Mixing seroquel and xanax
Common Questions and Answers about Mixing seroquel and xanax
seroquel
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?
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder with PTSD and I was put on xanax 1mg to take 2 1/2 a day. I was experiencing mainly what my psychiatrist called mania where I would be ridiculously irritable and nervous/shaky. While the xanax took care of most of this, at times I still experience a very bad mood and have anger problems, where I fly off the handle at things that wouldn't bother most people to that extreme.
i m suppose to take 1 depakote during the day, and 1 depakote and 1 seroquel at night i was wondering did anyone every mix these two together and get good results from it or will i become a walking zombie and lose track of time and not be able to function like i should. I am in the last year of college and it is already hard as it is because i am fighting hard to concentrate because of my mood swings, migraines and my concentration period. plz your advice to me is truly welcome.
ve gone through a terrible divorce over the summer and was drinking almost a BIG bottle of wine a night. I would then take my seroquel to go to bed and 1/2 an ambien when i would wake up at 5am. So I had alcoho,seroquel, and ambien in my system in the morning. For the past two says, I have been having major anxiety, massive heart beats/blood pressure/shaked and upset stomach. I think the alcohol needs to be weened off of first and then the ambien.I have been in total panic mode all day.
The knowledge that I have is that xanax and Seroquel do not have an impact on your liver. Also 50 mgs of Seroqeul is very low dose. I am on 600. However it looks like you have hepatitis c and you probably know you shouldn't drink because of that. There are likely a lot of medications that effect your liver. The only ones I know of are Tylenol and pain medicines that contain acetaminophen, but I am sure there are likely a lot more.
I started taking 50mg of Seroquel in December for sleep. Shortly after I began to feel as if I couldn't breathe. I went to the ER and they checked me out and told me it was anxiety. So I saw My nurse practitioner and she prescribed Vistaril 50 mg 3x a day. I room it for a week. Still had the same symptoms. I figured out It was The seroquel. I tried to call the nurse but they are never available so I did not do my homework on this med and quit it cold Turkey.
I understand that mixing Xanax and Alcohol can have serious negative effects. However, my question is mainly about Xanax, and in regard to how long it stays in the system to the point where it is dangerous to mix with alcohol. (i.e., is it dangerous to drink alcohol after 1 day of not taking Xanax?..2 days? etc). Another question, how serious are the long-term effects of drinking alcohol WITH xanax?
before this insodent with taking the seroquel i would normally only take the xanax at night and somtimes in the am if i felt i needed it. Dr. is aware but percribes it for 3 x day because sometimes i would get panic attic in the day. But for a while i didnt take the xanax for about 2 years. I know its not withdrawal from the xanax because i already have stopped taking it before after taking it 3 xday for 2 years and never felt like this just alittle tried.
Thanks for replying. I thought he was giving me the seroquel to help stablize my moods and help with sleep. A replacement for the xanax and ambien. Didn't think the seroquel would react in such a violent way. Took last 2 xanax Moday-a little jittery and sluggish but ok...just scared after reading so much about DONT go cold turkey. He is out of town -so er would the answer.
Thanks....
I doubt it's from the beer if the last time you drank was 6 weeks ago. Are you in therapy? It would probably help if you were getting some sort of counseling for whatever the reason you were prescribed xanax. What are going through right now?
FWIW, drinking with xanax is a good way to kill yourself. My son's best friend recently OD'd and died while mixing xanax and alcohol. He vomited in his sleep and choked to death on his own vomit. I would recommend you do not mix the two.
I recently was on MS Contin (long acting morphine) and my PCP allowed me to take Valium at HS with the MS Contin. Obviously Valium and Xanax are similar. She had me take it first in the day time a few times when my husband was home to see how it would affect me. I did not have a problem with the two medications.
So I think it is a probability that you can take them together but keep in mind that they both depress the respiratory system.
It is a new drug to your body. Mixing benzos and opiates can be deadly. Thats what half (or more ) of these celebrities have been dropping dead from over the years (and of course many, many more normal people too ). Anna Nicole SMith, Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson (although it's not official yet), etc. And are you taking 2-3 lortabs at one dose? or spread out thru the day? if you are taking them all at once, you definitely should not be taking the xanax with it.
I have a borderline personality disorder, but I'm not bipolar (as far as I know) and I'm taking Seroquel (don't know why) and Lexapro (for anxiaty & depression). I've read Seroquel is for bipolar, maniac depression and schizofrenia but I'm not sure which of this three aplies in my case. I cut myself, have burned, starve, binge, make myself throw up, have anxiaty atacks and I am generally depressed.....
I started taking Xanax four months ago for sleep, I developed health anxiety and couldn't sleep. I started out at .5mg then soon was at 1mg before bed. I currently have myself tapered down to .125 mg in the morning and .25mg at night. My problem is I am no longer sleeping. I take clonindine and aetnlol they were helpful with sleep during the beginning of my taper, now not so much. I have seroquel 50mg, my question is has anyone tried this? Did it work?
Have you seen a psychologist first? Paxil can be a tough drug for side effects and for withdrawal, and seroquel doesn't seem like an appropriate drug of first resort for you. Since your symptoms don't seem to be super severe, why not try therapy for awhile? Use meds as a last resort, not a first. They all have their own problems, so if you can get some help through therapy, maybe meditation as well, all the better.
Xanax does not interact significantly with cocaine. If a person came to the ER with anxiety from cocaine, a Xanax-like medication would likely be given to the person.
But I can't really say it is 'safe' to take Xanax after cocaine. The Xanax is not likely to do anything bad, assuming you take it in a reasonable, therapeutic dose. But cocaine is NEVER a 'safe' medication.
I was just thinking, my husband started seroquel last week and has pretty much slept since then. As I already told you, he is bipolar. He no longer has anxiety and when he is awake, he is way more calmer than before.
Soooo, I started to search the web and found out that they give a lot of people going through w/d this drug. More herion users than anyone else....but they have found that it helps with opiod users as well.
Hmmmm, this may have me excited.
I suffer from sleep disorder and anxiety once in a while, i was taking xanax .5mg every night to be able to sleep but now I want to get completely off it. I used to take regular ambien to get a good night rest and everything was fine and dandy. one time I thought I was having freaking heart attack and I felt like bugs were crwaling in my skin, i went over to the E-Room and they told me that I had GAD, this is when Xanax came in to my life.
