Benzodiazepines

Writing a prescription is one distinctive difference versus an RN, so it follows that , yes, NP can prescribe any controlled substance like Vicodin.

No. They bind to different receptor sites. Suboxone is in the opiate class of medications. Alprazolam is in the benzodiazepine class of medications.

That being said, it is generally not indicated to be on alprazolam (due to its addictive properties) while being treated with Suboxone.

The only green "football" aka oval shaped Xanax that I'm aware of is 1mg imprinted with"S 902".

The benzodiazepine molecule, itself, shows up in the drug test. (At the core of all benzos, such as Xanax, Valium, Klonopin and all of the other benzos, is the benzodiazepine molecule.) It is made up of a benzene ring attached to a hexane ring substituted by two azo (nitrogen-based) groups, and then connected to a second benzene ring. What makes each benzo medication different are the additional molecular groupings attached either to the benzene rings or to the azo substituted hexane ring.

Answer

No. Hydroxyzine Pamoate, better known as Vistaril is an antihistamine originally used for pruritus (itching) however Zyrtec (cetirizine), an active metabolite of hydroxyzine and Xyzal (levocetirizine), a slightly altered version of cetirizine are primarily used for pruritus.

Some low quality evidence suggests that Vistaril may be useful in treating anxiety. It is often used in patients with a history of substance abuse or those with a significant risk of developing substance abuse. However it is becoming more commonly used in all patients due to the fact it is not a drug of abuse where as benzodiazepines do have an abuse potential.

Benzodiazepines, with a few exceptions, are easily identified by their name which typically ends with "pam" or "am" examples include

alprazolam, bromazepam,, clonazepam, diazepam, estazolam, flunitrazepam, flurazepam, lorazepam, midazolam, nitrazepam, oxazepam, quazepam, temazepam, and triazolam.

Notable exceptions include chlordiazepoxide and clorazepate.

Well, I know that that is something you shouldn't take, and any drugs are more harmful in the first weeks than the last weeks. Which is a common misconception that its ok in the begining. Its not ok, its the worst time when your baby is developing everything. Just stop now and I'm sure everything will be ok.

Urinalysis or urine drug testing, is the most common type of drug testing, because it is used the most commonly by companies, so it is the most common used in mass and thus in total.

No, it is not.
The feeling one gets from abusing xanax is comparable to that of heroin or other opiates, but they are not the same drug.
Xanax is a benzodiazepine, while heroin, is, as mentioned earlier, of the opiate family.

Not without medical advice.

I know citalopram users from www.nomorepanic.co.uk who have found that taking Kalms (which contain valerian) at HALF the stated dose, helps to treat anxiety. I tried it myself and suffered disorientation and derealisation for about an hour.

While reading up on valerian online I found that citalopram reacts with valerian and taking the two together may caused increased feelings of depression.

A hypothetical patient may be prescribed this combination.

It is important to note, however, that many of these medications have similar side effect profiles, and therefore the combination is not safe for ALL patients.

Additionally, due to these side effects, many of these medications may not be safe for all patients to use simultaneously, even if prescribed for use in the same day.

All four of these medications require a prescription. Therefore they should only be used (alone or in combination) under the specific instructions of your doctor or other provider.

All medications have risks as well as benefits. A prescriber ordering this combination believes that the benefits are greater than the risks. Discuss your individual concerns with the prescriber or your pharmacist.

Do not mix them, could be fatal.

In current obstetrical practice, polyhydramnios and oligohydramnios are usually detected during a routine prenatal ultrasound

Let me tell you this its more than three days trust me i had tried it and it was horrible it has trifling side effects go to the Detroit hospital ask for giligon mid hes in the adult and children doctor areas

