Mixing oxycodone and xanax

Common Questions and Answers about Mixing oxycodone and xanax

oxycontin

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Weaver is correct in regards to mixing, as I dangerously did it for nearly 8 years straight. My tolerance level became so high mixing OxyContin, Oxycodone and Xanax (Alprazolam). DO NOT take the Vic's, as it will not alleviate the desire for the Xanax. As she said, taper. I was lucky I did not kill myself, as I went cold turkey 30 days ago from all 3 as described above. I was suicidal and have been an addict too too long.
Avatar f tn Yeah, you need to taper it. It sounds like you do have an issue with it. You don't take it every single day, right? So maybe take one every three days and so on? I definitely wouldn't wanna see anyone have a xanax addiction or xanax withdrawal without tapering. That is not safe! You should really see a doc, get your own prescription and taper them properly. Don't ask her for any more meds no matter if she calls you or not, if you are serious about being drug free?
Avatar n tn I understand that mixing Xanax and Alcohol can have serious negative effects. However, my question is mainly about Xanax, and in regard to how long it stays in the system to the point where it is dangerous to mix with alcohol. (i.e., is it dangerous to drink alcohol after 1 day of not taking Xanax?..2 days? etc). Another question, how serious are the long-term effects of drinking alcohol WITH xanax?
Avatar f tn I doubt it's from the beer if the last time you drank was 6 weeks ago. Are you in therapy? It would probably help if you were getting some sort of counseling for whatever the reason you were prescribed xanax. What are going through right now? FWIW, drinking with xanax is a good way to kill yourself. My son's best friend recently OD'd and died while mixing xanax and alcohol. He vomited in his sleep and choked to death on his own vomit. I would recommend you do not mix the two.
Avatar n tn and his whole life style could stand a scrutinization - especially the mixing pills and more importantly - - the mixing of different pills of the same chemical name - no matter what the pill co's name. The Doc needs to spend a few more minutes with his patient to make certain that his directions are clear and understood. If the pain is still not being managed properly, then the meds need to be changed or different measures need to be taken. Vigilance is a keyword here .......
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 n tn how much seroquel, xanax, and alcohol causes an overdose. im qworried about my sister, she ha been prescribed xanax for 8 years now at 2mg a day, so her tolerance is well established. she is also an alcoholic. thankfully, she knows not to combine xanax while drinking, but what about the addition of seroquel? could she OD from the pill combination alone? would then the addition of alcohol just pretty much seal her fate?
Avatar m tn ) I noticed right off that the Clonidine made me not wanna move and just listen to my favorite music and after being on opiates including both Oxycodone 30s, Oxy 40s, Xanax 2mg to start and lowered to 1mg (The lowering the xanax was to cover the Dr's *** I found out later!) Here is the final part... Today I got up feeling craving terribly and got a couple of Dones and was curious by missing the Done and Clonidine am I at a major risk?
Avatar m tn One problem with carisoprodol (Soma) is that it potentiates opioids, as do benzos. Mixing oxycodone with both Soma and Xanax will give any prescribing physician the willies, as this combination, especially in the presence of alcohol, would cause many a patient to 'wake up dead.' Dantrolene is a good muscle relaxant, and the only one that does not effect the central nervous system -- it works directly on preventing muscle contraction. This may be a safer medication for you.
Avatar n tn It is a new drug to your body. Mixing benzos and opiates can be deadly. Thats what half (or more ) of these celebrities have been dropping dead from over the years (and of course many, many more normal people too ). Anna Nicole SMith, Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson (although it's not official yet), etc. And are you taking 2-3 lortabs at one dose? or spread out thru the day? if you are taking them all at once, you definitely should not be taking the xanax with it.
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 f tn I am not an alcoholic and not even a big drinker. However, I do enjoy a glass of wine with dinner every now and then (once every 2-3 months, if that). Anyway, I'm having a BBQ next weekend and I wouldn't mind having a beer.
Avatar n tn Wellbutrin and Xanax. What are the risks of taking these and smoking marijuana? I already used to self medicate with the marijuana, but recently started the Rx meds due to a Traumatic experience but I am concerned with the combo.
268911 tn?1213744781 I just read that mixing grapefruit and Xanax can be dangerous. IS THIS TRUE? If so..what are the dangers? I eat a grapefruit for breakfast EVERY morning. SHOOT, DARN, HECK!
Avatar n tn I have been prescribed Xanax and Hydrocodone to cope with the pain of an upcoming medical procedure - my prescription says "as needed" but I only have 2 x 1mg of Xanax and 2 x 325mg acetominophen/ oxycodone pills so 4 pills total. I'm thinking of taking all 4 (2 of each) simultaneously so I'm essentially "out of it" during the 5 minutes that the procedure will last - is this a safe dosage for an otherwise healthy adult male on no other meds ?
Avatar m tn You will have to call the doctor and tell him what you were taking and ask him if it is okay. We cant and wont give you the info you are looking for. We will help you get thru this emotionally.......
Avatar f tn To many xanax and to much alcohol will kill young or old. He needs help but he is young and most young people think they are invincible. Maybe you can get him to some na meetings or even a drug treatment center this will help him at lest he will no how to quit when he gets ready to quit. Treatment will teach him how to quit and he wont forget treatment.
Avatar f tn That is a lot of Xanax to combine with alcohol.I would take her to ER and she should avoid taking alcohol with any pills.
Avatar n tn is it normal to vomit blood after mixing oxynorm and stilnoct sleeping tablets with wine
Avatar f tn t trusting her and she was right. It just seemed like too many meds and I looked it up on the internet and that was the wrong thing to do. I am a worrier so reading about Heath really bothered me. I know if we are under a doctors care and let them know what meds we are on everything should be fine, but it's cases like his that make me truly wonder. Can anyone help me out with this?
232264 tn?1191248480 Hey Josh , Welcome back I remember you from when I first came to Medhelp ! I will tell you one thing I think worked better for me then Xanax and that was Klonipin (Clonzapam ) It last 8 hours vs 3 for Xanax and it doesn't have as near the nasty side effects as Xanax , at least that's what the UCLA doctors tell me . Most of them wont even prescribe it . And Klonipin works well for me .
1438550 tn?1283974158 Husband was told he could take them both together, and to save the xanax for an immediate onset of panic that the Klonopin couldn't handle...which worked out fine. Now, all this time, we had been waiting on SSI, disability & a Medicare physician... we found one which would take him for both the pain AND the regular medical issues like GERD, cholesterol, etc.... ALL of a sudden, this new doc's ARNP said NO mixing of Xanax/Klonopin...and we explained what HER boss...the doctor said...
Avatar n tn I cant tell you how many people died from mixing methadone and xanax but its happening at alarming rates everyday. I go to a meth clinic and had a phyc doc prescribe 2mgs 3x a day also. I dont remember most of the month if you know what I mean. GET HIM HELP NOW. Things got so bad with me I became homeless and came clean to the doc that I was an addict. They stopped the scripts and I havent taken xanax like that since. It makes the person look like theyre going to fall over just standing still.
Avatar f tn 30, took a xanax and feel back to sleep until 6:45 am. Usually once I am up at 4 I am up the rest of the morning in a pretty hard panic. I am trying to feel hopefully, but not too hopeful. I just wanted to say "Yeahh!" when I saw the clock.
