Can you take Xanax and oxycodone together?

Answer 1

Yes. I had to call the pharmacy myself about this one and he said it was ok. My question to him was actually if you can take an oxycodone(percocet) and a xanax and then phenegran ( for the nausea that percocet gives me). He said yes, it would just make you really really tired. I asked can you take them all at the same time and he said it was best to wait a little bit between taking the xanax and then taking the other two. No particular order of which to take first.

***However: ALWAYS monitor CRS (respiratory system). This combination causes respiratory depression. Severe respiratory depression can lead to suffocation/death. (i.e. Heath Ledger) Essentially, this means "you stop breathing"***

Answer 2

The combination of oxycodone and Xanax has the potential to kill. The drugs have a synergistic effect. They are both depressants, and slow your breathing down together more than either do apart. They can be used safely together, but always should be started at a dose significantly less than would be done when used independently of each other, typically, a half dose is used. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist for more information on your medication needs.
