Yes you can take another xanaz after four hours cause you have already taken one four hours ago.
But if you have an addicted personality you shouldn't take any strong pills like xanax because you might get addicted faster. Or you can ask your doctor to put you on something else that's not to strong but helps with your pain.

Ativan can be stronger than Xanax. However, it depends on the milligram dosage. Both Ativan and Xanax are anti-anxiety prescription medications.
If switching from 1mg of xanax to Ativan or Valium what would be the equivalant in mgs?
1mg Xanax = 2mg Ativan or 20mg Valium. You also have to consider onset and duration of action. Xanax is very fast-acting but only has a half-life of 6-12 hours. Ativan has a relatively quick onset with a half-life of 10-20 hours. Valium on the other hand, is a slow-acting benzo and stays in your system for days.
Can you change from Xanax to lorazepam?
Yes, they are both benzodiazepines so "crossing over" is possible. It should be noted, however, that Xanax is roughly twice as potent as Ativan and has a much faster half-life so it may seem like the Ativan is not as effective in someone who is used to the rapid onset of Xanax. Of course, some people find that Ativan works better than Xanax for anxiety. It just depends on the person and what your taking it for
I have a pee test in 7 days and 1 took 4 1mg xanax and i have a script for Ativan will the xanax show up or can i pass cause im on the Ativan?
From what I remember xanax has a half life of 48 hours. In 7 days you will be ok. Ativan will have similar metabolites so you ought to be fine either way. IF it makes you anxious drink some water and flush it out.

How long after taking 1mg of Ativan is it safe to have a few beers.. Especially if you only take the Ativan on an as needed basis and not daily?
Alcohol intensifies the effect of benzodiazepines (such as Ativan, Xanax & Klonopin). This can lead to oversedation, incoordination, slurring of speech, and increased risk of falls and accidents.

I've been taking Ativan (another medication in the benzo family) and Claritin together for years and I've never had a problem.
You ran out of your 5 Ativan and you are wondering if you csn tske 5 xnax instead?
Ativan and Xanax do NOT have equivalent dosing.So no, .5 ativan does not equal .5 xanax.Also, Xanax tends to be more sedating and faster acting than ativan; it also (for most people) gets out of your system faster.
