You Black out with generally very little alcohol consumption
Agreed but this is a very general answer. If you take a 5mg and drink a beer you probably won't notice it depending on your tolerance. If you take a 20mg and drink a 12 pack you will black out like you have never blacked out before. It's all in terms of perspective.
Drinking alcohol when taking Xanax should be done very carefully . . . have a glass of wine, have a beer, but not hard liquor.
The reason is that alcohol will unpredictably boost the effects of the Xanax, and an overdose can happen with little warning and lead to death.
Although some people do it and get away with it, alcohol should never be mixed with benzodiazepines or any other depressant drug. The folks who didn't get away with it have died, had seizures, and had medical procedures disrupted because doctors didn't know about it ahead of time. One lucky girl just collapsed, and was in a coma for ten years before she finally died. Karen Quinlan...look it up.
Taking Xanax with alcohol *will* increase the effects and side effects of the Xanax. It is highly recommended that you avoid taking both at all times, no exceptions.
This is a potentially dangerous interaction the manufacturer warns against. Don't mix these two.
Taking them together is definitely not recommended.
The severity of any negative side effects depends on the dosage.
yes,but be careful!
You should not take Xanax and alcohol together. You never want to drink alcohol while taking medication, specially these types of medications.
You have no pulse.
get to a hospital right away. it is hard to die from an overdose on xanax unless it is mixed with alcohol or other drugs but def. possible. don't ever take something like that lightly. error on the side of cation when someone's life is on the line.
Anything more than your prescribed dose is an overdose.
To reverse benzodiazepine (Valium, Xanax etc) overdose.
A person should not mix Ativan and Xanax. This is because the two drugs work with the body in the same way and could cause an overdose.
They can die.
In case of suspected alcohol overdose or toxicity, go to the nearest emergency room. This is a very serious and lethal condition.
not painfull at all... considering u would be dead or in a coma
It can be lethal to take an overdose of sedatives with or without alcohol.
no, i have taken them both together before
It is nearly impossible to commit suicide with a Xanax overdose. What would happen instead might be organ damage (brain, kidneys, liver). You might also pass out for two days, disturbing blood circulation and adequate breath intake.
