How can diazepam show up on urine drug screen when you don't take it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Drugs tests are not 100% accurate and can give false positives and false negatives for various reasons. To prove that you have not taken diazepam, ask to take an alternative form of test.

If i stop taking Xanax what will happen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the daily dosage and the length of time one has been taking them, the withdrawal symptoms can be quite severe and very unpleasant. It's recommended tapering off gradually to minimize any withdrawal symptoms.

I have to add to this answer that is not the "unpleasant symptoms" you have to worry about. it is extremely dangerous to just stop taking any Benzodiazapine. Yes you will feel horrible but when you just STOP taking them your blood pressure goes up. You will most likely have a seizure at best or have a fatal stroke. It is nothing to fool around with. If you need to stop taking them it should be in the hospital in a detox center, that is the only safe way to stop taking any Benzo.

Can you mix alprazolam and oxycodone together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A doctor would never prescribe these drugs together except under extreme conditions which don't allow for other sedatives/pain management.

As for recreational use, this combination of drugs has been recently dubbed the Heath Ledger Cocktail, as this mixture (in low doses, mind you, was the cause of the actors sudden death. Death leading from this drug-drug interaction is more common in the elderly and anyone with depressed circulatory or central nervous conditions.

So, if this is a recreational question, the answer is yes and no. I've known people that have used signifcant amounts of each separately, and eventually they combined them. But that's not to say that they weren't playing Russian Roulette.

Can i take Oxycodone advil cold and sinus Valium and Klonopin?

Asked by Wiki User

No. Narcotics (oxycodone) benzodiazepines and barbiturates are sedating where as Advil cold will have hardly any effect. Do not mix so many sedative drugs unless prescribed by your physician to do so

Asked by Lynnguini

It depends on what your metabolism and tolerance is. If you don't usually do a whole lot of benzodiazepines like Ativan, Valium, Restoril, Klonopin, etc., one could just die from that much.

Does xanax interfere with synthroid?

User Avatar

Asked by Ukee

I won't say that it 'interacts' with it because you're not going to have an allergic reaction...BUT, they may counteract the effects of each other. What I mean is if you take levothyroxine, you obviously have a thyroid problem...I'm guessing hypothyroidism. That, itself, can make you tired. Levothyroxine is supposed to correct it somewhat and when hormone is replaced adequately, many of your symptoms, including fatigue, should improve. However, if you are suffering from anxiety or panic attacks and take a benzodiazepine, like xanax or klonopin, that is going to calm down things in the brain and yes, they will make you sleepy. What you have here is the need for energy with the contradictive need to stay calm. The medications are pulling in separate directions. I'm speaking from experience because I take levoxyl and klonopin and just recently had to lower one and increase the other...so its not surprising I'm tired! If you increase the benzo, you will probably feel extra tired until your body adjusts. It's hard to find balance if you have 2 or more conditions that require such different medications. Sorry to ramble, but in short, the answer is no, it won't interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine, but you may not get the energy you want if you have to take something to keep you calm.

Can you mix Valium and neurontin?

Hi my name is Nicole and the only medication that works for me pain wise is an extreme strength of neurontin and today I was given soma to take with it. It doesn't make you pain free or high like some people like but there is relief!

How long is it safe to take an Ativan after a vicodin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Vicodin is used to treat moderate to above moderate pain and ativan is used to treat anxiety. If your doctor prescribed both of them to you then he/she believes you need both. If you take both at the same time or even in the same 1-2 hours of each other I wouldn't recommend you operate any heavy machinery like a car unless you have taken them both before and know how you feel.

What is the common Xanax dose?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Once I've had 3 x 2mg tri-score xanax...i was fine...well a little high...but then it puts me to sleep. what a waste...i had a friend who took 20 x 2mg in 3 days with beers...unfortunately for him...he died of cardiac arrest...so becarefull guys...i think xanax only meant to calm you down when you have a panic attack...but lately I've been having 1 or 2 every 4 / 5 hours...only because I'm really depressed at the moment...i thought about killing myself...i had 2, then another 2 in the next half hour, then another 2 not long after...it only puts me to sleep for about 45 mins...but it helped me think about killing myself...so it's kinda good in a bad way...that's my prerogative

If your out of Xanax can you take Valium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is certainly not recommended to change medications without consulting a doctor.

However, Xanax and Valium have Cross-tolerance. So if there is not an alternative then substituting Valium for Xanax is medically acceptable. And because Xanax can not be stopped "cold turkey" drug substitution is important.

You take suboxone but you need something anxiety?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes this is a common side effect of suboxone. I struggled with taking xanax with suboxone for awhile which is very dangerous to do, but I cut my dose of suboxone back to only 8mg a day, and that really seemed to help. I still get anxiety daily, and ALWAYS want xanax but have been able to not take any. I am taking an anti-depresiant type drug called Sevalla now and it helps alot with the anxiety. My suboxone Dr. recommended it to me because of my anxiety. Maybe ask your doc about paxil or some type of non-narcotic anti-anxiety or anti-depresant. I hate to say but if you did real dope for a long period of time and are now on suboxone, that anxiety feeling is there to stay, there's nothing you can really do to make it go away completely except taking benzos, and believe me you do not want to go down that road, cause it only leads you back to the addictive personality that lead you to suboxone in the first place. Email me at jasondavidrice@wikianswers.com if you have anymore questions or need to talk to someone, I am glad to help. That's why I am on wiki so much cause it keeps me busy and helps with my anxiety! Good luck!

Do all benzos show up the same on a drug test im prescribed triazolam for sleep which is a benzo i took a xanax my luck its now time to take a urine test is this going to show up differ?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the urine test that is given. Some facilities spend more money on the type of test that is given. So to answer your question, it is a possibility that it can show up different. I give drug tests out at my job so I know this for a fact.
