Can you take Prozac and sleeping pills together?

i sure as hell wouldnt! xanax is an anti depresant it makes you sleepy already, why would you take a soma?

Can Lamictal Prozac or lisinopril cause a false-positive screening for benzodiazepines?

No; absolutely not. Every single one of those medications listed are not only members of different chemical classes, but COMPLETELY structurally unrelated. Their metabolites will never be similar.

That said, Lisinopril is not even metabolized by the body. It is excreted through the urine completely unchanged.

It's still safe to list all current prescriptions prior to screenings and provide Rx numbers to avoid confusion. If you don't have a valid prescription for Benzodiazepines, I would recommend getting one through a pysch or a sympathetic internal medicine doctor. Get a small amount. It's too tempting to take more than prescribed and withdrawl is awful. But at least that way you have a valid prescription for a controlled drug.

How much Prozac will cause an over dose?

As someone who has tried to overdose on a mixture or prozac and ibroprofen and then drank heavily, it is more than 35 pills of Prozac & 6 ibroprufen to even do anything more than make you have bad stomach ache, plus the alcohol all it results in is a collapse and hospitalization. In my case I was prescribed Prozac for suicidal tendencies and my doctors informed me that I could not kill myself on it (although I tried). It can cause substantial damage, and I was lucky as I was young my body rebounded, if you are considering this you should go and see your doctor and get referred to a therapist. There was never a risk of death in my case aside from choking on my vomit.

Can I take Xanax Prozac and Chantix together?

What are the side affects of snorting Prozac?

1. Your nose burns for about an hour

2. It feels as if your throat is swollen

Does Prozac treat bipolar disorder?

If you are bipolar, taking any antidepressant medication by itself without a mood stabilizer (like lithium, depakote, or lamictal) can swing you up into a manic episode. Antidepressants increase the levels of seratonin in the brain, and if you don't have a "lid" on the brain chemistry with those mood stabilizing drugs, you can indeed have a "high" swing. It's not just Prozac!

Should you be taking Prozac?

No. Quote from the Related Link: "Do not suddenly stop taking Prozac without checking with your doctor. Side effects may occur. They may include mental or mood changes, numbness or tingling of the skin, dizziness, confusion, headache, trouble sleeping, or unusual tiredness. You will be closely monitored when you start Prozac and whenever a change in dose is made." If you want to stop taking it, you need to TAPER the dosage down, in other words, take a bit less at a time, with a doctor's help.

How deep should a navel piercing be?

It varies from person to person, however, most of them that I have seen are about one eighth to three sixteenths inch deep. Some have been a quarter or more, but I think that would be a bit of overkill. Your piercer (if at all reputable) will be able to place it perfectly for your body. Too deep a piercing and you run a higher risk of infection and ultimately rejection and too shallow and the skin simply will not hold the piercing. It has to be just right or things will go wrong. Also, if you're asking this question in prepartion for a DIY piercing I must tell you that it is not at all recommended and you need to see a professional.

Prozac for a teen?

Is a bad idea. Exist antidepressant drugs that are forbidden for teens under 18 years old, for example Prozac, Zoloft etc.

What are the effects of mixing Prozac and cannabis?

I've taken Prozac alot of times before, but first off....

I'm pretty sure your not physically withdrawing off cannabis because it is something that is generally unheard of but still known. Second, Prozac takes over a week to give antidepressent effects so it is quite stupid to be using Prozac to "Withdraw" off cannabis, if your really feeling like crap and need something to take off the edge, grab yourself some sort of benzo (Xanax, Valium etc.) which has instant effects and will put you to sleep but please understand that these drugs CAN and WILL make you experience physical and emotional dependance ALOT worse than cannabis or any opiate will, this of course only happens with long term daily use but even then you should be careful.

My honest opinion: Its all in your head, your not withdrawing off cannabis (Unless you have been smoking for YEARS, daily) and even then you should just wait it off as there are absolutely no dangers in withdrawing and not consuming cannabis (Trust me :P).

Can Prozac or fluoxetine cause twitching?
