Can you take Zoloft with black cohosh?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have recently been taking CoQ10. I started out with 200 mg. a day. I noticed that after about 2 or 3 weeks, that I was unable to sleep. I cut back to 100mg a day, but have the same side effects. I also take 200mg of Zoloft. So....for me, I think that I am unable to take these two together. I am very disappointed, as I had so much energy!

Is it ok to take Concerta and focalin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Both are forms of methylphenidate, so it is very unlikely that both would be prescribed together. Both could be safely taken together at low dosages. However, taking both together will have a compounding effect.

Can etodolac and oxycodone be used together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it they can be used together. The Etodolac will basically double the strength of the oxycodone at least from my experience. My step-mom was prescribed both of them after surgery at a time when i was experiencing massive migraines. She gave them to me and i took them together and separately to see what wa best and that was my experience so be very careful, because the combo is very potent

Can l take aspen warfarin 5mg with ecotrin 81mg together?

User Avatar

Asked by Georgekeoghgp8071

Warfarin is an anticoagulant, lots of medicines don't mix will with anticoagulants. Ecotrin warns not to use it if you are already taking warafin, as does arycor. Mixing these medications with warafin can cause excessive bleeding, the best thing is to contact the doctor who prescribed the warafin as I am not a doctor .

Can you mix alprazolam and oxycodone together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Effects of having OCD and taken cannabis and drinking alcohol?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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!

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.
