothing, then only taking it when the pain comes on.

1) She states 1mg xanax=20mg valium accepted in UK only as conversion estimate 2) Virtually ALL US and Canadian medical professinals estimate the equivalency to be between 5-10 mg of valium per 1mg xanax 3) Xanax is a 1,4 triazalo benzo targeting completely different receptor sites than valium 4) Many unfortunate individuals attempting this have wound up with a dual dependency because of this fact On the subject of the UK and it's benzo forums, I have been there and in my opinion most o

My drug of choice was always oxycodone but the last time I quit I had been taking 2x 100ug/hr fentanyl patches as well as dilaudid, xanax, and some whiskey more often than not thrown into the mix every day. Somehow when I quit cold turkey (after doing a quick 1 week taper from dilaudid/leftover fentanyl gel from old patches) I did NOT experience noticable withdrawals. Atleast compared to when last time I quit taking oxy cold turkey.

I have heard so much damage with Xanax, it scares me so please be aware of what this drug mixes with and how dangerous this drug is. Keep the exercise level up and the endorphins will take over very soon and take back what your body needed for control. The endorphins are a very good power tool to help you body mend and it will so be patient and keep the course going. You have my support and hope that you will soon get through this and you will.

Well, since the gel apparently enables the skin to absorb the Fentanyl from the patch, I imagine the gel would enable the nasal membrane to absorb Fentanyl -- probably much faster than skin. I've never tried it, but Fentanyl is supposed to be rockin good ****. If I was reasonably sure I wouldn't OD, I'd be tempted to snort some gel. It would undoubtedly be uncomfortable at first, but, once that Fentanyl hit your bloodstream, I doubt if you'd care what was up where ...

It weakly binds to the opioid receptors in the brain and the spinal cord but the bind is no where near as strong as oxycodone, morphine, or fentanyl. In addition to that, Tramadol also has a mode of action similar to an SSRI anti-depressant as it increases serotonin in the brain. This helps the brain's perception of the pain, and thus reduces the pain. I reached tolerance with Tramadol after 2 years of use.
