Common Questions and Answers about Can i mix percocet and xanax
percocet
Hello all,
I have been taking Percocet 10 twice a day for a little over a year. I typically take one by 7am then another half around 9 and the other half around 11 or 12. I also take Xanax .25 2/3 times a day(sometimes half of that, I had dropped to .25 from .5 a few months ago).
I also like to have a few drinks and always try to wait 4 hours after taking any meds before having anything to drink. I have found that drinking basically puts me to sleep and I only typically drink beer.
I hope by this time you have called your physician or consulted with your pharmacist on taking the two at the same time. I take diazepam (similar to xanax) and hydrocodone together under my direction of my physician. If fact she insists that I take them together when my pain becomes severe. One potentiates the other. My diazepam is prescribed for muscle spasms not anxiety. It is a medication that accomplishes both as I would xanax would also do to some degree.
Her doctor has already upped her percocet. I had been on Remeron for about 5 years for GAD and it worked well for me. I am no longer on it but because we are sisters, do you think that this, if there really is a need to go on an antidepressant, would be a better choice than Lexapro with which neither one of us have had any experience, taking into consideration our genetic make up?
She has also taken 1 gram of Xanax. Is that safe? Can you take the both together? She is a very good friend of mine and I really just want to make sure she's going to be ok. They're typically low doses, but 2 different pills at the same time. She took the gram of Xanax about 15 minutes ago, I tried to talk her out of it, but being a recovering addict myself, I guess my advice is worthy for her. Please can someone tell me if this combination is ok?
I don't know but I am interested in this. I've taken Ativan but not Xanax and did not get any benefit from it (for the anxiety really either.) I have the burning nerve pain in my hand, wrist and arm. I take Neurontin but I don't know that it does much. The narcotics don't work all that great for me either (though I am getting a little relief this past week.
Xanax- Oh I remember the first time I tried them - they did absolutely nothing to me exept make me sleepy. I actually threw them away! Then like a year clean off opiates via sub, my sub doc recommends a cut in the sub and I became so anxious and I told a generalist about my axiety and he recommended the xanax. So I took it combined with sub and I didn't take .5 mg / 2x a year, instead I can take 8mg all at once.
- At dinner I take 3 shots vodka and a 10/325 Endocet. At night I I have one drink, 1mg Xanax, and 5/325 percocet. I go to bed early, before midnight. I dont sleep over two hours at once, up at 5am with the runs and withdraw next morning, go to bathroom, take shower, and start again. Duration of Endocet and percocet is one month. Alcohol is ten year. Xanax is 10 year. I do get two extra strength vicodins for DDD, but they hurt my stomach badly, so I take the Endocet and percocet.
I know you are not supposed to drink on xanax and its new years I took a xanax at 5:30 and its 7:45 now I took one shot and said to myself I'll wait till later to drink more until the xanax wears off and I can usually down 10-12 shots of vodka and not get hung over after one shot I felt buzzed so I think its safe to say I should wait till about 10:30 - 11:00 to start drinking is it dangerous to even have one shot while on xanax??

my shrink has added lamictail to my combo,,i asked him if it would had any further respatory depression..he just kinda nodded his head..wating oin his nest 8 min patient..
Technically you shouldn't. But I will speak only from my own experience. I've been on Prozac and Xanax (a benzo), and now Lexapro and Xanax for about 4 years now, and I've had the occasional drink (or 2) with no problems at all. The only thing is that the meds make the alcohol more "effective." That is 1 drink will feel like 2 drinks. So definitely don't binge drink, but a glass of wine or a cocktail here and there is not likely to cause any problems.
Hey guys, I was takin 40-50 pills of coricidin (the OTC cough med for people with high blood pressure), and cuz i couldnt get them one day I over dosed on xanax and ambien and lyrica. I take Lyrica for my fibromyalgia on a regular basis, was hospitalized and not detoxed medically was not given anything to help with the detox symptoms. Drank last night (10-30-10) 2 drinks and am a WRECK today (Halloween) going to a party tonight and taking my children trick or treating. I'm a mess.
Hello I am going to go off a 3 year 4 -6 a day Percocet habit on Friday alone .. I have to do this for myself my children and my new job that I start in two weeks . My dr recently prescribed me Xanax and celexa for anxiety and depression but I was to scared to tell him about the pills I have been taking ... I have not started the celexa because I am scared it will interact with the Percocet and haven't taken Amy Xanax because i haven't needed it ..
Percocet can depress your respiratory system and Lorazepam is a sedative. They can be dangerous taken together because of the risk of OD. But if he has been taking them together for awhile and is under a doctors care he should be fine. I was hooked on Percocet and would take Lorazepam sometimes for panic attacks, never had a problem. I was also on anti-depressants. There is a risk. How much of each is he taking?
Hey all :) well I'm passed the 3 week mark of no oxy and I'm pleased with myself. I am still taking a low dose of xanax ( .25 mgs 2x per day ) until I see my doctor next week....then I would like to come off those too. I'm hoping .50 a day is not a high dose to come off of.
So here's my question for today. I forgot I took my xanax late today because I usually take it first thing in the morning but it's the weekend and I slept in.
I have all the other syptoms,I wont list them you know what they are. At first I took 20-25 a day/I used suboxone and cleaned up. Recently I find my self taking between 10 and 12 one weekend night. Here comes the withdrawl all over again. Not only did i drop this but marijuana, subboxone, xanax, and alchol,were all also dropped yesterday as well. Its day 2 and i barley made it through work. Will this last long, and will it get worse.Any help would be appreciated. I work 12 houra day.
