Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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...
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for your candid response. I know he is tapered at 30 ml at the clinic and is stabalized at tha for now bc he couldn't take the withdrawals (I go with him to the clinic and his counseling sessions, not as a watchdog but as his support), but was at 150 ml about a year ago.
Avatar f tn Methadone is not recommended to be mixed with any benzo's while on the methadone as they are both central nervous system depressents...they are speaking of using benzos like xanax after you have stopped the methadone and are in WDs....I have never taken methadone but my son worked at a clinic and if the person tested positive for benzos they could not have their dose and it was against the rules...You should talk to your doctor about any medications u decide to use...
Avatar m tn Just be careful mixing the xanax with the methadone. To much Xanax with your opioids can cause death.

1843491 tn?1322859611 this have been going on for about 8 months now. If it is the benzos and not the methadone(im at 20 mgs), then when i get off the xanax will i get my memory back????
1170294 tn?1263316807 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.
Avatar m tn I'm on methadone and Xanax, changing doctors this month... I actually quit the methadone for a bit; then, required another surgery and got back on it. Anyway, that's kinda what it sounds like. I went cold turkey, felt like I was dying (kinda wanted to). I was hot then cold, restless but tired, sometimes a bit disoriented, agitated at times, etc... I went to Health Hut, & was totally upfront about it, the girl gave me a few things for the stress and tension.
Avatar n tn I'm currently on Xanax 8mg per day.I also am prescribed Lora tab 5/500,Flexeral 5mg 4 times a day ,and my anti psychotics.I recently had a core decompression operation on my hip.i have also had 3 shoulder operations.I was given Norco 7.5/325 after my hip surgery.The Ortho surgeon recently referred me for a pain management clinic.My Question is will they try too take me off any of my current meds?(not including the Loratabs,they do not help anyways)Thanks!
Avatar m tn I will tell you that mixing methadone with other drugs you are abusing,especially benzos [the xanax] can be a fatal mixture and THAT could kill him.It's really not possible for us to tell you what his dose should be.If we knew what type of drugs and how much he was taking PRIOR to the methadone we may be able to give you an educated guess.The fact is though the dosage amount of the methadone is not really the issue here.
Avatar f tn He has gotten a prescription for Xanax from a doctor who knows his methadone intake, and at a very low dose for anxiety. However, he got the prescription while already self medicating with Xanax he gets off the street or from my prescription (I have GAD and PTSD and have a steady alprazolam script), he says he uses to help him deal with strong withdrawals he's getting from tapering.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn So you are off Xanax cold turkey after 8 years and they knew it? How much Xanax were you taking? Was it a small dose?
Avatar f tn xanax and methadone are both respiratory and central nervous system depressants and should never be taken together. it is dangerous.
Avatar m tn If you have Xanax in your system, they may drop you and a CT detox of methadone will be pretty miserable.
563594 tn?1309583132 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.
Avatar f tn Thats a lot of xanax to take and to go without can cause sezures especially if she is prone to them, She needs to see a dr asap and get this taken care of. She needs to be treated for epilepsy and then slowly weaned off the xanax. She is gonna harm herself if she doesnt get some help soon.
Avatar f tn vicki is spot on about methadone and xanax. I have been on methadone for 7 years and every doctor I`ve ever talked to has said that methadone and xanax is a bad mix. It is also true that tapering is the safest thing at his level. He needs to get to a much lower dose if he wants to go CT. Methadone withdrawls last a long time and the higher the dose, the worse the withdrawls are. Also check out the Thomas Recipe.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn U can try ur plan and if u r abusing then flush em//it can be very empowering. be safe with the xanax as xanax wd makes narc wd look like a picnic. 2 mgs is a large xanax dose btw...dont use anymore than u need..and flush them too when u r done if u can. I am confused...at the end of ur post u mention methadone? which narc is ur doc? what is ur dose of methadone? methaodne should be tapered due to wicked wds for some....

Avatar n tn HE JUST STARTED THIS CLINIC 2 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE HE HAD A DOCTOR FOR 12 YEARS AND WE HAD TO GET NEW INSURANCE AND SHE DOESNT TAKE OUR INSURANCE WE HAVE NOW SO AFTER ALL OF THOSE YEARS HE WENT TO HER SHE WAS GIVING HIM 480 10 MGS METHADONE PILLS A MONTH AND 150 XANAX 1MG SO HE WOULD TAKE 160MGS METHADONE A DAY AND 5 1MGS XANAX A DAY BUT SHE TOLD US WE HAD TO FIND A NEW DOCTOR THAT WOULD TAKE OUR INS.
Avatar m tn He keeps telling me that he wants to get off the methadone and the xanax, but keeps. I am fearful that he will never get off the xanax. He went cold turkey in May and had every bad withdrawel problem's. I know he should probably be in an in-patient clinic setting. I have heard it takes any where from 3 months to years to finally get offo xanax. I read an article that if you take topamax and kolnipin it should help with withdrawels????
