A Good way to get off of Xanax Bars is to Slowly decrease the amount that you take every 2 weeks so you wont suffer from any withdrawals.

I was taking 1mg, Four times a day for 5 Years = 4mg per day

Here is the method that worked for me:

1mg, Three times a day for 2 weeks = 3mg per day

1mg, Two times a day for 2 weeks = 2mg per day

0.5mg, Three times a day for 2 weeks = 1.5mg per day

0.5mg, Two times a day for 2 weeks = 1mg per day

NOTE: At this point, I used 0.5mg Xanax Tablets so I could break them in half to make 0.25mg pieces.

0.25mg, Three times a day for 2 weeks = 0.75mg per day

0.25mg, Two times a day for 2 weeks = 0.5mg per day

0.25mg, Once per day for 2 or 3 weeks = 0.25mg per day

At this point, I was able to stop without having any withdrawals.

Good Luck !!

I would encourage you to wean off slowly, especially with the xanax because depending on the length of time you have used it and the amount used, quitting the xanax cold turkey can cause severe withdrawel and seizures. You can stop the hydrocodone ( lortab ) cold turkey but to minimize discomfort and increase your chances of success I would recommend tapering off slowly. In other words just take a little less everyday until you are completley free of the medication. Ofcourse the best idea would be to be upfront with your doctor and see if he woukd be willing to wean you off.

Is vicodin stronger than xanax?

The difference between Hydrocodone and Xanax is Hydrocodone is an opioid pain killer.Xanax is a class of drug called a benzodiazapine prescribed for anxiety or panic attacks.Other drugs in this class are Valium,klonopin,and Librium. ===ANOTHER ANSWER=== FIRST ANSWER IS correct. HYDROCODONE is a narcotic analgesic (painkiller) commonly known as Vicodin (hydrocodone + Tylenol), or Lortab, or Lorcet. It has the potential to be abused or addictive. XANAX is an anti-anxiety, that also has the potential to becoming addictive, but much less than others in its class like Valium (diazepam) or Klonopin (clonazepam). Also, never abruptly stop taking any of these three.

Is it safe to take hydrocodone and xanax at the same time?

YES, it can be safe to take tramadol, Xanax (alprazolam), and hydrocodone at one time as long as they are used under medical supervision. You have to be very carefully taking benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Ativan etc.) with opioids (hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine etc.). Benzodiazepines and opioids are commonly used together for legitamite reasons however abuse of multiple drugs increases risk of serious, even life threatening side effects. Large numbers of deaths due to an overdose are attributed to polysubstance abuse, particularly opioids and benzodiazepines. When the drugs are prescribed and used appropriately they are typically safe.


Does xanax and hydrocodone show up the same as roxicodone on probation drug tests?

Can you take a 7.5 hydrocodone and a 0.25 xanax together?

yes they can be. you should be wary if you have a breathing impairment and i would not exceed 1.5mg of xanax with 7.5 mg hydrocodone. they can be addictive and both are CNS depressants. you should also never mix hydrocodone with Tylenol. i have been given 2 -4 mg's of ativan plus dilaudid before by a doctor. also 10 mg's of Valium plus dilaudid before. just don't go over your prescribed doses or take it more frequently. also, talk to your doctor about these things, the internet in never reliable. i am only relaying my own personal experience.
