What happens if you snort zyprexa?
Adderall is a combination of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine that is used to help treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is generally taken orally and stimulates the central nervous system and speeds up the messages going between the brain and the body.
When you snort the medication instead of swallowing it, the strength and potential for problems increases. This is because the drug passes directly into the blood and body tissues instead of first being metabolised.
When coming down you may experience a number of problems such as exhaustion, tension, radical mood swings, depression and even uncontrolled violence.
Long-term effects of repeatedly using of amphetamines can include:
- High blood pressure and a rapid and irregular heartbeat
- Chronic sleeping problems
- Malnutrition if your appetite is reduced and you aren't eating properly
- Anxiety, tension and sudden outbursts of violence
- Amphetamine psychosis, where you may be paranoid or suffer from delusions, hallucinations and bizarre behaviour (usually symptoms disappear a few days after you stop taking the amphetamines)
- There is also some evidence that the brain cells can be damaged.
Snorting Adderall can also damage nasal tissues and deteriorate nasal cartilage.
You also need to know that like amphetamines, snorting Adderall can lead to tolerance and addiction. This means that you are more likely to start to need using more and more of it, and your body may begin to rely on it to function. So you may have withdrawal effects if you stop taking it suddenly after continuous use.

Look up SODAS, that is the delivery system for most xr, cr, or la drugs. the outer layer is the drug, then an inactive ingredient, then a tiny plastic pellet which has holes in it and is full of the 2nd dose of the drug. Snorting anything can lead to pulmonary embolisms, but these especially. the plastic parts end up in your lungs and will cause bronchitis, pneumonia, and other infections. I have a Rx for Xanax and also Focalin XR which is the strongest of the amphetamines used to treat ADHD. I got creative one day and snorted the xanax, nothing special except clogged sinuses. After trying to snort the Focalin XR I had chest congestion, and excessive phlem for a long time. ALWAYS TAKE MEDS THE WAY IN WHICH THEY ARE PRESCRIBED.
Is it bad to smoke marijuana while taking seroquel?
Smoking pot or marijuana, if you don't already know, tends to affect people differently, depending on the person. Its effects include the need for parastalsis or strong hunger, feelings of antidepression, a calming sensation, slight feelings of weightlessness, dry or "cotton" mouth, and easy contractions of hilarity. The side affects, also depend on the person. Problems with smoking marijuana usually occurs when persin begins at a young age. In your teenage (or younger) lifetime, your brain is going through extreme changes, it is growing and learning. Interruption of this process may lead to losses in the short term memory, coordination, and reflex areas of the brain. This case does not occur as often in adult stages. However, when smoked during the correct stages of life, Marijuana can increase creativity in the brain as well as terminate feelings of depression and pain. It has also been proven to terminate pain and the actual rheumatoid arthritis and reduce inflamation of those with Alzheimers. Smoking marijuana is no problem as long as it is used wisely.
AnswerMarijuana does not have a lot of problems with interactions with other drugs. It is not a major health threat by itself, so all such questions really come down to the effects of the other drug.As stated above, marijuana should not be a problem if used in moderation.
AnswerI know people who smoke marijuana and take Seroquel without experiencing any decrease in the effectiveness of the Seroquel. But I also know people with mental illnesses whose symptoms increased when they smoked Marijuana. It all depends on the individual and how his/her body reacts to the drug. AnswerI agree with the person directly above. I sometimes take Seroquel (currently just 100-200mg; I was up to 600mg each and every night during a very extreme and somewhat lengthy state of mania) for sleeping purposes. I personally could not smoke during that time period.Marijuana effects most drugs when smoked. Seroquel will be raised for the duration when smoking. It wil be enhanced a little but not enough to make one OD.
Answer:
I am bi polar and have smoked pot for years. For the last few months I have been on Seroquel 600 mg at nite. The problem that presents itself is massive weight gain to the point that I have quit smoking entirely and switched to a low glycemic diet. Seroquel will increase your appetite and the way in which the body metabolizes carbohydrates, that combined with the "munchies" brought on by smoking pot is a bad combination. You can easily wind up with really high glucose levels in the blood.
If you can take Seroquel and smoke and NOT gain weight then more power to you.....you gotta be careful with Serquel and your diet.
Can you take haldol and lorazepam together?
If you like to drool and sit there looking like a Zombie.
Can you mix antibiotics and painkillers?
This is really a question for your doctor. What is safe for one individual may not be for another. Usually antibiotics and painkillers in appropriate doses are fine. Still, only your doctor knows your personal medical history, and should be the one who gives you the appropriate advise. Although most people will give sincere advise, they can be sincerely wrong. Do not take chances when it comes to your personal health.
What are side affects from metadone and seroquel being took together?
Swim has abused these drugs recently, Swim has found that taking Seroquel in combination with Valium (which swim has much more experience with) produced a profound high with marked disorientation, confusion, and lack of motor control. The doses swim used were 25-40MG of Valium coupled with 75-150mg of Seroquel. Valium alone does not produce a pronounced high in Swim. Swim found the Seroquel to be particularly debilitating and a dangerous additive for a mix of Valium,Xanax, and cannabis. But regarding your problem, Swim thinks that Seroquel tolerance plays a major role in the equation, along with dosage. If you have Seroquel tolerance already, Swim is certain that an individual with tolerance would react much differently to the combination, and not suffer such debilitating effects. Otherwise be careful not to over do it or you may get extremely groggy, confused, frustrated, and generally unable to function in a way that Swim found almost disturbing.
