Does xanax and Valium show up the same in urine test?
Yes. Both are benzodiazepines, so they are in the same family. Drug tests which are sensitive enough to differentiate the two are extremely expensive, and chances are whatever test you're taking is not going to be that sensitive. Best of luck to you - drug testing is an invasion of privacy and should be illegal. It's your body!

Why is it unsafe to take oxycodone with xanax?
Because your taking a painkiller( a upper) with a anxiety pill(a downer). Only mix uppers with uppers & never mix downers bro. Oxycotton & vicoden are my favorite. 40mg oc & 2 750 vics. Best nights ever lol.
What is Alprazolam generic for?
The generic name for Xanax is alprazolam. Most "Xanax" now dispensed by pharmacies is in the generic form of alprazolam (a short-acting benzodiazepine medication, that is more dependence producing than other benzos, due to the fact that it develops its peak concentration in the bloodstream more quickly than other benzos, and also crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily, due to its lipophilicity (or lipid attraction nature).
Xanax addiction and Valium addiction are more common than addictions to all other drugs in their class (benzodiazepines) combined.
_____________________________________________________________________
Alprazolam is the generic name of Xanax. Other North American brand names for alprazolam include:
In the United States: Xanax (alprazolam), Xanax XR (alprazolam extended-release), Niravam (alprazolam sublingual), and alprazolam intensol solution.
In Canada Xanax, Xanax TS, Apo-Alprax, Apo-Alprax TS, Nu-
AlprazAlpraz, Novo-Alprazol, Alti-Alprazolam, Gen-Alprazolam. All these are different brands of alprazolam and Xanax TS and Apo-Alprax TS are 2 mg alprazolam tablets.
In Mexico Tafil and Alzam are brand names for alprazolam.
It is rare for Pfizer brand Xanax to be dispensed in North America but in many countries in Europe brand name Xanax is extremely common and cheap.
I feel I should address the misconception that Xanax addiction and, according to the other answer, Valium (diazepam) addiction are the most common.
Outside of The US Xanax is not a commonly used drug, simply comparing the most prescribed benzodiazepines between The US and Canada, where prescribing rates are the same is an indicator:
Most prescribed benzodiazepines in The United States
1) Xanax (alprazolam)
2) Ativan (lorazepam)
3) Klonopin (clonazepam)
4) Valium (diazepam)
5) Restoril (temazepam)
Most prescribed benzodiazepines in Canada
1) Ativan (lorazepam)
2) Rivotril (clonazepam)
3) Serax (oxazepam)
4) Restoril (temazepam)
5) Xanax (alprazolam)
Internationally Nimetazepam, Rohypnol (flunitrazepam), Versed, Hypnovel (midazolam), Mogadon (nitrazepam), Restoril (temazepam), Halcion (triazolam), and Valium (diazepam) are the most abused benzodiazepines and many countries have higher restrictions on many of these drugs compared to other benzodiazepines.
In The US Xanax is most abused however the rate of abuse is equal to the number of prescriptions given. This also applies to other benzodiazepines except clonazepam. Clonazepam is the second most abused benzodiazepine in The US with and 50% in crease in abuse yearly. Statistically Xanax is not the most abused on a per capita basis, it is clonazepam. Also Valium abuse and rates of prescription are drooping in The US and Canada.
Can you mix Xanax and trazodone?
Yes you cn take xanax with trazadone' I have taken it together for about a year. My Dr. prescribes it to me, and I havent had any problems, just take what the prescription says because if you don't then you can actually wig out, and its not a good thing.... you can black out and then you remember noting.
How do cholestyramine and colestipol affect breastfeeding?
Cholestyramine and colestipol will not directly harm an unborn baby, because these drugs are not taken into the body. However, the drugs may keep the mother's body from absorbing vitamins that she and the baby need.
you ever heard of xanax bars? its a rectangular pill split into four 1 mg sections. so yes. it does.
sry to say this, but no it does not come in 4mg's. It comes in .5mg/1mg/2mg/3mg. The one the guy above is talking about is the 2mg bars. they have 3 scores on them so you can break them into 4 pieces of .5mg each.
actually im a nurse and pharmacy technician and xanax prescribed generic alprazolam comes in .25mg/.5mg/1mg/2mg/3.5mg and 4mg but each dose is designed depending on the severity .25 is generally given to heart patients .5 and 1mg are given to ppl with mild anxiety and 2mg are prescribed for severe cases and they are regulated to the quanity that can be given the 3.5 are hardly on the market because the drug is so potent and its prescribed in certain situations its not generally given to the public the 4mg is the same way because it is so potent 4mg of xanax would put a person with anxiety even severe to sleep but oncology and hospice are allowed to prescribe it. Its very uncommon though most pharmacies dont carry the 3.5 or the 4mg xanax. 2mg is even a stretch for most doctors because its so widely abused they are restricted to the amount they can prescribe and also insurance veries most insurances will only cover a small percentage and the medication is very expensive my husband is on ssid and he paid 85$ a month for a 60 count 2mg xanax now with the new medicare he has they limit him to 90 per 30 days and they pay 75% of the medication. a 30 count 4mg would run a person close to 100$ and most doctors are within limits to write at that high of a doseage. its hard to even find a 4 or 3.5 in a pdr because of the rarity of the medication, but i know they exist because they hospital i used to work for had them on hand.
