Is it safe to get drunk after 8hrs from taking a 0.25 xanax?

Yes. You'd be safe within 4-6 hours, xanax doesn't last long. It would even be safe with the xanax if you were only having 2-3 drinks.

Is Xanax good after expiration date?

It depends, if you have been using Xanax for a long time, then using expired products can trigger withdrawal symptoms as chemical breakdown of alprazolam (Xanax) is less potent than the non-expired drug product. You also have the risk of paradoxical reactions of hysteria, delirium and seizures.

How long does it take to come off benzos?

It depends on how long you have taken them...

How much you have been taking...

As well as how fast your body takes to release the chemicals from your system

It should be noted that you should NEVER cold turkey off a benzodiazpine due to the risk factor of heart attack,stroke,or sezuire....

It has been known to take anywhere from 7days-12 months to heal from a benzo withdrawl. It all depends like I said on the person,the amount , and length taken...

Can you take Cymbalta Valium and oxycodone together?

Yes, you can but you will want to go lower on each drug on your regular dosage level. If you haven't had either, I would not recommend this or start VERY LOW.


If you are prescribed both medications, talk to your pharmacist or physician before taking both medications at the same time. It may be wise to ensure there is someone near by who can check on you periodically.




Will taking Ativan 1mg a day test positve in a urine drug test?

Ativan is constantly in your system if taken on a daily basis, it will show up as a benzodiazepine. However if a doctor prescribes this for you then whoever you are getting the drug test from can not hold it against you. I would tell the drug tester I was taking it, how much of it I was taking, and if need be bring in the pill bottle with your name and the prescription number and everything on it as proof that it is a legal use of the drug. I took Xanax (same family as Ativan) for a while, 0.5 mg as needed, and it came up on a drug test. It was not held against me because my psych doctor prescribed it.

Can you take Valium with Wellbutrin?

I've tried a benzo with a Strattera once and it was ok... not sure about long term use though, I only did it once.

What is the difference between Valium and Ativan?

Both Benzos. Both Anti-Anxiety oral tablets. Xanax works " FAST but doesn't LAST" (about 2 hours) so more of a "quick fix"; Atavan lasts longer 6+ hours. Both are highly addictive if used daily (for more than 4 weeks).

How long does lorazepam 5 mg stay in your system?

Would 135 0.5 Klonopins and lots of alcohol kill you?

Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine and are among the safest drugs in the world, although their effects (sedation, sleep) may make people think they can cause death. There is no recorded information on what would be considered a lethal dose, but the amount would need to be substantial.

Is 0.5mg alprazolam stronger then 1mg alprazolam?

Of course not! What the hell kind of question is that? More drug equals more effect.

What are the long term effects of snorting pills?

makes your nose bleed and can cause loss of smell. but I've snorted pills for years and i can still smell fine so i say go for it.

