Can you take omeprazole if you take 0.5 mg of lorazepam?
Yes, you can generally take omeprazole while using lorazepam, as there are no direct contraindications between the two medications. However, it's important to consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist before combining them, as individual health conditions and other medications may affect safety and efficacy. Always follow the guidance of a medical professional regarding medication interactions.
Human drugs should never be given to a dog without a vet's express and explicit instruction to do so.
You can call poison control about things like this--they are set up to handle not only human poisonings but also dog and cat poisonings.
If your dog has ingested Xanax, also contact your vet ASAP to see what to do.
Can you take adderall and Xanax?
It seems to me as though it would cause a synergystic effect. That is to say, when you take one drug that does the opposite of what another one is supposed to do they cancel the effect of each other out.
Is it safe to take antibiotics and Xanax?
Yes, it's safe to take antibiotics and xanax at the same time. They don't adversely interact with each other.
What is the given name for diazepam?
Diazepam , marketed under brand names Valium, Stesolid, Seduxen, Bosaurin and Apozepam) is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, skeletal muscle relaxant and amnestic properties. This makes it a useful drug for treating anxiety, insomnia, seizures, alcohol withdrawal, and muscle spasms. It is also used before certain medical procedures (such as endoscopies) to reduce tension and anxiety, and in some surgical procedures to induce amnesia. Diazepam is a core medicine in the World Health Organization's "Essential Drugs List", which is a list of minimum medical needs for a basic health care system. Diazepam is used to treat a wide range of conditions and is one of the most frequently prescribed benzodiazepines.
Will alprazolam ER show up the same as regular alprazolam in a drug test?
While Xanax immediate release and Xanax Xr are the same compound, it's important to note that the half life of Xanax Xr is 10.7-15.8 hours while immediate release Xanax is 11.2 hours. to answer the question point blank... yes, it will test higher levels if taken at the same dose regiment. Since the half life is longer than six hours, the time release in Xanax is included into the compound, not added additionally to the compound leading me to believe it is self sustained.
Can you take diazepam and amitriptyline at the same time?
Yes you can. They both work well together, in fact I often take both to help as relaxants. Diazepam is often 2mg, however Amitriptyline can be 10mg, 25mg, 50mg. Just be careful how much you take.
Does xanax show up on a drug test?
yes it does it stays in your system for 30 days i know for a fact it happened to me
Will 1mg of xanax be in a urine test 2 days later?
The half life of Xanax is 11 hours. That means that in 11 hours, only half of the medication remains in your system. In another 11 hours, it will be cut in half again. Therefore, it only takes several days for the body to excrete the Xanax to a level not detectable by drug testing.
How long does Klonopin in system?
There are so many answers in this thread it is baffling. Some of the answers are accurate, semi-accurate and some are just down right wrong. It all depends on what test is used. The most widely used lateral flow immunoassays are calibrated for oxazepam at 300 ng/ml of urine. If it is positive they generally send it off for GC/MS testing. As someone already clearly stated what clonazepam breaks down to it would be redundant for me to do into that. Clonazepam does not metabolize to oxazepam. However, large doses over a period of time can lead to a positive immunoassay, ususally around 781 ng/ml of Clonazepam. The amount of actual non-metabolized clonazepam released in urine is less than 1-2%.
In a chronic low-dose user (less than 3mg per day), many test negative on immunoassay. Single dose users, dependent on dose generally test negative on immunoassays. If an immunoassay is calibrated toward 7-aminoclonazepam and clonazepam (they are available) they would produce a positive.
When expensive GC/MS testing is done due to a positive BZO lateral flow, the lab needs to know to look for Clonazepam and 7-amino clonazepam.
In sum, if someone stays off clonazepam for a few days, the likelyhood of a positive test by most used lateral flow immunoassay would be very slim. So, it would techinally would be a "false-negative" because the lab could detect it if looking for it with GC/MS. There is much literature online one can review. Academic literature is more accurate than others info. Alot of what people put out there is incorrect and/or incomplete.
Answer:
The short answer is: Stop taking the drug and wait. It'll be gone in a few days.
The catch is that, like all benzodiazipam category drugs, if you've been taking it for more then a month then you'll need to taper off slowly because of withdrawals (although extremely rare, 2 deaths have been attributed2).
Answer:
Not only can a drug test detect Klonopin, it can also measure the level, or amount of drug in the body.
Answer:
Klonopin® (generic: Clonazepam) is a benzodiazapine used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It has a half-life of anywhere from 18-50 hours, meaning that is how long it takes your body to reduce the amount of clonazepam in your system by half.
