Alprazolam (Xanax) and methadone are highly addictive narcotics, both physically and psychologically. These two drugs should never be 'mixed' or even taken relatively close to one another unless the reaction is literally being monitired by a doctor and/or medical staff. I am an addict and I know from experience how dangerous this combination can be, trust me; you're playing with fire.

I'm on methadone mantinece and xanax 1mg 2x a day and they just did a test and sent out for breakdown, they are telling me valum came up in the test and i have NO clue why, someone please explain why this could have happened?

Hello and welcome. Yes that is an extremely high dosage of methadone. Xanax and methadone are both respiratory And central nervous system depressants. They are very dangerous to take together. With that being said you need to start to taper off of both meds. A proper taper will take about a year. Are you seeing a counselor and attending support groups? There is freedom from the chains and bondage of addiction. Keep the faith.

If you have Xanax in your system, they may drop you and a CT detox of methadone will be pretty miserable.

I just kept reading horror stories about methadone and xanax though. scared the heck outta me! Sooooo, hopefully if I can take my darn xanax so I can sleep, I can stay at the LOWEST dosage of norco possible for my tapering that I desperately am trying to do. thanks again and I wish I would've listened in the 1st place about the methadone. EVIL drug and I'm almost glad it disagreed with me as much as it did.

well I was on xanex b/4 I got on methadone and was on 4mg a day the real problem was how it interacts with methadone both suppress your respiratory and together can be deadly....the clinic always had issues with it one time I was on 150mg of methadone and something happened at the clinic and they wanted to drop my methadone down to 100mg without a taper or anything ...after a long conversation with my phyic doctor it blew over ...

1 2013 an said she was changing and going into rehab , but little did I know she had got her hands on methadone and KNOWING it kills people she took it and Xanax! And it took her life and not just hers but mine and my sisters and my brothers and her husband~who can barely go on day to day without her!:( Its WILL kill you she had taken the combination a dozen times, but this time it took her! She had very high tolerance but she couldn't hold up to it!

Please help I got on methadone 4 years ago due to oxycontin and hydrocodone addiction that had been going on for 6 years......I was up close to 100mgs and have weaned down to 60mgs of methadone. I want off so bad and to top it off I have severe panic attacks and never dealt with my underlying issues regarding the addiction so I started abusing the xanax my Psychiatrist gave me.

Can you please tell me if you can take Nexium 40mg. and Zantac 75mg. together or on the same day. My GI doctor has me on Nexium 40mg. and my PCP wants me to take Zantac 75mg. at night before I go to bed. Is it safe, and can I take it with Xanax 1mg. I have GERDS and Barrett's Esophagus. And they both think it mjght be causing these little pinpoint pimples in my mouth, tongue, and throat.

I really hope this will help!

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.......

Today I was prescribed ambien and was afraid to take it not knowing if I should wean off the Xanax first. Anyone know if it will be fine to just stop the Xanax all together and start the ambien? Any advice?

I was put on Zoloft at first and then switched a few years ago to 40mg of Paxil along with 25mg of Xanax daily. I still feel anxiety and depression, however, and am afraid these drugs no longer work or that I have become immune to their effects. Should I be expecting the dosages of these medications to change over time? Is it normal to prescribe these drugs together? I am also on toprol for my blood pressure. A different perspective on these drugs would help. Thank you.

I was just diagnosed with an autoammune disease and don't want to take plaquenil just yet. Doctor said to take celebrex and a muscle relaxer. I have been taking 1 mg of xanax for 3 weeks and before that it was about twice a week as needed. I was having such anxiety and sleep issues rhemy said to take it every day. Now 3 weeks later she wants to try the new coctail of celebrex and muscle relaxer.

I have have been on methadone & zanax for 7yrs 40mg methadone & 31/2 mg zanax and slowly tappering off the methadone 5mg a week to reach 30mg to get on bupenorphen for 1to2 months so i can get off methadone because of longer w/d so i have heard i would appriciate any info thanks

With the amount of oxy he was taken sub might not work, the dose can only go so high and then it actually acts as anti-opiate, the oens used in overdoses, whereas methadone is a full agonist and you can go higher and higher whatever you need to make you comfortable and stable. both give you a mild buzz, and both are complete hell to get off of. sub is just as hard no matter what anyone else says. its just as hard as methadone, its opiate withdrawal times two months. it *****.

I'm so sorry that you're having such a hard time. Have you considered finding an Al-Anon meeting, which is the support group for family members of addicts? You'll find a lot of people who understand what you're going through, will never judge you or your son, but will try to help you deal with all that is going on in your life.

My Adderall is 20mg. methadone 5mg, Xanax 1.0mg and hydrocodone 10mg. Really need answers as to if it is okay to take all these at same time. Please help me out quick as possible?

Here's some info about methadone and Xanax: · Dying from an overdose of benzodiazepines alone is rare. Risk of overdose increases when benzo- diazepines are combined with other sedatives, such as alcohol or barbiturates, or with medications containing codeine or other opioid drugs. Possible overdose symptoms include slurred speech, confusion, severe drowsiness, weakness and staggering, slow heartbeat, breathing problems and unconsciousness.
