Paxil and valium together

Common Questions and Answers about Paxil and valium together

paxil

Avatar n tn And Paxil gives more people a rough time upon stopping than any other antidepressant other than Effexor (and, ahem, Cymbalta). Your friend should have been tapered off the Paxil, and maybe was, but if not, and even if your friend was, there's a lot going on now possibly, too much for us to say which is which.
Avatar n tn Paroxetine is the generic for Paxil and Alprazolam is the generic for Xanax. Is it normal to be taking Paxil and Xanax at the same time?
Avatar f tn Hi my name is Mike, im 30, and have two beautiful children ( a newborn baby boy and 11 year old daughter). I have been on suboxone for about 2 years now 8mg a day ( half in morning half at night) , and klodipin 1mg once or twice a day. I recently decided enuff is enuff with the suboxone, and decided a couple days ago to ween myself off. My question is: My new doctor just took me off the klodipin's 2 days ago, because I get really bad panic, and anxiety attacks more then 3 times a day.
Avatar f tn After recovering from breast cancer, I was prescribed a series of medications to treat depression and anxiety. 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?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with severe panic disorder with associated depression, agoraphobia, insomnia and generalized anxiety. I have for the past 3-4 years taken Valium Paxil and Xanax. Recently I was asked by my Primary to take a urinalysis. It showed the Valium and the metobolic breakdown, the Paxil wasn't tested for however my Xanax came up negative. I have absolutely no idea how that is possible as I take as directed.

