Can you take both dramamine and Tylenol cold medicine?

The answer is probably yes - dramamine is an antihistamine while Tylenol is generally acetominophen (an NSAID). However, if the Tylenol has any other active ingredient (check the back of the box), I would not mix the medications without consulting a pharmacist.

# buprenorphine (Ingredient of Suboxone) and Celexa (citalopram) (Moderate Drug-Drug) PROBLEM: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities. ----

Can diazepam and clonazepam be taken together?

Both of these medications are part of the Bendo family of drugs and are usually prescribed for mild to severe anxiety. Both of these medications have a calming affect that help settle ones nerves and anxious feelings. Usually one of these medications should dull the affects of an anxiety attack but if the dosage is low (Diazepam 2mg for instance, or Clonazepam .5mg) than maybe you need a higher dosage of either medication (Diazepam comes in 5mg and 10mg and Clonazepam 1mg and 2mg). Increasing the dosage would most likely treat your anxiety much better and would not force you to take both Diazepam and Clonazepam together. But if you are in a situation in which you can not increase your dosage than taking both together would be ok, since both do basically the same thing but just watch out for an overdose and the side effects. I take 6mg of Alprazolam (Xanax) a day one 2mg Xanax 3x daily and also 2mg of Lorazepam (Ativan) 1x daily. I have also been on Diazepam (Valium), 10mg Valium 5x daily. I have taken these medications together and have had no problem but the side effects will increase. Also another point to take into consideration is if you have ever taken any of these medications and have built up a tolerance or if it would be your first time taking the drug. If it would be your first time I would suggest that you stick to one at a time, see what each one does to you, the side effects and overall just how you feel. Once you have a feel for both then use your own personal judgment as to whether or not you should take both at the same time.

NO YOU SHOULD NOT MIX THE TWO,NEVER

Can you take Ibuprofen with trimethoprim?

You can take it, but it's best to space out the doses. If you take them at the same time, the abrasiveness to the stomach can be too much.

In most cases you will get heartburn of some sort--you CAN'T take any antacids. Also, don't lay down for about an hour, as the doxycycline will dissolve in your throat and you will have way more problems than just an infection or heartburn!

Why cant you eat grapefruit while taking Viagra?

We're not sure who "they" are, but "they" seem to be misinformed.

None of the product literature for Viagra makes any mention of grapefruit. Eating a high-fat meal just before or at the same time as taking Viagra can slow down the absorption rate of the drug. That is the only documented food interaction.

Marijuana and Prozac drug interaction?

Prozac and marijuana are not a harmful combination; you won't feel any different and it does not harm you like alcohol and Prozac do. Marijuana can make you very paranoid, which is bad for people taking Prozac for anxiety disorders, but the feeling goes away if it comes at all, so I would say you should be fine.

""Prozac and Weed ARE a bad combination. i looked up this question early today, and i followed this advice above, that you "wont feel any different" . i have smoked lots of weed on welbutrine, seroquel, resperdol. and it wasnt very bad, besides the nervous tics. but when i smoked 2 puffs of good weed this afternoon, while im on 20 MG Prozac, it went ok the first 15 minutes, but then it went downhill very very quick, I got VERY confused, emotional, moody, VERY extremly depressed, i have never experienced a darkness quite like this, please just don't do it, every kind of weed is different and we are all different, and we can never ever know how it will react. and what i experienced was very intense and messed up, and i am a fairly stable person, it was all the medication mixed with weed messing with my emotions and mind, and the chemicals, my moods were off the chart, from very confused one minute, 2 seconds later i would get sad and very dark, and then happy happy joy joy.. if this sounds fun, well, then try it. but u really shouldn't.""

Actually the first person to answer your question is correct. To feel the effects of medicines like Prozac, Celexa, a generic form, or Citalopram, another generic form, you must take the medicine everyday for at two weeks so the SSRI's or the serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors build up enough in your brain to help relieve mild anxiety. Just taking a pill of Prozac and smoking weed will not cause horriffying effects

-------------------

The most important thing you need to understand is that Prozac dosage has to be evaluated almost constantly for the first 8 weeks or so after starting it or altering the dosage. What this means for your question about mixing cannabis with it is that you certainly should not take cannabis for that 8 week period. Also keep in mind that during or even at the end of that 8 week period your doctor may want to alter the dosage. This is actually quite common and what that means is it could be quite a while before you can think about taking cannabis after starting out on Prozac.

However, I guess part of the answer would have to include the fact that you should never take Prozac with alcohol as this can cause serious anger problems. So if you have been on your dosage for more than 8 weeks and are thinking of taking cannabis very rarely as an alternative to alcohol you might like to try a very small amount to see how it goes. But I must re state that this should never be done within the first 8 weeks of a new dosage.

Keep in mind that you started on Prozac due to problems being able to cope in society and that if your dosage is correct you should not really need another drug to have a good time any more. You might find a soft non-alcoholic drink would be a better option at parties. Get the dosage of Prozac right and you should be both confident and happy, this is why it is important not to mess with other drugs. It is hard to correctly gauge your dosage when your messing up your mind using other stuff.

Is it ok if took ibuprofen and penicillin?

Can't say for a fact yes, but I am on amoxicillin for an infected c-section incision and was also given Celebrex for gallbladder attacks which is in the same drug group as ibuprofen (both non-steroid anti-inflammatory). Best thing is to ask a Dr. though as using both could increase the risk of gastrointestinal reactions.

Can you take clonazepam with vicodin?

No need for an answer. I found out myself. Not. Good mix. My prescription Ativan alone I better taken alone. It works better than combining the two. A matter of fact the effectiveness is increased by NOT mixing the two. By the WA they are both prescriptions f mine. Nothing illegal going on here.

Can you mix Zoloft and excedrin?

There are no direct physical dangers from mixing Zoloft and Ecstasy (MDMA). Zoloft (or to use its chemical name, Sertraline) is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), the same class of anti-depressants as Prozac (Flouxetine), Celexa(Citalopram Hydrobromide), Luvox (Fluvoxamine), and Paxil (Paroxetine). These chemicals will actually reduce or even completely eliminate the effects of Ecstasy when the two are taken together. Also Celexa in particular is sometimes used to treat cocaine-dependency and may reduce cocaine effects and craving.

Can you take clonazepam and Suboxone?

>No, this combination is not safe because it can cause significant respiratory depression. There >are many doctors that prescribe both of these together. it All depends on the amount of >suboxone you are taking.. and of course never go overboard with the Benzoz..

The above answer was lacking in some details. Yes, you can safely take the two together. The important thing is not to take too high a dose of the klonopin. I take 12mg of suboxone and anywhere from 1 - 2mg of klonopin. I would not take a much higher dose of the klonopin as there is a chance for respiratory depression. My doctor is a 25 year veteran and has been involved with suboxone treatment for the last 5 years, so I trust his opinion.
