Is it safe too take lorazepam with flexeril?
I assume so as my MD has me on both, 10 mg escitalopram (lexapro) once daily and 10 mg cyclobenzaprine (flexeril) 3 times daily as needed for back pain/acute muscle spasm. As a suggestion, I would not try it for the first time if I had to drive or watch children or something important as the mix could make you very sleepy.
What classification of drug diazepam?
Valium (diazepam) is a benzodiazepine derivative. The chemical name of diazepam is 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin- 2-one. It is a colorless to light yellow crystalline compound, insoluble in water. The empirical formula is C16H13ClN2O.
Start withdrawing the patient on diazepam (Valium), 15 to 25 mg four times daily. Administer sufficient additional diazepam to suppress signs of increased withdrawal (e.g., increased pulse, increased blood pressure, or increased perspiration). Once a diazepam dose is reached which suppresses signs of withdrawal, continue for 2 days then start decreasing by 10% per day. When the diazepam dose approaches 10%, reduce the dose slowly over 3 to 4 days and then discontinue
Can you take NyQuil and Valium together?

Can you take adderall and soma and xanax in the same day?
Lexapro should be taken daily. Taper dose down slowly before ever stopping this medication, Xanax can be taken daily but can be addictive if taken for extented use. I recommend taking as needed. Ambien can be used for insomnia but not recommended for long term use. Use when necessary and limited use will insure effectiveness. Adipex can be used daily but diet and exercise more important. This drug will curb appetite but will cause anxiety and insomnia. Not recommended for long term use. Lexapro, Xanax, Ambien and Adipex can be used during the same day but again understand that the Adipex will cause insomnia, and anxiety and when this drug is eliminated, the need for Xanax and Ambien will diminish.

What opiates test positive on urine tests?
Prescription painkillers such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, and codeine are opiates and are readily detected using urine tests for opiates. In general, prescription painkillers such as the ones given for severe back pain are opiates. There are a large variety of these pills and they are sold under a large number of names. In general, a positive urine test for opiates would not be a problem on a typical (e.g. pre-employment) drug screen as long as you are able to provide proof that you're legitimately prescribed the medicine by your doctor.

How much soma does it take to get high?
2-4 MAX. If you have a tolerance then adjust the dose. But then again anyone asking how to get high off of any substance, I would bet, has a tolerance. Take 3 on an empty stomach, sit back and relax. Not feeling it? Take 1 more. Would not advise going over 4 in a day. Actually I would not advise even taking 4 because that is over the maximum daily recommended dose. What does that mean? Well 1050mg is the max in a day, 3 Somas. ALTHOUGH your question is how to get high, like any addict for a high, who gives a crap about self health? Pop 4.
What will happen if you take 2 cyclobenzaprine 10mg?

This would be OK if you remain under your doctor's supervision. Taking both of these together can cause side effects such as dizziness and confusion. Remember that lorazepam is habit forming, and should be taken exactly as the doctor orders.
Your doctor may recommend a good therapist to help you learn how to use healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety and stress. This way you can CURE your anxiety, get rid of the sedatives, and get back to living!
Flexeril can occasionally give withdrawal symptoms of nausea, headache, flu like feelings, and trouble falling asleep, if you have been on it for a while. I've been on 10mg for 2.5 years and haven't really slept in the last 3 nights since I stopped it despite taking other medications that normally knock me out. I recall this happening last time I stopped taking them after a prolonged period and it just faded over a few days. Taper off it if you can.
No..
Oxycodone is an opiate derivative (more properly termed 'opioid').
Oxycodone is in the same chemical class as Morphine, Codeine, Heroin(diacetylmorphine), and hundreds of others.
These drugs bind to opiate receptors in the brain, and the intestinal tract, depressing respiration, relieving feelings of pain, and usually give off a feeling of euphoria or well-being.
Opiates, obviously, are highly addictive, and stopping opiate use can cause horrible physical withdrawal symptoms.
Carisoprodol is the active ingredient in the medication Soma, and works as a centrally-acting skeletal muscle-relaxant.
It shares no chemical relation to the opiates (Oxycodone), and works at completely different binding sites in the body.
Carisoprodol has, however, been shown to potentiate opiates.
Meaning that if a person were taking oxycodone AND Carisoprodol, the effects of the oxycodone would be stronger.
But, in short.. Soma contains Carisoprodol, and is in no way related to the opiates.
Hope this helps..
Take Care,

Can you take excedrin and soma?
Possibly.
Excedrin (Extra Strength and Migraine) contains three ingredients: acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin (an NSAID), and caffeine.
Soma (carisoprodol) is a medication used as a muscle relaxant. Soma also comes in a preparation where it contains carisoprodol with aspirin, or carisoprodol with aspirin and codeine.
Combining Excedrin with Soma only should be safe. However, combining Excedrin (250mg of aspirin per tablet, 500mg of aspirin per dose) with the Soma compound containing aspirin (325mg of aspirin per tablet) may mean you are getting more aspirin in a single dose than is considered safe.
Does diazepam make you sleepy?
Yes, it does.
It is even sometimes prescribed for insomnia to take advantage of it's ability to make you drowsy - although insomnia has also been reported as a side-effect in some people taking it for other reasons.
Drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, or headaches are known possible side effects. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
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