^ The above is a terrible answer and should be taken serious. Who ever posted this must not be in full addiction to whatever drug they are snorting. First off, just nose bleeds and not being able to smell are two very minor problems when it comes to snorting drugs. I am not a doctor, I am an addict who is trying to get better but I'm not your average addict in that I do a lot of researcher, am attempting to get a degree (not going well due to my addiction) and read a lot on subjects I'm interested in. I have studied natural health for 7 years now and snorting drugs, besides being a waste of the drug (in terms of pills/prescription meds), it damages the lungs significantly, of course it damages your sinus cavity and then of course any use of drugs damages the body immensely. How anyone can promote drug use and snorting is ignorant and has not fallen completely into the addiction. Because I do not have an addictive personality normally, it took me about 8 years or more to become an everyday user when it comes to pain meds. I feel in love and had a mental addiction almost immediately but I was able to have control over it for the first decade almost but it took me staying home all day to start using it more frequently and then to the everyday and there is NOTHING fun about it, NOTHING!! I mean that with every sense of the word. I don't enjoy the high anymore, if I even get high. I need so much of it, it costs me a rent payment just for a few days of being well. I need it to function or else I'm not happy and extremely sick. My life has gone nowhere and I'm extremely depressed and the pills don't even help anymore. It was the ultimate trap, with the facade that having all day access to the pills would be the ultimate life and I would have fun and be happy, only to find out that it would make my life so miserable it's too much to bare. But now its too late, I'm trapped, if I stop I'm sick for days if not a week, and when that is through, then it's months of hopeless depression boarding on suicidal, with no energy or motivation to do anything. The mental addiction is the hardest if not impossible to beat now and if there is a Satan, then this is his ultimate drug. It lures you in with the appeal of not feeling any emotions and fake happiness and once you are in, you are in for good and you no longer are happy and nothing in life will bring you joy, not even the drug you gave up your life for. Please, for anyone reading this, do not listen to the niavity of people who make careless comments like this comment above mine. If you are not physcially addicted yet and completely trapped, stop now. I know it is the hardest time to stop because you get the most joy at this stage of the addiction but I promise you, I give you my word of honor and will bet you any amount of money you can think of, it does not turn out well and you will only regret and be miserable. To get out of the end stage I'm in, is worse than surving the epocolypse. Most people in my stage of addiction never make it out, only die. Do not let yourself get there. It is not fun at all. You can only get so high and eventually you do run out of the good feelings it use to produce.

How many milligrams in a Xanax bar?

A Xanax bar will contain 2 mg of alprazolam (a benzodiazepine axiolytic drug,) which is the active ingredient in xanax. Other dosage forms, however, are available. Alprazolam, at least in the US, is available in 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mg doses, with the 3 mg dose being extended release only.

Antidote for benzodiazepine?

Romazicon/Roche (Flumazenil) is a specific benzodiazepine receptor antagonist indicated for the reversal of the CNS depressant effects of the benzodiazepines. It is contraindicated where multiple agents (ie: tricyclic antidepressants) have also been used concomitantly. Given that Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, it must be borne in mind that seizures may be invoked in individuals whom are physically dependent on benzodiazepines, and hence, it should not be used in this scenario unless absolutely warranted.

Is clonopin equivolent to Valium?

Both Klonopin and Valium are Benzodiazepines. Valium is indicated for generalized anxiety states or tension anxiety. Klonopin is indicated for more severe anxiety states, such as panic. Valium is 1/20th the potency of Klonopin, hence 10 milligrams of Valium is approximately equivalent in therapeutic effect to 1/2 milligram of Klonopin.

Can you overdose 20 pills of xanax of 1 mg?

yes. Xanax starts off at .25 mg, which is only a quarter of a 1mg tablet. so if you did 20

10mg tablets, you would be consuming 200mg of xanax which is 200 times the high average of 1.0mg. Why would anyone want to do this? If you are a person trying to get high from this, you are more likely looking at dying from a overdose, and then to mix it with Ambien is just ................. what can I say, beyond Stupid and irresponsible.

I will not be held responsible for what you do. But I am telling you this in case you are some uninformed teenager or adult that has no idea about the potency of xanax. Stay away from this drug at all cost. It is used mainly for anxiety and sleep disorders. Withdrawl from xanax can be horrible and can actually cause death.

How long does it take for Valium to leave your system?

2 days, but I would give it 3 days just to be sure.

      • Valium takes quite a long time to clear from your system, I took 1 on a Tuesday and tested positive for it the following Monday and was NOT a regular user of Valium, though I had taken 2 the previous week. I do not know the exact duration but if you have a drug test for parole or probation purposes, I urge you to be extremely conservative in estimating how long it will take to get a Valium or other benzo out of your system.***

What happen if you take 2mg xanax and 30 mg morphine?

Nothing will happen speaking from experience. You just get mellowed out, and you feel really good. Hell I'm sure you could take a couple more bars and another morphine and feel better! Hey, my opinion, and my experience.