If you took three 1 mg tablets, within one to two days, 50% of its major metabolite 7-aminoclonazepam (7-ACLO) will still be in your system, and detectable by urinalysis; within three to four days, 75% of the metabolite will have cleared; within five to six days, 87.5% will have cleared, and so on.
Unfortunately, because the rate of metabolism varies from person to person, the concentration of 7-ACLO measurable in the urine doesn't necessarily decline in a direct linear fashion. You may show peak concentration, the point at which the metabolite is highest and most easily detected, anywhere from the first to the eighth day after taking the drug. Depending on the sensitivity and specificity of the test, one 3 mg. dose of clonazepam is detectable in urinalysis at 14 days; and there is a 75-80% chance of it being detectable at 21 days. It may take 28-30 days for the medication to clear your body completely.1
Most likely, a low-cost employment or other screening test won't be sensitive enough to pick up the one-time use anywhere near that long (the above data came from a forensic study). A drug detection timetable for short-term use of benzodiazapines suggests you should be able to pass a drug test after 5-7 days (the upper end of the time line). This is not a guarantee, however.
Since benzodiazepines are metabolized by the liver and excreted in the urine, drinking a lot of water may help slightly, but won't increase the speed at which your body metabolizes the drug.

Accudiagnostics
I will do further checking of the medical journals later and repost my reply. I have been taking 4mg of Clonazepam (Klonopin) since my auto accident in 2006, when my car flipped, rolled 3 times, my airbag did not deploy, my seat-belt was on, and I had a fractured skull, vertebrae, and 5th metatarsal. I have Cerebral Palsy, which was mild until my accident. After my accident, I developed hammer toes and increased shakiness, etc. My doctor prescribed this medication and kept increasing the does until the problems that kept me from functioning and sleeping disappeared (yes, she was amazed that I tolerated the dosage without falling asleep in her office). A little less than 3 years ago, I moved to PA and found a new physician. I take 2mg of Clonazepam around 6A.M. and see my doctor in the afternoon and ALWAYS fail the urine test. I am researching to discover why (I am uncertain as to what type of urine screen they do, but was assured that it should show up in my urine). This has caused me a great deal of difficulty but one day, after my doctor's staff did not give her my messages about refilling my Rx (they were buried under papers on top of my file), I showed up at her office in withdrawal (my BP was around 160/130 something and pulse was in the 120s, and I felt awful. I can guarantee you that 8 hours after taking 2mg of Klonopin/Clonazepam that it did not show up in the urine tests. I am dealing with a new doctor at this clinic since November, and was told Wednesday (after calling about my refill Friday, Monday and Tuesday) that they would not refill my Rx, would not do any further tests and wanted to see me in 3 months. I requested a copy of my medical records, went to the ER (my BP was up again), I failed the urine test there, they gave me 2mg last night, watched me take it, checked my mouth (all at my request) and I am returning for another test this morning, which I know I will fail again.

Can you tell the difference between xanax and clonazepam in a urine drug screen?
Not in a regular 5 or 7 drug of abuse screening. The category of benzodiazepines will come back positive but it won't say exactly which benzo was present. The sample can be sent on for further testing to determine plasma levels of the drug and exactly which one it is but that is not done on a typical drug screen.
What causes false positive for Benzodiazepines?
look for "livingstrong.com -drugs that can cause false postive drug test" you will be suprised what all shoes up inncorrect,my seroquel xr says on the information pamblet that it will show up methadone, on the web site i just gave you it says for zoloft can show up benzos,acid reflux meds can show up marijua,antibiotics can show up for cocaine
Can you take xanax and clonazepam?
The combination of clonazepam and the steroids cortisone or prednisone should be fine, as no known interactions show up. However, since no specific steroid name was given, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist to make sure.
Can you take clonazepam and Suboxone?
>No, this combination is not safe because it can cause significant respiratory depression. There >are many doctors that prescribe both of these together. it All depends on the amount of >suboxone you are taking.. and of course never go overboard with the Benzoz..
The above answer was lacking in some details. Yes, you can safely take the two together. The important thing is not to take too high a dose of the klonopin. I take 12mg of suboxone and anywhere from 1 - 2mg of klonopin. I would not take a much higher dose of the klonopin as there is a chance for respiratory depression. My doctor is a 25 year veteran and has been involved with suboxone treatment for the last 5 years, so I trust his opinion.
Can you mix temazepam with zanex?
With Xanax yes you can im assuming its for recreational purposes so for your safety I can tell you it is alright but check a dosage conversion chart to know your not taking more than you can.
Will xanax and flexeril show up as the same thing in blood work?
none I would have to disagree with the none response. Ambien, while not a benzodiazepine, is closely related to the benzodiazepines. Ambien could potentially show up as a benzodiazepine on a drug test.
