Combining benzodiazepines with alcohol leads to amnesia more often that not. It's also a dangerous combination as both are depressants and can lead to severe respiratory depression, coma and even death.

Is 5mg of Valium taken every night safe?

I am prescribed 15mgs three times a day. I have been for quite some time. I suffer from a panic dissorder and have had great success with diazepam. I take a huge dose every day and have felt side effects, but nothing huge. I would recomend a 10 mg dose and not worry at all.

If you have 10mg Valium for a dental appointment but you need 15mg can you add 1mg Ativan and get the same basic effect?

Most benzodiazepine equivalency charts show 10mg Valium = 1mg Ativan so it should work, HOWEVER, be cautious when subsitituting or combining benzos as effects are VERY relative to each person. Paradoxical reactions can occur in one benzo and not another. For example, My cousin can't take Valium- it makes her hyper and irritable, but 0.5mg Ativan knocks her out.

Will taking Xanax as prescribed by a doctor affect a drug test?

Depending on what is the nature of the test. If a Doctor prescribes it to you then i wouldn't think you would be punished for it. However if your test is for example the military you may want to be sure the condition your doctor is treating you for does not exclude you from the military on medical grounds.

Is it ok to take Valium with nopraxen?

I'm assuming you mean naproxen (Aleve)? The answer is it depends. If you are taking Valium as an anticonvulsent for seizures you need to talk to your pharmacist or doctor. Otherwise there is no interaction I would be concerned about. An important thing to mention is do not drink alcohol while taking Valium and always take naproxen with food.

Does restoryl and Valium come up as the same in a urine test?

They are both benzodiazepines. If the drug tests for benzos in a generic way, either will produce a positive result. Some tests can detect a specific benzo.

If you have a valid prescription for both, you should have no problems.

What is atypical benzodiazepine?

A "typical" benzodiazepine has a standard chemical structure of a benzene and a diazepine ring fused with other chemical strucures fuzed to this ring at a certain place (usually they're called 1,4 Benzodiazepines). Atypical benzodiazepines include the thiobenzodiazepine Olanzapine (Zyprexa) as well as drugs that are pharmacologically very similar to 1, 4 Benzodieazepines (ex: Clobazam aka ONFI). Onfi has a slight variation in chemical structure but produces anticonvulsant and anxiolytic effects. Zyprexa has a significantly different pharmacological effect (it's an antipsychotic).

How many 0.5 mg ativan would it take to match the power of a 0.5 mg Klonopin?

You should check with a pharmacist, or doctor, since Ativan and Klonopin are used for a variety of conditions. As with all medications, they should only be taken as directed by a physician.

If I took 6 mg of xanax earlier this morning early afternoon is it safe for you to take another 6 plus mg this evening I weight 250 lbs Will that cause me to OD?

Xanax has a half life of about 4-6 hours, so it probably won't cause you to OD if you have built up the tolerance to handle 6 mg. Seriously, though... 12 mg of Xanax in one day? You've got to check yourself, my man. You are headed down a very negative path. Don't go deeper. Help is available.

Can xanax affect your performance when you play football?

At a high enough dose it is similar to being drunk, so yes, of course. On a 0.25 mg for example, it may only calm you and not affect coordination.

How much klonopin is too much How many mg's does it take to overdose I am not trying to OD I am asking because my sister is using it recreationally and taking about 22mg's daily if not more?

I take it recreationally as well and I thought 6 mg at once was a huge amount. OD'ing is based on tolerance. I'd be less worried about her over dosing and more worried about withdrawl effects.
