methadone xanax combination

Warning - if you are in a program where you go get your methadone each day etc, you better tell them. My husband was on xanax and they thru a fit at the clinic snd ended up discharging him from the program. Guess it is part of the gov't regulations. No benzos. He gave them hus prescription list at intact then they random tested him and kucked him off. So run it by them first.

Benzos are not narcotics; they are a different class of drugs. Xanax and methadone shouldn't be taken together because the combination can cause respiratory distress. Where do you get your methadone? I'd be more worried about getting tested from your methadone provider. If you have Xanax in your system, they may drop you and a CT detox of methadone will be pretty miserable.

I'm currently in a methadone maintanance progrm. I started abusing xanax now I want to know how to detox off the xanax?

This combination (methadone and xanax) killed my 24 y/o brother in October 2014. Definitely wasn't his first time around the block, but it was his last. Don't mix the two. Please.

Mixing methadone xanax and klonopin can be a fatal combination .Try to convince him to speak to his doctor about what he should do .

Does the doc who prescribed the Methadone know you take Klonopin too? Methadone and benzos mixed together is typically not recommended, due to the risk of respiratory depression, and even respiratory arrest. That being said, in some cases, docs will be okay with the combination if the doses are small enough, and if the medications aren't taken all of the time, or are taken short term. This is something you definitely need to discuss with your doctor before mixing them again.

Hi everybody and Merry Christmas by the way, I just want to ask , is it easier to come off valium than xanax or does it depend on the person or what, Right now I'm on Methadone for pain, (Arthritis and bone spurs in feet) and xanax for stress at my job, I'm out of work right now so I desperately want off the xanax then eventually the methadone, any advise?

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.

m only familiar with the interactions of Xanax and methadone. Additional information is needed for you,that combination alone will cause respiratory failure or distress. significant numbers of people who abuse these medications also get involved in the abuse of common prescription substances called benzodiazepines. In a study published in May 2014 in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, researchers from several U.S.

I take 95mg of methadone a day. I take 8 mg klonipins a day. I also take 1mg xanax as needed. Am I in any danger?

I just saw the prescriptions that my mother is taking. Methadone, Oxycodone, Klonipin and Tramadal. If she is taking all 4 of these drugs I suspect she needs to be professionally detoxed. She has been loaded for years now. She really can't function anymore. Any suggestions? She has fibromyalgia. I don't buy it, but, this is her story. Is this typical to prescribe this combination?? It seems over the top to me.

Combining Xanax, Klonopin, or Valium with an opioid pain reliever can be a dangerous combination, especially if you are taking methadone for pain. Despite this danger, myself and many others safely take a benzodiazepine with a strong opioid pain reliever with no ill effects. It is important to taper the dose down as the strength of the opioid goes up. Valium is a very potent muscle relaxer, much more so than Flexeril, and in many cases, Soma as well.

Sometimes when things happen in our life we just want to be numb and not feel the pain. How much methadone do u take? Also, be careful taking the xanax with methadone it can be deadly. Sending u lots of support........

Methadone and Xanax is a potentially lethal combination, as I'm sure you know. It's hard to know how much is too much, as we don't hear from the ones that don't make it. My son was one of those (1 year ago, age 27), and I have some idea of what he was taking. On one of his (survived) OD's, he took 1600 mg of methadone and I don't know how much Xanax (he often combined them).

05 kolpin now if so just be very careful on methadone and that I had friend that od on 1 1mg xanax and 65mg methadone and that was it. Wishing you the best an may God Bless you.

s and methadone is a deadly combination. Ive lost a few friends to xanax + methadone. And personally, I got some pot to smoke during those weeks because your not going to want to be doing much. But, I hope it all goes well for you. It's not easy, but its totally worth it in the end. Best of hope!

I've struggled with methadone and xanax addiction for about 4 years. Most of this has been illegal use, but I am now attending my third methadone clinic. I don't have a prescription for the xanax, so I have to get off it. The clinic reduces my methadone dose 5mgs every 2 weeks if I keep testing dirty for benzos. I was taking 2 bars a day but have tapered down to half a bar the past few days, which is 1 mg.

xanax and methadone are both respiratory and central nervous system depressants and should never be taken together. it is dangerous.

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.

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.

Have you discussed with your doctor the risk of combining xanax and methadone? I was on a different benzo when on methadone but I also smoked at the time so I think that had something to do with the issues I had.

I would go back on the xanax and taper on the methadone, once you are off those then start on the xanax, you are trying to put your little body through too much at once...take care, keep us informed...