Avatar f tn I take 12 mg of Klonopin, 150 mg of Trazadone and 40 mg of Paxil a day. Does that seem right?
Avatar m tn ) I have been tapering valium since June last year (did crossover from Klonopin/Ashton method) and started Zoloft in June (25mg) and upped it to 50mg in August. I have held the valium taper since August due to diarrhea and decided to taper zoloft but now I am not sure which to taper first. I am at 6.5mg valium down from 12.5mg (was c/t in August also from 9mg and reinstated to 7mg almost immediately).
Avatar f tn my daughter is very anxious so the dr put her on both the cymbalta 30 mg with the paxil of 20 for one week and then 15 paxel for another week and then 10 paxil and increase to 60 cymbalta. she had a brain trauma in a car accident and has to deal with alot so is this too much. she had a seizure on the ultram but she took too many at one time for a headache..
Avatar f tn Hi, I recently took Valium and it worked for me to help calm anxiety and depression (I only took this pill before bed)...however, the prescription was just for a surgery and I was told that Klonopin would be a good alternative to the Diazepam...however, I am concerned about the addictive quality of that pill and the weight gaining side effects...I was also given a prescription of low dose amitriptyline and found that it also can cause weight gain.
875778 tn?1240408177 am now 50. I have taken 5 ml valium for last 30 years without dosage getting higher. I am now on paxil and I hardly ever need to take them. As long as you don't let yourself go over limit you can do it. I also took breaks when I was pregnant twice. It can be done, you just have to limit yourself. Like I take 1 and if i'm really in a bad way I tkae 2 but that is rare that I will go to 2 and I don't take them everyday.
Avatar n tn I was currently on Leaxpro and just got changed to Paxil and Klonopin. I also take propranolol for my heart twice a day. Is it safe for these medications to be taken together?
219373 tn?1274921434 i have a 10 year old daughter who was recently diagnosed with aspergers, severe GAD, depression and sever insomnia. she is currently taking meletonin, clonidine and paxil. just prior to having her testing in which she was diagnosed with these she was on adderall for suspected ADD and the adderall was very effective for her concentration and focus, making schoolwork and chores etc much less stressful and frustrating.
1386506 tn?1279613689 t have withdrawl,but please call your prescribing doctor and let them know what is going on and that you want off the paxil and they will advice you as to what is safe. Good luck and I hope you feel better!
1386506 tn?1279613689 I am a mother of a 4 year old son and he is the love of my life. I want soooo badly to be the best mother that I can be but it makes it hard when I am put on so many meds. I suffer from severe anxiety, depression, and chronic pain from endometriosis. So, my doctor prescribed me 20mg of paxil and it made my life hell!!! I only took it for 5 days and now I can't sleep, I have restless leg syndrom, and severe anxiety that runs from my lower back up to my spine.
Avatar f tn I like you suffered from only a few anxiety attacks, and my doctor wanted me to be on Paxil. I took it on a Tuesday morning, and felt like i was high for 2 days straight, which made me go to the emergency room because it wsa making me go crazy. i only took a 10mg, tablet. Not to mention, that it was affecting my entire day because i felt so messed up. I will tell you that i honestly can't stand the feeling of being high or (not in control).
Avatar f tn hi, I just started taking Paxil abt 7 weeks ago, DR. also gave me .25 xanax to help me sleep..I had gone without insurance for 2 years , and in that time I called it "the dark hole" really really depressed...I just got insurance, went right to the Dr..he put me on 20 mg paxil..things felt a little better even in the beginning..now i feel like I have some of the same old feelings..depressed, anxiety bad..etc..
Avatar m tn I take 30mg of Paxil once daily and find it to be fairly effective. I have been on it for a year and a half now and find it has less side effects than the 150mg/effexor I was on for years before hand.
718468 tn?1232414447 You're Dr. is basically the same as most. He is watching his *** but also he is correct about the benzo vs. meds like paxil or my personally used lexapro. I've been on Xanax for 1 year and have tried Klonipin and Valium. Valium I got off of quickly bc of the same reason I don't take tamazapam (sp?) any more. It does in fact work well in taking away the anxiety but it makes the user VERY tired. Plus the tolerance goes up twice as fast as Xanax.
Avatar f tn I took paxil three years ago for two years.I was on a low dose. It was horrible coming off it. I was dizzy for 8 weeks.I was afraid to go up and down stairs.Also I would cry all the time.But heres the good part.After the 8 weeks I was O.K. I finally could loose weight and I felt normal .Have not taken anti-deppresents in almost 4 years.I take valium once in a while.Before my disc surgery I took valium because I was scared ----- and I did'nt want to take anti-d-s again.Good-luck!
Avatar n tn ve been taking 10 mg paxil and 0.25 xanax, everyday for two years in the morning at 1040 and 540 then paxil 10 mg at night. If i stop taking the xanax i feel wierd. i read the withdrawl am so scared. I rather take paxil than xanax. I want to at least get off xanax but don't want withdrawls. what should I do? I think am addicted to them.
Avatar f tn As soon as she raised it to one half the side effects returned and I never felt any relief for my anxiety so she stopped it all together. I feel so much better when I am just on the Klonipin by itself, a little tired and drowsy but that is something I can put up with. Any med suggestions would be helpful! Thank you in advance.
Avatar m tn Have been on Ativan for 5 weeks,starting at 4 mg a day for 3 weeks,now down to 2,but I`m kinda shakey, and display minor withdrwal symptoms.Changing over to Valium today,10mg a day,and starting Zoloft,25mg. Question....once the Zoloft kicks in,I believe as early as a week or so,will it help ease the Ativan,Valuim withdrwal. Also,I don`t reallly have much in the way of info as to managing these drugs.Should I stay at 10mg Valuim for a few days,then try to continue tapering down....
Avatar m tn Even I took Pindolol which reduces Blood pressure (Beta Blocker) 10 mg and 20 mg of valium in the morning for anxiety and IT NEVER HELPED and my blood pressure was still high. Now I read Paxil withdrawal narrows Blood Vessels and it increases or releases cholesterol and can do many dangerous things to cardiovascular system and can be deadly. What the HEK DO I DO ????
Avatar f tn I have taken the two of them together with no problems. I now take Propanolol and Citolopram and still no problems. Propanolol is used to treat anxiety, high BP, cluster headaches, tremors, aids in sleeping, and maybe more. It has a short life which means it doesn't stay in your system very long, probably much like the Xanax. But they're safe together.
190885 tn?1333025891 One of the nasty treatment side effects is insomnia. Paroxetine (Paxil) is also prescribed to help restore the sleep cycle. But it's not successful in everyone. Some people get a bit wired on the drug, and for them it's not appropriate. Others get sleepy and calmed, and for them it can be helpful. In the latter case, it's often prescribed along with a valium analogue for sleep.
Avatar n tn It's making you what???did you mean black out? Ummmm, what I think is that your overmedicated. 1mg is my max dose for the day and that's a lot! taking that 3 times a day is too much.. Anyone will tell you that. Don't try to just stop taking it either - your body is physically dependent on Xanax at this point. I know because my body is dependent on the 1mg/day. Benzos are weird drugs.
733362 tn?1489794936 t allow hydro and valium together. Sounds like a lie to me. I have terminal pulmonary fibrosis and the valium does suppress breathing. Without night o2 my oxygen blood sat gets into the 70s at night, Im pretty sure thats why he wants me off them. He wanted me to get off them in a 2 week taper, thats BS. Lucky for me I had the 80 valium in the hole and I got the 30, 5s from another Doctor. I did tell her everything so I'm not scamming anybody.
