Is crime cause by drugs and alcohol?
The cause of crime is people who are more interested in getting what they want than they are in obeying the law. Addiction is one reason.
Can you mix alprazolam and oxycodone together?
A doctor would never prescribe these drugs together except under extreme conditions which don't allow for other sedatives/pain management.
As for recreational use, this combination of drugs has been recently dubbed the Heath Ledger Cocktail, as this mixture (in low doses, mind you, was the cause of the actors sudden death. Death leading from this drug-drug interaction is more common in the elderly and anyone with depressed circulatory or central nervous conditions.
So, if this is a recreational question, the answer is yes and no. I've known people that have used signifcant amounts of each separately, and eventually they combined them. But that's not to say that they weren't playing Russian Roulette.
Can you take GABA and Concerta at the same time?
I take 56mg of Concerta and 750mg of GABA and I do not recommend taking the both! I've been getting hot flashes, dizzy spells and increased heart rate. At times I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. I recommend if mixing the both medications to get a low dosage of GABA or a lover dosage of Concerta. And do not drink energy drinks if taking both medications, it felt horrible.
Can you take expired Concerta?
The shelf life of Concerta is 3 years. Any time after that, it will start to decay and the chemicals will break down. Since it is an FDA approved drug, the break down should be non-toxic to the environment. Take expired Concerta at your own risk.
It depends on which poppers you are using. Probably 2-5 minutes per sniff.
Effects of having OCD and taken cannabis and drinking alcohol?
It can be an effective reliever to the symptoms of OCD and has no side effects on your body unlike most of the drugs prescribed by physicians for the treatment of OCD. That being said, marijuana is still a drug and should not be abused. I myself use marijuana recreationaly and although the drug does not leave me with any physical craving, i still have a psychological craving when i am without it, all be it slight and not distracting from everyday life, it is still a craving regardless of form. What i am saying is that this and every other drug provided to us, even if by mother nature, should be respected and never abused.
Marijuana is still a very beautiful medicine which i am grateful for. It is a drug i would have no problem recommending to you or anyone, i just thought it would be best to outline the "terms and conditions". Free the weed!

This is contraindicated because these two drugs interact to increase the effects of each other. You can get dangerous and possibly life threatening side effects by mixing these medicines. You can develop a condition called Serotonin Syndrome, which includes severe, deadly symptoms. These include confusion, hallucinations, racing heart, increasing body temperature which can lead to death, sudden drop in blood pressure, coma, irritibility and violence, shivering, sweating, and muscle rigidity.
5-hydroxytryptophan may interact with many other medicines, possibly increasing side effects or resulting in decreased therapeutic effects. Do not take 5-hydroxytryptophan without first talking to your doctor if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following: * a monoamine oxidase inhibitor such as tranylcypromine (Nardil), phenelzine (Parnate), or isocarboxazid (Marplan); * a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor such as citalopram (Celexa), fluvoxamine (Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), or sertraline (Zoloft); * a tricyclic antidepressant such as amitriptyline (Elavil), amoxapine (Asendin), clomipramine (Anafranil), desipramine (Norpramin), doxepin (Sinequan), imipramine (Tofranil), nortriptyline (Pamelor), protriptyline (Vivactil), or trimipramine (Surmontil); * bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban); * trazodone (Desyrel) or nefazodone (Serzone); * venlafaxine (Effexor); * mirtazapine (Remeron); * an HIV/AIDS protease inhibitor such as indinavir (Crixivan), amprenavir (Agenerase), nelfinavir (Viracept), ritonavir (Norvir), or saquinavir (Fortovase, Invirase); or * an HIV/AIDS nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor such as delavirdine (Rescriptor), efavirenz (Sustiva), or nevirapine (Viramune).

What is the difference between sustained release and controlled release drug delivery system?
Time Release Technology also known as Sustained-release (SR), extended-release(ER, XR, or XL), time-release or timed-release, controlled-release (CR), or continuous-release (CR or Contin) pills are tablets or capsules formulated to dissolve slowly and release a drug over time. The advantages of sustained-release tablets or capsules are that they can often be taken less frequently than instant-release formulations of the same drug, and that they keep steadier levels of the drug in the bloodstream. The first Sustained release tablets were made by Howard Press, in Hoboken, NJ in the early 50's and the first tablets relased under his process patent were called "Nitroglyn" and made under license by Key Corp., in Florida. Today most are formulated so that the active ingredient is embedded in a matrix of insoluble substance (various: some acrylics, even chitin, these are often patented) so that the dissolving drug has to find its way out through the holes in the matrix. In some SR formulations the matrix physically swells up to form a gel, so that the drug has first to dissolve in matrix, then exit through the outer surface.
There are certain considerations for the formation of sustained release formulation:
- If the active compound has a long half-life (over 6 hours), it is sustained on its own.
- If the pharmacological activity of the active compound is not related to its blood levels, time releasing then has no purpose.
- If the absorption of the active compound involves an active transport, the development of a time-release product may be problematic.
- Finally, if the active compound has a short half-life, it would require a large amount to maintain a prolonged effective dose. In this case, a broad therapeutic window is necessary to avoid toxicity; otherwise, the risk is unwarranted and another mode of administration would be recommended.
The difference between controlled release and sustained release is that controlled release is a perfectly zero order release; that is, the drug releases over time irrespective of concentration. Sustained release implies slow release of the drug over a time period. It may or may not be controlled release.
Is it safe to take nortriptyline with abilify?
Combining nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, with Abilify (aripiprazole), an atypical antipsychotic, is generally considered safe under the supervision of a healthcare provider. However, it is important to monitor for potential side effects, as both medications can affect neurotransmitter levels. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting or combining medications to ensure safety and appropriate management of any potential interactions.
