11487567 tn?1418754128 org/page/ADHDandAnxiety In terms of combining stim meds and anxiety meds, this link to a short video by Dr. Charles Parker really explains things much better then I could. The link is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsj219F9M2Q Finally, wow, I can see why the pharmacist was a bit surprised. That is quite a med load. What kind of a doctor are you seeing and how old is your daughter?

Avatar f tn I WAS WONDERING WHICH ONE WOULD BE BETTER TO SWITCH TO INSTEAD OF BEING ON THE METHADONE CAUSE I ALSO TAKE XANAX AND ITS A RISK FOR RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS COMBINING THE TWO...ANY SUGGESTIONS OF WHICH IS BETTER TO TAKE THE PLACE OF METHADONE?
Avatar f tn I would contact your doctor right away to see what he has to say. Anytime something new arises you need to let him know. He will know if it is anxiety or your medication combo. Take care.
Avatar f tn i read some good reviews on people using ritalin for depression...and i have the xanax to curb my anxiety....i just dont know if i can up my proxac to 60 mg how llong would i notice before upping the prozc if its gonna help and should i be worried about being allergic to ritalin....its made differnet than the adderall...
Avatar n tn 1. Combining alcohol and Xanax can kill by depressing the breathing centers of the central nervous system - he could fall asleep and stop breathing. 2. Combining alcohol and diabetic medications could cause him to develop low blood sugar while passed out from the Xanax and alcohol. Low blood sugar can lead to seizures and death. Even if your husband does not die, the following may happen: 1. Drinking will tend to raise his blood pressure, and he already has a blood pressure problem. 2.
Avatar n tn well, went down to about 1mg of xanax.... which i am completely out of..... but valium doesn't seem to be working for me.... after i stopped taking xanax... i was taking a pretty high dosage of valium... averaging... 10mg-30mg / night..... i realli need to sleep... so i started with 10mg valium then another 10mg, another... i think 35mg in total.... still can't sleep... i know this sounds very stupid of me.... and yes.. i think i have a serious addiction problem....and now i am still up.
Avatar f tn i got a new dr and he canged me from adderall to methylin generic ritalin....do they have kinda same ingrediaents..it to be used for depresssion but he said i have some add symptoms also on on xanax and prozac,,he is upping my prozac...
Avatar f tn I was given Ativan for sleep three weeks ago and it's working fine--I do get quite sleepy during the day so I don't know how people take this when they're at work BUT my heart still starts pounding and I have difficulty getting a deep breath (which is the reason for the original Ativan) so I split a .25 Xanax in half and take that during the day. That's a very small amount but it doesn't make me as tired and evens out my heartbeat.
Avatar f tn t moving and I can tell he is sleeping. He does get up and down from be; restroom, smoking, and to eat, but not much of anything else but watching tv when he is awake. I am at my last end over what is going on. Can anyone help me? He was taking other medication and I was able to get him to give them up because they didn't seem to be helping anyway. The patch doesn't seem to help either in my opinion. sometimes he will take advil or other back pain meds too.
Avatar f tn i have been on remeron in the past made me to fat and as it is my hubby wants me to lose twentyfive pounds i was so depressed yesterday and that was on prozac wellbutrin ritalin and xanx,,i dont really know what to do.........
Avatar n tn I'm on Bupropion 300mg/day and Xanax (0.25 - 0.5mg as needed). Also taking Metoprolol 25mg/day for hypertension. I'd like to ask my doctor to add Fluoxetine to boost my serotonin. Are there any bad side effects from combining these meds?
Avatar m tn I am taking Xanax 0.25 mg in the morning and 0.25 mg in the afternoon and 0.75 mg at night.I wanted to know whether I can merge my morning and afternoon doses of Xanax with my night dose as I am then required by my Pdoc to taper Xanax by 0.125 mg a week(1/2 a 0.25 mg tab).I have reduced my morning and afternoon doses to 0.125 mg each without much side effects but I still feel sleepy with 0.125 mg so would want to move both doses to the night.Is it recommended.All suggestions are welcome.

Avatar f tn but he said thats only if you r prone to seizures...so i went to drug checker and put in all my meds ritalin,xanax and wellbutrin....it says the combo of wellbutrin and ritalin really increases the chance of seizures and so does the xanx..so im scared to take it now,dr also said i could drink a couple beers and i think that increases seizures to.............I have never had a seizure so maybe im worried for nothing ..anyone been on this combo?