Has anyone who has stopped taking seroquel cold turkey had non-stop itching especially at night?
The experts suggest that you avoid certain food and drink that can make the itch worse, like coffee, beer, and super sugary snacks, but in reality, if you are experiencing the withdrawals like I am, these things feel pretty necessary right now, and I'm not too keen to give them up. I've found that taking an allergy pill/anti-histamine helps quell the itch, as does submerging your body in a hot bath. I'm sure that the Aveeno oatmeal bath designed to help alleviate itch is probably also helpful in easing the incredible itches.
Also, watch for nausea, night-time vomiting, and a sudden sensitivity to every bug that is floating around, (I quit Seroquel two weeks ago, and in addition to still having symptoms like the itchiness, I have also had the flu and just got a cold). This wouldn't be weird, except that while I was on the Seroquel, I swear I was sort of superhuman in terms of what I could put my body through and still feel well. It might just have been that I was sleeping so much on it. Eventually though, I realized that I wasn't 'myself' on the pill. I kept having ideas that I was going to get better and feel better, but I couldn't follow through on anything, and wasn't inspired whatsoever, and felt like a loser. Since stopping the pill, I really feel like I am coming back to myself. I am still taking Cipralex for my bi-polar, but after learning that Seroquel was dangerous for some people long term and would make it near impossible to have a baby on it, I decided it was time to give it up.
I'm glad I did. Despite the terrible itch.
Will Seroquel show up as positive on the Tricyclic Antidepressant panel of a drug test?
As part of an ongoing treatment study of co-occurring bipolar mania and cannabis abuse in adolescents, we obtained bi-monthly urine toxicology screens using the Status DS™ immunoassay. It was noted that the first five subjects initially tested negative for tricylcic antidepressants (TCAs) but all five tested positive after being treated with topiramate or placebo and quetiapine. All of the patients denied using TCAs, but were forthcoming regarding their drug use. A quetiapine trough blood level was also obtained on the same morning that the urine toxicology screens were performed and the results paralleled the TCA toxicology findings, i.e., when subjects showed quetiapine in their serum (5.1 to 85 ng/ml), they tested positive for TCAs. However, when two of the subjects were non-adherent to their medications and their quetiapine levels were undetectable, their toxicology screens were negative for TCAs. After these two patients were encouraged to take their medications and had detectable quetiapine levels, they once again tested positive for TCIt looks like Seroquel will show up as a positive for TCA panel.
Can you take Adderall instead of risperdal?
Yes. Using a stimulant--Adderall, Ritalin (methylphenidate), Concerta (extended release methylphenidate, and others--along with the atypical antipsychotics (such as Risperdal, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Ability) is often done, usually if aggression is present with the ADHD or if mood symptoms, such as bipolar symptoms are present. There can be side effects associated with this combination; this usually occurs when one or the other is removed or started. (in the realm of motor movements--known as dyskinesias). Folks on a stable combination don't usually have this problem. This problem particular problem goes away once doses are adjusted. Most folks don't experience this particular side effect.
The recommended max dose for an adult according to the British National Formulary is 20mg daily any more than this can be viewed as an over dose. in children the recommended max dosage is also 20mg daily max but only in acute cases and 10mg daily is more usually the max prescribed dose. The LD50 (dose that kills 50% of the time) is 100mg per kilogram
Is Haldol and Cogentin compatible when mixed together for IM?
I have mixed these two medications together in injections hundreds of times in the past thirty years of being in the psychiatric nursing field. It could be that I've just been lucky all those times but it seems unlikely.
For what purpose haldol is used?
Haldol is a "Heavy Tranquilizer", usually given to people suffering Schizophrenia or a psychotic episode. It is intended to slow down imagination/creativity areas of the brain, but impairs the entire brain in doing so.
Compared to "Mild Sedatives" such as valium, xanax, etc. Haldol is about 10-50 times more powerful, but doesn't slow down the body as much as the brain, leading to shakes and poor muscle/motor control aka "Haldol Shuffle". Good answer!. I'd like to add that Haldol (or haloperidol) is also used to treat Tourette's Syndrome. And Xanax (alprazolam) is more of an anti-anxietal than a tranquilizer (I'll leave you to guess how someone somewhere actually made that distinction).
Can you take zyprexa and Vicodin?
From all I've researched mixing the two can be very dangerous. Some quacks prescribe you anything without a thought' just to collect there BONUS from the manufacturer at the expense of the innocent.
What will happen if you go out in the sun while taking Seroquel?
in my experience it did not, but Seroquel is notorius for restless leg syndrome or a side affect called Akethesia.
Some people get sensitivity to sunlight when they take Seroquel. It makes me burn faster, but I never used a tanning bed so I don't know about that.
Is risperidone safe for 4 year olds?
The Canadian Pharmacologists Association states, not recommended for children under the age of 15. Though some people have used it, the amount of horrible side effects and chance of developing Parkinsons Disease, I would not suggest using this drug. I know of a 5 year old girl who took this drug and when it did not work, she had to keep taking it because you can not just stop taking it cold. The child now has a severe tick in her neck and shoulders.
I suggest using a behavioral therapy before medication a child. I had warned this mother, yet she went ahead anyways, thinking it would ease her difficulties in parenting, now the child is harmed for life.
