Xanax is a type of drug that comes under the category of benzodiazepines. Xanax has many uses in mental health disorders, such as anxiety and panic disorders or depression.
What would make you test positive for benzo if you have never taken them?
There are a host of other prescription drugs that contain Benzodiazapine - Valium,Xanax, Lorazepam, just about any major anti-anxiety drug.
You're supposed to put down all drugs you're taking prior to the test so they can rule out false positives from prescription drugs or natural herbs. If you didn't do that, then they have no way of knowing you may have taken something containing it.
Some test panels will show that you have taken Benzos even though you are sure you haven't.

Expired Valium how bad can it be?
You should follow the use-by or throw-away dates offerred by the manufacturers.
If you're asking, have I heard of any problems with Valium used after the use-by date, if the tablets have been kept dry and out of sunlight, I have not ever heard of a problem.
Note Im not a doctor or a pharmacist -- just a guy with an opinion :}
The significant interaction is that the medication combination can have additive effects causing more sleepiness and increased CNS depression. In some cases people have a very difficult time functioning because they are so tired. Those side effects would occur almost immediately so if you are tolerating the medication now that should not be an issue.
Also if you have a personal or family history of diabetes or other major metabolic problems then there is an increased risk (although it is rare) for developing diabetes, even more uncommon potential problems are neuroleptic malignant syndrome or serotonin syndrome. Using both Seroquel and Cymbalta do increase these risks however the majority of the risk comes from Seroquel. Seroquel can also cause tardive dyskinesia, a serious movement disorder that typically lasts for years (and often for life). However most people, especially those with bipolar or a psychotic disorder don't have any of these rare reactions.
Overall the medications are not strange at all. Granted it is a very sedating combination and that is the primary thing you need to be aware of.
It may also be worth talking with your doctor if you find you are tired a lot or you are having other side effects.
As for addiction you do take two controlled substances, Klonopin and Ativan. However neither drug is significantly addictive. Benzodiazepines, the class of drugs Klonopin and Ativan are in,
have been shown to have a moderate abuse liability in animal and human testing. It is important to avoid increasing the dose of either drug, especially the Klonopin since you take it every day. As long as you do not start dose escalation (taking more without doctor approval) addiction is rare. In fact 80-90% of benzodiazepine addicts have a separate active addiction to something like heroin, alcohol, or cocaine and they use the benzodiazepines to augment other drugs or help them "come down" of off stimulants.
AnswerIIII:Yes, you need to be careful with Alcohol for sure. I would then susspect addictions too. I am on Seroquel and have had a bad reaction with Alcohol.My doctor always says to me,"One should never drink alcohol with Seroquel. The Pharmacist,tells me it is not advisable and is dangerous.
The pharmacist said though, if you should try Alcohol, drink very little at first and see how you react. So I did try it. For me it makes me tense instead of relaxed.It makes me feel like I have taken more Seroquel. On the very first beer, I felt increase in muscle spasms of my tongue and back. My heart raced 5 hrs later and I felt like dying. I try'd a sip of a stronger cocktail once with Vodka and emiediately had one of the worst headaches you could imagine.
I have also researched and found interactions with grapefruit juice and Seroquel. Drugs that sedate you will make you way more sedated. You should check even over the counter meds and prescriptions with your pharmacist. Even some cold remidies may cause a problem.
Remember everyone is different. I had a reaction with Seroquel and Celexa.
I think a little Ativan should be fine, but be careful when driving and other tasks with needed mental and motor functions.
What cough medicine can you take while taking Valium?
i took a valium in the afternoon and at 5pm i started taken cough medicine. should i not have had cough medicine to nite
Is Lorazepam safe to take if you have had a stroke?
I would say it's OK because lorasepam(Ativan) is a Benzedrine tranquilizer which is not a contributing factor for having a stroke. However depending on how the stroke affected you, as to balance,loss of coordination..etc, Then i would first ,by all means, check with your doctor because this drug will make you drowsy.
Can you take cold meds and Ativan 0.5 together?
Carefully, If it has an antihistamine in it. The 2 drugs will compound the effects of each other. Less will do more.
Which benzodiazepine not inhibited rem sleep?
Valium, Halcion, to name a few. In fact, however, I don't know if there is one that inhibits REM. Having said that, certain drugs have different effects depending on the user. But if you haven't already, I would definitely experiment with your doctor's approval ones that work for you.
There may also be an undiscovered, underlying cause for your absent or lack of REM which would be better diagnosed and treated by a psychiatrist or neuroligist. Hope this helps.
Best, Richie
What happens if you sniff diazepam?
I you sniff a dizapam or Valium it won't do you any good until it goes down the back of your throat and gets into your stomach. So the best way to take them is orally. The are not water soluble so they won't get into your nose like cocaine or any other drug you can sniff. Hope this helps... Best of luck.....
Can one dose of benzodiazepines cause birth defects in unborn fetuses?
One dose should not harm the child but regular doses will. Do not take medication that is not safe to do so during pegnancy.
How many xanax doesit take to pass out?
The dose it takes to make a person pass out from using xanax or other benzodiazepines depends on that person's bmi, other biological factors, and if they also took other drugs or medications with it. The amount is not the same for everyone. Also, when xanax is taken with other depressants, such as alcohol, the risk of passing out and other dangerous consequences are increased.
Does Valium and xanax test out the same in a urinalysis?
yes, they are both benzodiazapines which is what the test is looking for.
Will cps drug test you for xanax if you was caught with pot?
In most states, Child Protective Services (CPS) will conduct a drug test when a drug problem is being investigated, such as being caught with pot in jurisdictions where it is illegal. When they issue a drug test, it tests for a wide variety of illicit substances, one of which is the benzodiazepine class of drugs. Xanax (or alprazolam, which is the generic name) belongs to this class, and will show up in the drug test.
/ drink LOTS of water
a one time use of 2mg of Xanax gives you 3 weeks at least for it to clear granted it is a urinalysis. Everyone is different in how their bodies eliminate substances from the body, but as a general rule the half life ( the time it takes for half of the drug to be excreted/eliminated) will tell you how long it normally takes for the drug to be completely eliminated by doubling it taking into account the dose taken. This information is widely available on the web, but Xanax is a short acting benzo versus one such as Valium which is long acting. I wouldn't worry about it at all unless some other testing method is employed such as hair testing-then you're busted unless you have a valid prescription for it. If you don't have one then abstain for here on out.

If you take more then you are suppose to what does xanax do to you?
makes you not care about anything. makes you a little loopy or forgetful but most of the time you just get tired and fall asleep.
Will carisoprodol show up as a benzodiazepine?
No. They are two different classes of drugs. Soma's action is primarily via its primary active metabolite- a drug called Miltown (meprobamate), a now seldom prescribed anti anxiety medication also used as a muscle relaxant. Although Soma and Miltown effect many of the same neurotransmitters as benzodiazepines they are chemically significantly different.