Can you mix Valium and marijuana?
It is 100% safe to mix Valium with marijuana, I'm on the mix currently and still feel abit anxious.
No problem, my advice is use generic diazepam and quality cannabis, and avoid alcohol.
False positive for benzodiazepine?
Most anti Anxiety medication like Prozac, Xanax (Alprazolam),Klonopin (clonazepam). Also Valium (diazepam), Serax (Oxazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), Halcion (Triazolam ),Rohypnol, Roofies, Tranks,Chlordiazepoxide (Klopoxid, Librax, Librium),Dalmane (Flurazepam), etc..
Can you take buprenorphine and Xanax together?
No. it is unsafe to take any Benzodiazapine with Suboxone! It even says so on the Suboxone website. Not only is it dangerous but it has caused deaths in some patients. I also checked this out by calling the medical department at Suboxone and I was told that I was correct that this was the indication.
Are you sure you even want to start on them?
Here's a little warning and knowledge into what you're getting yourself into :
Klonopins (also known as K Pins on the streets), the BRAND name for the pill is known as clonazepam, which was originally brought to market in 1975 as a medication for epileptic seizures. Since then, Klonopin, along with the other drugs in this class, has become a prescription of choice for drug abusers and has, many times, been accused of infertility. The drug's label clearly specifies that it is "recommended" only for short-term use -say, seven to 10 days-- clonazepam has wreaked such havoc on people partly because it is so highly addictive; anyone who takes it for more than a few weeks may well develop a dependence on it.
if clonazepam is given to a patient with a history of epileptic seizures, it is likely to bring the symptoms under control. But give the same drug to a person suffering from a completely different problem (an eating or sleeping disorder, for example), and it might actually cause an epileptic seizure.
Use of Klonopin for more than a month can lead to a dangerous condition known as "benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome," featuring elevation of a user's heart rate and blood pressure along with insomnia, nightmares, hallucinations, anxiety, panic, weight loss, muscular spasms or cramps, and seizures.
Real quote from General GG., "Klonopins are harder to come off of then heroin - I know because Ive withdrawn from both many times."
now.. STREET PRICE : They aren't expensive like other popular drugs. $2-3 a pill
Prescription : $11-13... possible $47 at the most (WITHOUT insurance)
How long does alcohol stay in your system in a lab drug tests?
alcohol is usually tested by blood tests and breathalizer tests not urine samples. Otherwise as soon as you pee it should be gone, frink lots of water to dilute the concentration.
How long does xanax stay in your urine?
It's supposed to be 72 hours. That's the average time for most substances. Although, I must warn you: I've tested positive for opiates 5 days later and I've also tested positive for benzos (xanax, ativan, klonopin, valium) 11 days later. Be Careful! Drink lots of fluids, preferably water,(cranberry juice works good too), and try to flush your system out... if you're trying to get the drugs out of your system as fast as possible, then that's your best bet.
Can you just top taking Xanax if you don't take it regularly to begin with?
By law no one can be discriminated against based on any medical condition...unless that condition prohibits you from performing you duties without reasonable accomodations. In other words not only are you protected by the HIPPA Laws, you are also protected by the ADA. The only reason an employer should even know that you are currently taking Xanax is if you fail the drug test based on a positive urine screen for benzodiazepines, and at that point you just show them your legal prescription from a licensed physician and you are golden! If an employer/prospective employer tells you that you are fired or that they cannot hire you based on this you have one hell of a lawsuit under the ADA laws. On the other hand if you are obtaining the Xanax through black market channels and do not have a prescription for it, then yes....you failed your drug test!! Hope this information helps!!
Is it safe to take Klonopin while pregnant?
Although not conclusive, there has been evidence to show that there may be risks in taking this drug while pregnant. Klonopin is a benzodiazepine derivative in which studies have shown that malformations can occur such as cardiac and facial deformations when such a drug is used early in one's pregnancy. Again, such data obtained from such studies are not conclusive; however, other defects from this range of drugs can also be development shortcomings such as decreased IQ. When used late in one's pregnancy, this could cause the child to suffer from benzodiazepine withdrawal which could include complications such as floppy infant syndrome, a reluctance to suck, impaired metabolic responses to cold stress, and more. Some of these symptoms may even persist for hours or months after birth. In short, although not conclusive, it might be best to stay off of this medication during one's pregnancy, or consult one's physician to find alternative medication which pose no threat to the development of the fetus.
Can you mix lorazepam and valtrex?
i just did it.. the lorazapam seems more effective in the pain control ( and mental/emotional control) than was acetominophen, so far.
