Benzodiazepines

1mg Xanax = 2mg Ativan or 20mg Valium. You also have to consider onset and duration of action. Xanax is very fast-acting but only has a half-life of 6-12 hours. Ativan has a relatively quick onset with a half-life of 10-20 hours. Valium on the other hand, is a slow-acting benzo and stays in your system for days.

Yes, just be smart with your dosages because lorazepam is a strong benzo and benzos are potentiators of opiates, so you won't need as much oxy as normal unless you wanna be nodding balls. If lorazepam is a normal medicine for you that you take on a daily basis, then take as much oxy as normal. If you're not tolerant to benzos, careful on how high you dose.

yes

It it possible to take Valium (diazepam) and Ativan (lorazepam) at the same time however it is uncommon for both to be prescribed. However some doctors will prescribe Valium for continuous use, typically three times daily, and may give some Ativan to take as needed or panic attacks or insomnia.

Keep in mind that Valium is a far less more potent drug than Ativan, 0.5- 1 mg is equivalent to 10 mg of Valium.

YES the "lib" in librax stands for "librium" which is most certainly a benzo

I believe that 40 mg of Valium is equal to 2mg xanax.

A xanax pill is alprazolam- a benzodiazepine drug. It has many uses, but is mostly used as an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) drug. It can be used in epilepsy, sleep disturbances, panic attacks, and a range of other conditions.

No, it is not. Celexa is a anti-depressant and Klonopin (Clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine.

Yes, Xanax is known to stimulate the appetite. It is a benzodiazepine and most of them do.

Apparently so, as it is combined in the following product: Alka Seltzer Plus Night Time Effervescent (aspirin/diphenhydramine/phenylpropanolamine) source: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/drug-aspirindiphenhydraminephenylpropanolamine/article_em.htm

No, you don't get "high." Xanax is a depressant and taken for reasons other than prescribed or in excess will leave you feeling very sedated and drunk-like. Most likely you'll just get really tired and crave a long nap.

No, Valium and Ativan are different medications with different active ingredients. Valium is a trade name (brand name) for the drug "diazepam" and Ativan is a trade name for the drug "lorazepam." However, both diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan) belong to the same class of sedative hypnotic prescription medications known as benzodiazepines. Accordingly, diazepam and lorazepam have similar chemical/molecular structures and share many of the same therapeutic properties.

consult your doctor! many factors will determine safety of these two meds together & a doctor or pharmacist are the most capable of assessing them. there are moderate interactions, mainly being cns & respiratory depression. obviously, no driving or drinking while on either of these medications.

Hi one and all, my cousin who is in her sixties has been taking Seroxat and Diazepam as prescribed by her doctor and has been doing so for a few years now as she suffers from PTSD however I don't think Seroxat is suitable for a lot of people (including myself). I was the lucky one, I refused to take the drug and slowly came off it and went onto another SSRI type drug and then I built up the courage to go cold turkey as I really did not feel any better by taking either of these. However I did take a lot of drugs in my youth and felt that I could handle the nightmares that followed and I did! I think sometimes you have to take drastic action to get the result you crave although I am not fully cured of my particular PTSD I feel a lot better knowing that I do not have to take these drugs again. So to recap my cousin seems to be ok on both of these but I personally don't think it's the be all and end all cure for any depression or PTSD problems a lot of us seem to have.

how many people overdose in the u.s.a

Morphine is an opiate pain killer and a natural product, occurring directly from the Opium Poppy plant. Its used in processes to make other narcotic opioids like Heroin, oxymorphone, and hydromorpone. It is the classic opiate to which all others are judged. Its pretty strong, but has different bioavailability depending on your route of admin. If you take oral morphine, it makes it about as potent as hydrocodone mg for mg, which is still pretty good considering you can get morphine sulfate pills with high amounts such as 60, 90, 120, and 200 mg each.

Soma is a centrally-acting skeletal muscle relaxer. It is pretty potent, and taken in high doses lowers your seizure threshold and has been known to make people shake and vibrate do to this characteristic. Taken in moderate doses, it really relaxes you and helps with muscle pain and spasms. It also prescribed with opiates to potentiate them (make the effects of the opiates stronger). They will make you loopy and sedated if not used to them.

I just ran into this same question myself, and I believe your answer is on the bottom of this site... basically says 'Do not take theraflu with Valium or Xanax until you talk to your doctor. Combination could cause extreme drowsiness'.

No, methadone is an opioid used frequently for heroin and other opioid/opiate addiction matence. Benzodiazapines are anti-anxiety drugs such as Xanax and Valium. They are chemically completely unrelated.

Yes apparently. I was first prescribed 20 mg of extended release Methylone (metylphenidate) a week ago. And then today it was doubled to 40 mg a day, along with 15 mg of BuSpar (buspirone). BuSpar for anxiety, and Methylone for ADHD. 20 mg of Methylone worked in and out inevitably increasing my irritability, but 40 mg works perfectly. I'm a Biofeedback Therapy Clinician in a therapist office. So I know this doctor personally, he wouldn't have prescribed it if he thought it was impractical.

Yes they can be taken together and have moderate interactions.

After morphine you may not need diazepam at all. Morphine is very much dangerous drug and diazepam is very safe drug. Morphine has to be used very carefully and diazepam can be used almost routinely in today's world of lot of psychological tensions.

3 top outcomes reported are:

1. Nausea

2. Depression

3. Pain

Yes, a person can take Seroquel and Xanax together. However, they do have some drug interaction, that will make the person very sleepy.

Yes, you should be fine. However, please consider that Klonapin is highly addictive and habit forming. Are you taking these medications for a psychiatric disorder? Be careful,again. Not only with the Klonapin, but Seroquel and Lamictal will knock you out, and numb you out. No way to live life. These medications are meant to be taken for a short period of time, unless you are severely schizophrenic. If you do take them for a long period of time you may develop Tardive Dyskenesia. And it's chronic. Good luck...