This is a drug test used to determine if a person has used Benzodiazepines, which are psychoactive drugs with varying hypnotic, sedative, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant and amnesic properties. It is usually tested for in a urine test. These are the most commonly abused drugs. Some of the common names for various Benzodiazepine drugs are: lorazepam, valium, Xanax, Xanor, Tafil, Alprox, Frontal, Lexotanil, Lexotan, Lexomil, Somalium, Bromam, Librium, Tropium, Risolid, Klopoxid, Gerodorm, Klonopin, Klonapin, Rivotril, Iktorivil, Olcadil, Tranxene, Valium, Apzepam, Stesolid, Vival, Apozepam, Hexalid, Valaxona, ProSom, Rohypnol, Fluscand, Flunipam, Ronal, Rohydorm, Dalmadorm, Dalmane, Restas, Paxipam, Anxon, Dormonoct, Ativan, Temesta, Lorabenz, Loramet, Noctamid, Pronoctan, Nobrium, Dormicum, Versed, Hypnovel, Dormonid, Erimin, Mogadon, Alodorm, Pacisyn, Dumolid, Madar, Stilny, Seresta, Serax, Serenid, Serepax, Sobril, Oxascand, Alopam, Oxabenz, Oxapax, Domar, Lysanxia, Centrax, Doral, Restoril, Normison, Euhypnos, Mylostan, Halcion, Rilamir, Frisium, Urbanol, Anexate, Lanexat, Mazicon, Romazicon, Lunesta, Sonata, Starnoc, Ambien, Nytamel, Stilnoct, Stilnox, Zoldem, Zolnod, Imovane, Rhovane, Zileze; Zimoclone; Zimovane; Zopitan and Zorclone.

Xanax (aka - alprazolam) is an anti-axiety pill that may only be obtained via a physician's prescription. It is habit-forming and should not be mixed with other medications (unless your physician is aware) or taken with alcohol. The 1 mg tablet is a bluish-oval shaped pill.

A great website for drug information is pharmer.org or the "What's My Pill?" site. Go there and type in the numbers or letters or even description of any pill and they should be able to tell you everything about what it contains and who makes it, sometimes with pictures.

none of these drugs are damaging to the liver in small doses. Dr. John

My Doctor has had me on Tramadol and Ativan for about a year now. I have had no problems so far. I am on 50 mg. of Tramadol taken up to 4 times a day if needed, and 1 mg. of Ativan taken up to 4 times a day if needed.

yes. very much. usually a good way of comparison though not exact is 10mg Valium = 1mg xanax even though the numbers are different. just be careful it's better to take a little and then take more in an hour than just fall asleep and waste it or fall asleep and not wake up.

No. Nothing over the counter is going to be quite as effective.

However, that being said, there are natural alternatives. A lot of people with anxiety issues will take Kava Kava, and or GABA. Those with depression can use alternatives such as 5-HTP or St Johns Wort

What happens when you mix Valium and lithium

Ativan is a wonder drug for panic, anxiety and sleep. It comes in 1and 2 mg pills, and is very effective.The only problem is that most doctors do not like to prescribe it long term because they think that it is addictive or hard to stop.I have been on and off ativan for 2 years and it is quite easy to stop.The doctor only gives me 1 month supply at a time though, its very frustrating!

I don't have the answer to this question, but I have some advice: Many drugs can be fatal if mixed. I would only accept an answer from a doctor concerning this question. Not without consulting the prescribing physician. Both medications are used to treat depression, combining the two could result in increased side effects and alter the effect the medication has on the condition for which it was prescribed. Thats really between you and the prescribing doctor, they are 2 well used medications. High sucess rate of treating their respective illness, I would suggest if you have cocerns whether they are good together you check it out with your doctor. Tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline [e.g., Elavil], amoxapine [e.g., Asendin], clomipramine [e.g., Anafranil], desipramine [e.g., Norpramin], doxepin [e.g., Sinequan], imipramine [e.g., Tofranil], nortriptyline [e.g., Aventyl], protriptyline [e.g., Vivactil], trimipramine [e.g., Surmontil])?Taking a tricyclic antidepressant together with paroxetine may increase the risk of side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose of either medicine or check blood levels of the tricyclic antidepressant. Also, taking paroxetine with amitriptyline, clomipramine, or imipramine may increase the chance that the serotonin syndrome will develop. You may want to check out things with your doctor, this doesn't mean they can't be taken together. It just means the interaction might be more adverse if they are. You might be required to keep a closer eye on what and how your medication are interaction, and reacting to you while taking them. It's a good idea to talk this over with the prescribing doctor. Elavil might be prescribed (in lower dose) for many other indication than depression. If you use Elavil to prevent migraines, as example, you can take Paxil for a depression. However, like said before, you might experiment higher side effects related to Paxil and Elavil (dry mouth, diziness, sleeping, etc..)

Tmoxicillin slows down the metabolism rate of wellbutrin. That means that after a while of taking both of them, there becomes a buildup of wellbutrin in your system and this can cause problems or in my case a seizure on the 10th day of taking them both. Bad idea.
