Can you mix Xanax and Demerol together?

Answer 1

Consult a doctor or medical professional. It is not recommended. Again, consult the prescribing doctor or medical professional. "http://psyweb.com/Drughtm/DrughtmAdv/jsp/AdvXanax.jsp" states "Narcotic analgesics of any kind, like Darvon (propoxyphene), Darvocet (propoxyphene, acetaminophen), Demerol (meperidine), Codeine, Percocet (oxycodone, acetaminophen), Vicodin (hydrocodone, acetaminophen), Vicoprofen (hydrocodone and ibuprofen) or OxyContin (oxycodone) may accelerate central nervous system or respiratory depression when taken with Xanax. Also, Xanax may decrease the effectiveness of these medications as pain relievers." and recommends asking your doctor's advice before combining these drugs.

Answer 2

For most opiate tolerant patients, yes. Prescribed dosages of Demerol are typically much stronger than Hydrocodone (Vicodin), but they aren't typically prescribed together unless the Hydrocodone is being used as a breakthrough drug for pain and the patient needs a stronger med to augment the lower one if the pain has increased to the point where the breakthrough med isn't working at normal dosages. Higher dosages of a less-potent drug are just harder on the system (particularly your stomach) than a stronger one at lower dose that can do the job better.
