Ativan can be stronger than Xanax. However, it depends on the milligram dosage. Both Ativan and Xanax are anti-anxiety prescription medications.
No, Flexeril is a muscle relaxant and works differently than the anti-anxiety medicine Xanax. Xanax is a benzodiazepine and some drugs in this class are sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxant, but they work differently and are a slightly different type of medicine than Flexeril and Xanax.
well i take xanax and vicodin together at the same time everyday to get through the day, but when i mix i take lower doses than normal.
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
NO!!! Flexeril and Ultram can both cause seizures, taking them together will increase the risk. Always , ask your doctor!
Combining Xanax (alprazolam), Ativan (lorazepam), and phenmetrazine can be dangerous and is generally not recommended. Both Xanax and Ativan are benzodiazepines that can cause sedation, respiratory depression, and increased risk of overdose, while phenmetrazine is a stimulant that can have opposing effects. Mixing these medications can lead to unpredictable and potentially harmful interactions. Always consult a healthcare professional before making any changes to medication regimens.
Both Xanax (alprazolam) and Ativan (lorazepam) are benzodiazepines that can help alleviate symptoms of claustrophobia by reducing anxiety. Xanax tends to work faster but has a shorter duration of action, while Ativan has a longer-lasting effect. The choice between the two often depends on individual response and specific medical advice. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the best option for your needs.
Both belong to class the class of "super-potent" benzodiazepines. Technically, Klonopin is more potent than Ativan (0.25mg-0.5mg klonopin = 1mg ativan), but if you are wondering which produces more euphoria, most would agree Ativan beats Klonopin. My psychiatrist recently swapped me from klonopin to ativan for my social anxiety, and I find ativan works faster and produces a much more calming effect than the klonopin did.
No. Alcohol is not to be consumed while taking the prescription medication Flexeril. Both alchol and Flexeril are central nervous system depressants and can cause serious interactions if taken together.
Taking Xanax and Ativan together is absolutely UNSAFE. They are both in a class of drugs called Benzodiazepines. The main difference in the two is that Ativan is longer lasting than Xanax. I am no Doctor, but I would advise strongly against taking these two drugs together.
Lorazepam (Ativan) has a long half-life, so it is a good choice for tapering, though diazepam is traditionally used. Getting off benzodiazepines is difficult no matter which one you taper with. Cut off your supply of Xanax and find someone to hold the Ativan for you so you aren't tempted to take more when things get rough.
My physician just gave a script for both... His words: "No negative interaction".