Avatar n tn Been using focalin for adhd for 3 years. Previously uses ritalin, concerta, ritalin LA. Taking 10mg twice daily. Recnently been feeling very stressed and anxiety out over nothing. I get irritated easily. Looked into my diet and blood work, etc. They are all ok. Life is ok, otherwise. The doctor said stims can cause this and gave also tenex to take the edge off. Helps a little, but its not right. Is this common for anyone else?
Avatar n tn very over top my mother has fibromyalgia and all she takes is xanax and darvecet very mild pain pill my aunt has also and all she is on is 4 10mg lortabs a day
Avatar f tn If you are suffering from anxiety and need to control it with Xanax, you certainly do not want to use any form of speed, which is what most ADD medications are. You would wind up in a straitjacket. You are very wise to use Xanax only on an as-needed basis. It is extremely addicting. And here is something you might try. When I was suffering the effects of adrenal fatigue, I was told to use Xanax on an as-needed basis, which I did, and it helped enormously. I was given .
Avatar f tn Can I change from xanax 0.5.. to... tranxene 7.5 at once or should it be gradually? I'v been using xanax 0.5 for many years for anxiety about 8 years. Also I use Esgic Plus for migraines, is there any problems combining these medications together? Thank you so much! PS: I am a female 40 and healthy.
Avatar n tn 5/750 (Vicodin) 3x daily and alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5mg 4x daily. Do you have the same pharmacist fill both prescriptions? He/she would be the best person to ask if you have any worries about combining the two medications. The only thing my pharmacist has warned me about with these two medications together is to be sure that I DO NOT take more than my recommended dosages and that I am NOT to drink alcohol with them. The two work really well for me together, too :).
Avatar n tn Please consult your perscribing physcian for a taper schedule from the Xanax. It is one of the most difficult benzos to get off and you need to be under the supervision of your doctor. Xanax has a half-life of 12-15 hours, so every 12-15 hours, 1/2 of your current dose will be out of your system. Continue that equation until all the Xanax has left your body. Your doctor can very quickly tell you if there is any contraindications in combining Xanax and L-trytophan.
Avatar f tn Looked at their ingredients, read posts comparing the two, and came away thinking that basically they are the same. If anything ritalin might be slightly safer. Remember these medications have been used by millions and millions of people so their track record and how they act is well known. It's just they everybody reacts a bit differently and has different needs. It actually sounds like it is working for you.
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 f tn prozac has zapped my sex drive me and hubby havebt had sex bit once since the prozac so dr mentioned he might add wellbutrin later...he also switched me from adderall to ritalin and im on xanx for anxiety.both of these drs told me 2 light beers is ok ..i was reading up on wellbutrin and it says it can cause seizures and alchol could add to the seizure effect...i ask my pharmist and he said thats very rare..
Avatar f tn Yes, because I started on Remeron in April 07 with xanax - and have begun weaning off xanax in October 07. (still taking the mirtazapine/remeron - 30 mg). It's now 4 months later, and I'm on a very low dosage of Xanax and fortunately, the extreme anxiety/trembling that I was suffering from has not returned. Now, I'm trying to discontinue the xanax completely. I wish you good luck with finding the right combination...
1516765 tn?1298060345 s but i do take klonapin xanax when needed recently ritalin and zyprexa. I started by just taking xanax 3-4 months ago at the same time i had a swollen Uvula and had taken zithromax. I started to have stomach issues I know have had a ct scan , ultra sound, urine test, everything normal ..... does anyone else have this i have a lot of acid and they did find sludge in my gallbladder but i dont have the classic gallbladder symptoms. I have undigestedted food in my stool.
Avatar n tn Xanax is used to treat anxiety and not pain. Research shows that if you use an opiate pain reliever with Xanax that it will cause the opiate to work better. Xanax will has always been known to make you sleepy so please do not drive while taking it... It knocks me out sometimes, I have have taken a pretty high dose for years and it is still working as well as it always has... helps me sleep.... in fact, nights when I hurt there is not way that I can sleep without it. Hope this info helps.
Avatar f tn was on adderall for 4 months 10 mg a day and now have switched to ritalin (its a long story) and 5mg not enough so i went up to another 5 a day. Seems to help but i feel abit impatient, given to impatience and easily annoyed lately is anyone experiencing these as sdie effects? I also take celexa and wellbutrin for depression and adderal was introduced because i was becoming depressed again feeling unmotivated and frankly lethargic....i worry i am doing a "bad" thing to my head....
