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.

Does Xanax and Ativan metabolize the same way?

No. Like most benzodiazepines, Xanax is metabolized by hepatic oxidation and Ativan by conjugation (one of few benzos to break down this way). For this reason, Ativan (being less "harsh" on the liver), is often preferred in individuals with liver disorders or elderly patients)

Does Xanax have morphine or codine?

No, Xanax does not contain codeine. The active ingredient in Xanax is AKA Alprazoam, and the rest is filler ingredients. Codeine is a pain killer, Xanax is a benzo. Completely unique medications for completely unique conditions. Stay away from both unless you are prescribed them by a doctor. Codeine can damage your kidneys, and Xanax is highly addictive.

Will drinking lots of water help flush xanax ecstasy or oxycodons out of your system?

No.Drinking more water or using purifier pills will not flush Xanax or Oxycodon out of your system. Each dose of Xanax or Oxycodon dissolves in the tissues throughout the body. And the concentration of the drug tends to be equal in tissue and blood. Blood takes the drug through the kidneys where it is metabolized and then it is taken out of the body with urine. At the same time, blood washes out some more medication out of tissue, and the process goes on. The concentration of the medications in tissue will always be aproximately equal to their concentration in blood, no matter how much water you take in. You cannot affect the amount of Xanax or Oxycodon in the tissues by drinking more water because drinking water does not affect the half life of the medications (6-12 hours for Xanax, and about 4 hours for Oxycodone). Half life is determined by the rate of metabolization. The kidneys cannot metabolize larger doses than they physically can, and Xanax or Oxycodon are unable to get out of the system without being metabolized.


Does the drug xanax cause long term damage to the liver if taking at 0.25 mg 3 times a day for 19 years?

We have found no indications in the literature that Xanax causes liver damage. However, people with reduced liver function may not metabolize the drug as efficiently, causing the blood levels of Xanax to exceed the optimum therapeutic level. Alcohol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), especially those containing acetaminophen, such as Tylenol, Vicodin and Percocet, are the most common causes of liver damage. Even small doses of acetaminophen in combination with alcohol can cause serious damage, making two Tylenol and a beer a deadly hangover "cure."


Does Prozac make Xanax stronger?

Prozac is an SSRI, a specific serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Xanax is a sedative. Prozac works by slowing the breakdown of serotonin, therefore increasing the quantity in the synapse and your brain. Xanax works by slowing down the nerve impulses (I think). One doesn't make the other stronger, but prozac might get metabolized first by the liver, causing an increase in blood xanax levels. Talk to your pharmacist.
