Topamax and xanax interaction

Common Questions and Answers about Topamax and xanax interaction

topamax

Avatar n tn i am just starting to take a low dose of topamax at 50mg a day and not going to increase to more than 100mg a day and i am wondering if this will interfere with my lutera pills?? i have read that it lowers the effectiveness but i have also read that it doesnt happen until you reach doses of 200mg or more. i have also heard that by increasing your birth control dose you can help the effectiveness and my doctor specifically prescribed lutera because it has a higher dosage than most BC.
Avatar m tn I've been taking Topamax 50mg-100mg daily and I have been also taking Yasmin. The two were told to me to be ineffective when used together, so I've been using a back up method of condoms. I'm unhappy with this so my OBGYN switched me to Zovia, which I do not like. My question is, could YAz and Topamax at 50-100mg, be taken together?
Avatar f tn Although Topamax is primary metabolized via the cyp450-3A4 and Welbutrin is is primary metabolized via the cyp450-2B6, there is some secondary drug/drug interaction between them. It is not a major interaction but can cut the effectiveness of one or both of the medications. Typically, when we have someone on anti-depressants that also suffers from migraines, we co-prescribe Gabitril (available as generic Tiagabine ) which is not to be confused with Gabapentin.
1810386 tn?1405549577 Amitriptyline and Tramadol is horible interaction leading to Serotonine Syndrome. Had it once, before surgery. any SSRI is evil with Tramal. brrrrrrr.
Avatar f tn t know how anyone could reliably determine if she is having a reaction to the mix of those or not, but my question is who determined that she needed the Topamax, Amtriptyline and now Maca Root and hot flash herbal vitamins? Also, it wasn't clear. Is she taking all those other supplements? If so, why would you think she needs all those? Personally I'd be very leery of taking what you ordered. Last for now, why did you post on a Thyroid Forum?
Avatar f tn I take the synthyroid (complete thyroidectomy Dec 2008) and coumadin (DVT) at the same time and then 1 1/2 hrs later, I take topamax (migraine) and protonix (GERD). Is this enough time between each?
Avatar f tn I am on TOPAMAX and do not have an issue with hair loss....not everyone will have a side effect from the meds...and sometimes there can be an interaction if u r on another med...check with ur dr or pharmacist to be sure and always report all side effects asap .
Avatar f tn How many hrs were between the dose of fluconazle and Xanax ? I feel like death and I took the fluconazle one pill at 8 am and it's now 11 pm and feel like total blahhh!!!
Avatar n tn Hi, I use to take Klonapin which is like xanax and I use proventil. I never had a problem with it, but if you're worried you should ask your Dr. or pharmacist.
Avatar m tn You need to consult a doctor about your withdrawal from the Xanax. The new doctor should have reviewed your record and should have prescribed a substitute to what you were taking knowing this could be an Issue.
Avatar f tn My current md said there is interaction between amitriptylline and topamax and also compazine which i take as needed. I do lortab for the pain, but i am afraid to take the topamax rx'd for "migraines" i don't think they are migraines. I was thinking i should call tci tomorrow and see if i could run this all by dr shelat or dr insigna.
Avatar f tn I went to a pain management clinic for over 15 years but I cannot find a new clinic that will accept me because I take Xanax AND I CANNOT COME OFF THEM I have tried several times. My psychiatrist has even written a letter to some clinics stating I cannot come off of the Xanax but they still refuse to take me and want to put me on Suboxone and I do not know what to do. I CANNOT TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE.
Avatar f tn Do you think that from just after 2 weeks off and on xanax and Ativan (never more than .5 xanax or 1.5mg ativan a night) I could be having rebound anxiety? I talked to my doc today about the topamax and she said that if it was going to cause problems with my mood it would have months ago and says that most likely it is due to anxiety. I have panic disorder also :( she suggested 20 mg paxil. I have NOT told her about my drug abuse. I'm so ashamed. That is why I have posted on here.
Avatar m tn Right now the headaches are really bad that im still taking excedrine a lot and i was thinking topamax will do something at least a lil bit on the first week so i can stop taking excedrine but omg this is bad.
Avatar f tn I am prescribed xanax for anxiety (recently for anxiety and panic attacks) and I got doxycycline hyclate for a sinus infection yesterday from a small clinic. I completely forgot to ask if there was an interaction between these two drugs. I may not even have to take the xanax, only if I have a panic attack will I. Does anyone know if there is an interaction between these two?
Avatar f tn I have like 9 diagnoses... but I identify mostly as a borderline bipolar. I'm on Xanax, seroquel, and topamax. I cut out Xanax but I'm scared to get off my other two. My therapist suggested ECT as a treatment option during pregnancy. I've been in treatment with people receiving this and it scares me. I'm scared I'm going to have a retarded child BC of my meds. Have any of you known anyone on these? Been on these while pregnant? Please help.
Avatar n tn When I read the info that went with it and looked up info on line it said something about interacting with asthma meds and meds for the urinary tract. I have asthma and take flovent and xopenex I also have interstitial cystitis so therefore I take Elmiron. I have no idea if the doctor read my list of meds or not. But I do not want to take this if there is going to be an interaction. I also take thyroid meds-- armour and have endometriosis so I will take Advil and Tylenol for the pain from endo.
1570981 tn?1295831355 It says something about the interaction of these two drugs. And my english arent that good to translate the meaning of the words. " Fluvoxamine may also inhibit the elimination and increase the blood levels of theophylline (Theodur, Uniphyl), warfarin (Coumadin), alprazolam (Xanax), and triazolam (Halcion)." - from the web. what does this means? help!!!
Avatar m tn Is it possible these symptoms are being caused by Xanax withdrawal or interaction between Xanax and Dramamine or Azithromiacin (antiabiotic). Most of the muscle buzzing, muscle twitches and insomnia started after mixture of Dramamine and Xanax.
Avatar f tn Up until about a week ago I was on Hydrocortizone, Levoxyl, Humatrope, Enpresse (a Birth Control), and Topamax. Now last week I saw a new neuro for some seizure medicine complications and he is going to wean me off the Topamax and slowly put me on Lamictal, which I have begun, I am only on 25mg right now. Today I had a very small amount of alcohol, a mixed rum beverage, which I mixed myself, and I felt absolutley awful.
1225279 tn?1295545587 progressively stop medications, especially lamictal and topamax, verapamil and vicodin.
689327 tn?1240229164 some tests have shown that grapefruit and its juices can inhibit certain enzymes in the stomach which help to metabolize xanax and therefor can lead to uncertain amounts of the drug in the blood, specifically plasma.
1655449 tn?1302089876 I have numerous medical conditions including bipolar disorder,depression,social anxiety,osteoarthritis,degenerative disc disease,spondylosis,and spondylothesis.I take Depakote and Xanax for the mental illnesses.I also had gastric bypass surgery 9 years ago.My pre surgery weight was 379 and within 1 1/2 years I got down to 180.After being diagnosed bipolar 3 years ago and starting the Depakote,I gained back 70 lbs which has put a major strain on my back condition.
266195 tn?1215310411 I'm currently taking xanax, and will start prozac tomorrow. Does anyone know of any possible interaction between xanax and prozac taken together? My doctor says he's not aware of anything, But I just wanted to get some opinions from people who may have first hand knowledge or know of someone who does. So I guess do benzos and ssri's mix well? I really need the xanax untill the prozac can kick in.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your helpful reply, my psychiatrist prescribed the Axit and my GP the Xanax, that is why I was unsure and wanted to check about using them together. I have now seen my GP and she says it is okay.
