ativan beer

Im on 3 mg of xanax and 40 mg of prozac my dr told me i could have occasional beer with these meds....over the years i have been on ativan or klonopin and drank non alkie beer it does have 0.5 percent alchol by volume and had no affect..i also drank it while on abilify,risperdal.and celexa over the past two yeaars...........so is it ok to drink it with the xanax and prozac........i had a couple i and i thought i got a buzz..which has never happened when i was on ativan or klonopin.

so Anyways well i was sound asleep i guess my brother asked nicely for the DR. to give me Ativan because that is what i needed the most so the DR. gave me Ativan. I was in the hospital for 3 days and well on Ativan i did not have another Seizure. I am at home now the DR. wrote me a script for Ativan to take every 8 hours 1mg. I am talking i had 2 serious seizure i don't remember nothing when i fall to the pavement or when i had one laying on my couch.

My longtime friend who is 36 has a drinking problem. We all partied a lot in our younger days but he is the one in the group who basically hasn't stopped. He now mainly drinks alone about a 12 pack of beer a day. He also takes 2 mg of adivan for anxiety. He's probably been consuming this amount of beer for about 15 years. He recently told me his liver count was high but he didn't tell the DR he was a drinker because he didn't want him to stop the RX of adivan.

How specificallly should a person use ativan to taper off alcohol? There are nine 1mg pills and no instructions.

I was switched from ativan to xanax 14 days ago and im feeling kinda more depressed would xanax do that..

went on paxil a few years back,, worked but made me numb,,, the bad thing is i started drinking a few beers a day ,keeps me mellow,,, i havent had an attack in awhile,, i get close to having one,, but somehow i realize now,,, its not going to kill me,,,i know the beer thing isnt a good choice but it works for me,,and i dont feel all numd=b and lifeless, tried theropy ,,, didnt. work,,, tried everything,,, a few beers when im anxious works,,, bad idea right?

Yes just a beer and I get started on bus bar ativan and steroids on Monday.

would drinkin a beer or glass of wine help maybe, im not a big drinker but is it worth a shot. i take xanax but after so many im zombie-ish.

Wine is only okay after your baby is fully developed in the last month not, "here and there" and beer is not okay. I crave beer all the time but I wouldn't drink a small one I mean what's the point you're not gonna get drunk nor buzzed and it'll just go straight to the baby.

Yesterday was sooo hot I just wanted a beer really really bad with a blunt on the side lol but I didn't I stopped cold turkey as soon as I found at I was pregnant it's really tempting but I know my baby comes before my needs now n I want them to be healthy

Hahahah ive got my occasional O'Douls beer...its like light beer but non alcoholic.

Well I asked my Dr and he said I beer or glass of wine a week in the first is fine and second trimester 2 a week and third you can have one glass of wine with dinner whenever... I went by those rules last pregnancy and my son is just fine but I know people freak out about all kinds of things so idk... It's up to you..

I had only recently started drinking somewhat, one one day I took one beer, it was a can of 330ml with 6.8percent beer, what are the chances of it causing some memory loss, I remember having protected sex with a girl afterwards, what are the chances that this one beer can could have caused memory loss and that some detail of the event may not be in my memory?

okay, so when I drink any type of Budweiser products my throat closes up and my uvula expands to twice if not three times its normal size... When I first drink the beer I break out in hives and then in the morning the throat things happen.. I just want to know what is causing it because one Smirnoff ice was enough to put me in the er... I am abroad right now so its hard to just go see a doctor.

Ok no, just no. Beer does not help with your supply. Dark beer allows for a faster let down but it has nothing to do with your supply. And the only reason this is, is because it relaxes you more. If you Choose to drink and then breast feed it's completely up to you. But alcohol will go to your newborn.

I see what you mean about Ativan/Xanax and Klonopin. I asked my psych. to give me Ativan. He staunchly refused. He said Klonopin is much better for daily use--as you pointed out. But I wanted something stronger. He still refused.

my dr told me i could have an occasional beer with my xxanax and prozac....i drink non alkie beer which is less than 0,5 percent alchol by volume....

I feel jittery, paranoid, heart palpitations, nausea, and I a FREEZING cold. I do have a perscription for Ativan and started taking1/2 pil in the Am and 1/2 in the evening. I am afraid of seizures??? Any thoughts??? Is cold turkey the way for someone who has been drinking so much for so long???

Hi, thanks in advance for being "there". I have struggled w/knowing how to interpret results, symptoms, etc. I've read you can't have itching and burning unless you have an action lesion. Same with lymph tenderness. Last week (8 to 10 days ago) my scrotum was hot feeling. This hot feeling now is on the foreskin of my penis. No bumps other than a sebaceous cyst on my scrotum. I have noticed when I wake up in the morning, I have no burning anywhere.

Your Doctor is an HACK for not informing you, how ever your therapist ***** too. You need to know YOUR trading vodka for beer in pill form. If you get your hands on Ativan take it as prescribed, and ween off the Xanax- but the 1/4 a week taper format is for a patient willing to give up Benzos all together. This is why your therapist ***** and this should have been addressed years ago.

Ativan itself is habit forming. If used short term, it could help to ease some of the symptoms of w/d, but if you have a history of addiction, it can be a slippery slope. You don't want to end up having to w/d from that as well. Benzodiazepine w/d is very difficult, and can actually be dangerous if not done properly. Teresa asked you some good questions. If you can elaborate a bit on your history, people can give you more specific advice.

t tell you ativan is the boogey man, it helps and you do seem to have an awareness about using it. Ativan is a Benzodiazipiem<sp and it has dangers like most drugs out there. Particularly withdrawing from them, causes seizures in heavy usages. I think in most cases you should listen to your doctor. If you don't trust your doctor you should consider finding a new one. Good Luck....

I as well have taken both Xanax and Ativan. I personally feel that the Ativan is better. I do not take it often. Only when I am having an attack coming. The biggest difference I felt in the two medications was that with Xanax, I woke up very groggy still not much calmer. Ativan I do not wake up groggy and I actually am relaxed. I think you would benefit from trying it. IF you do not care for it than either ask to be put back on Xanax or a different one all together. Good luck!
