Benzodiazepines

no, they don't test for benzos

Because I'm prescribed lorazepam and clonazepam.

yes, you can but should you?? It will get you a very euphoric high but with extreme possibilities of an overdose. Xanax is the worse for this. Clonazepam is a bit safer in my experience. Good Luck. (I AM NOT A DOCTOR)

I took Xanax during my pregnancy with my first child. He has been late on every milestone, and is now almost 3 years old and still not talking, not saying any words at all, and he has never mimicked anything like other babies do.

I do not know for sure that this is a birth defect caused by Xanax, but there is no other reason he would be having these issues.

Birth defects are actual things that are wrong with the body, not lack of keeping up developmentally with other children.

Yes, lorazepam and fluoxetine can be taken together, but it should be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine that can help with anxiety, while fluoxetine is an SSRI used for depression and anxiety. Combining these medications may increase the risk of sedation and other side effects, so it's important to follow your doctor's guidance and report any unusual symptoms. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Adderall, Prozac, and Xanax can potentially be prescribed together, but this combination should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Each medication affects the brain differently, and combining them may increase the risk of side effects or interactions. It's important for individuals to consult their doctor to ensure safety and monitor for any adverse reactions. Always follow medical advice regarding medication use.

Prozac (fluoxetine) and Ativan (lorazepam) serve different purposes; Prozac is an antidepressant, while Ativan is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety. Some healthcare providers might consider using an antidepressant like Prozac to help manage anxiety as part of a tapering plan for Ativan, but this should be done under medical supervision. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for a tailored approach to safely discontinue Ativan.

Yes. They are equal in strength. See the related link below the answer.

Select: Clonazepam --> Alprazolam or vice versa.

The ratio of strength is 1:1. They are the strongest benzodiazepines out there. 4mg of Xanax or Klonopin is equal to roughly 80mg of Valium (Diazepam).

Klonopin is available in 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2mg tablets. Klonopin has a minty taste, so it is easily tolerated in the mouth, can be rapidly absorbed through the buccal lining in the mouth if it is crushed up and held in the mouth for about 5 minutes. It dissolves fairly easily with saliva. Xanax (Alprazolam), on the other hand, doesn't taste too well, and usually is swallowed whole.

There is no point to ingesting these drugs intranasally, it will only take longer for them to kick in.

Klonopin is only active for about 6 hours, but has a very long half-life of metabolites (30-60 hours) and does not come in an extended release form. Xanax is available in regular form and XR (extended-release) form.

Moderate anxiety is usually treated with Xanax. Severe anxiety is treated with Klonopin. They are also sometimes prescribed for short-term insomnia.

Avoid mixing these drugs with alcohol, or limit intake of alcohol to one or two drinks. Drinking in excess with just 2mg of Xanax or Klonopin active in the system can cause death in a average-sized teenager or adult.

Take extreme caution when on any benzodiazepine if you are planning on operating a car or machinery until you know how it affects your ability to operate such machinery.

Yes, it is generally possible to take 20 mg of Lexapro (escitalopram) and 1 mg of Xanax (alprazolam) together, but this should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Both medications have different purposes, with Lexapro being an antidepressant and Xanax an anti-anxiety medication. It's important to consult with a doctor to ensure safety, monitor for potential interactions, and adjust dosages as needed. Always follow your healthcare provider's advice regarding medication.

Ativan, or lorazepam, is a medication that belongs to the benzodiazepine class and is often used to treat anxiety. It typically induces feelings of calmness, relaxation, and reduced anxiety. Some users may also experience drowsiness or sedation, which can be beneficial for those struggling with insomnia or agitation. However, individual reactions can vary, and it's important to use it under medical supervision due to potential side effects and dependency risks.

should be ok, but ativan is a depressant tranquilliser so why would you need to take 5htp which is an atidepressant.??

There is a risk of doubling sedation in some and in others the 5htp will counteract the sedative of the ativan.

I doubt either is what you want.

I dont think its dangerous but just unnecesary.

iF YOU ARE JUST TREATING ANXIETY Since they are both short acting, you should take the 5htp in the morning and the ativan at bedtime.

Suboxone has an opiate blocker as well as buprenorphine, so taking other opiates with it will cause strong negative effects in the user. Like an alcoholic on antibuse, any ingestion of normal opiates/opioids with suboxone will be very unpleasant for the ingestor. There is no reason to take buprenorphine along with Lortab, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, methadone, etc as the primary function of suboxone is relief of opiate withdrawal symptoms. Taking opiates/opioids would, in theory, relieve withdrawal symptoms adequately and possibly produce the dissociative effect the addict is seeking. The other form of buprenorphine medication, known as Subutex, does not contain the opiate blocker, and therefore would not produce the same negative effects if the user ingested opiates/opioids with it, however, buprenorphine is EXTREMELY POTENT and should be used with caution, even if the user is experienced with opiate/opioid medications and/or heroin/opium.

I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.