What does xanax show up as drug screen?
Xanax, or alprazolam, shows up as a benzodiazepine on a drug screen. If the drug screen has a separate toxicology section, it may show alprazolam metabolites specifically.
If they are testing for BZD's in general will there be any difference as to how each (clono & XANAX) show up on the tox screen?
Can you take Xanax with doxylamine succinate?
This is a question for your doctor as they have your medical history and know your dosages. Don't trust people that only inform others on here-say... There are multiple cases of Drug Toxicity reported when combining xanax with doxylamine succinate.
Xanax, otherwise known by its chemical name Alprazolam has an oral bio-availability of 80-90%. That means that 80-90% of the drug is absorbed into your system when you swallow the pill.
You CANNOT insuffulate (snort) Xanax (Alprazolam); this drug is not water soluble meaning your nasal passage will not be able to extract the drug and enter it into your system, your only hope is that the nasal drip reaches your stomach which is redundant as taking them orally goes through the stomach anyways.
I would say the insuffulated bio-availability of Xanax is around 1-5% (this is a crude estimate). The oral bio-availability of 80-90% is REMARKABLY high (IV injection leads to 99-100%).
Xanax also kicks in very quickly, one of the fastest onsets of any drugs I've ever taken, and snorting it relies on it going through the stomach as it won't be picked up nasally so your actually looking at waiting more time when snorting it. Not only that you won't feel a thing (unless you are having a psycho-somatic placebo reaction).
Many people here say, "No, don't do anything unless the doctor tells you to" and "Never take it other than directed". I am not one of these people.
I am here to tell you, no you can't because it doesn't work, it won't get you buzzed, and the pills have a high bio-availability and work quickly anyways.
How long does Valium stay in your system if your on xanx 1 mg?
i have a drug test tomorrow i took 2 10 mg valuim Friday and im prescibed xanax 1 mg will the valuim show up
How long does it take for one zanex to go out of system?
The length of time that Xanax is present in one's system depends on a few factors like age, weight, height, level of physical activity, and health status. It also depends on how long a patient has been taking the drug. If the patient has only taken one dose, it should be out of their system in five to ten days. If multiple doses have been taken it could take a week to ten days or longer. It would take a urine test for a doctor to be able to confirm that the drug had exited the patient's system.
Can you take unisom and Xanax?
That's not good. That would be two antihistamines and a respiratory suppressant. The active ingredient in unisom is an antihistamine...it makes you sleepy as a side effect. That's too many sleep agents.
Yes it can, considering the standard dosages are from between .25 and 2.0 mg. You could either die from the actual overdose, or you could find yourself choking to death trying to swallow 115 pills (and thats assuming your taking the 2mg pills). If your stuck with the really weak ones (.25mg), you could find yourself trying to choke down 920 pills!!
Can you take Celexa with Xanax?
celexa is an ssri antisepressant, xanax is a benzodiazepine... the mixture of these 2 srugs are fine... though whilst starting celexa you may get side effects, if 1 of these is drowziness then xanax may increase it
Why does combination of methadone and Xanax kill?
because both drugs are CNS (central nervous system) depressants so in combination they inhibit the ability of your brain to properly communicate with your heart and lungs, so your heart and lungs just eventually quit functioning. Don't mix them.
What should antimalarial drugs be taken with?
When taken once a week to prevent malaria, they should be taken on the same day every week. When taken daily or several times a day to treat malaria, they should be taken at the same time every day.
Can you take six xanax in three hours?
You shouldn't ever take larger than the prescribed dosage.
Largest produced individual Xanax, alprazolam, pill 2mg (that I know of)
Smallest produced individual Xanax, alprazolam, pill 0.25mg (that I know of)
2mg x 6 = 12mg
0.25 x 6 = 1.5mg
I suggest either following your doctor's suggestion, or realize for yourself that above 2mg the chemical will be dangerous.
If you have to ask on yahoo answers whether you can take it or not, the answer is most likely you cannot or should not
For Drug information consult a doctor first. If unable to contact a doctor, a second source could be www.erowid.org
3 MG xanax are stronger than a normal xanax. A normal xanax is 2 mg. 3 mg xanax are rarely used. Normally doctors just prescribe you anywhere from 0.5-2 mg. They're typically called hulk bars. Should be a green triangle.
How long after taking xanax can you take Ambien?
A.
The short answer is yes, but with caution. I wouldn't recommend taking Xanax at night along with the Ambien as the drugs will magnify the effects of each other resulting in increased side effects. If you take Xanax as needed during the day for anxiety and then take Ambien CR at night for sleep you should be fine. But trust me, if you take both at the same time you will have quite a nasty pill "hangover". Also, don't be afraid to ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns; that's why they're there. Hope this helps, Devlin Buchanan Nursing Student Sinclair Community College Dayton, Ohio B. Emphasis is on taking the two at the same time and sometimes it is difficult to know when the Xanax is at a safe level to add another respiratory depressing agent such as Ambien or Lunesta. Heath Ledger thought he was taking safe amounts of the prescribed medications and had the worst outcome: accidental death. If your doctor prescribes both medications, then you will know when to take them, i.e. when to take the last Xanax before taking an Ambien CR. Pharmacists are good resources for medication interactions, however pharmacies are busy places and some will not speak with you unless you are a patient or if they think you are asking about medications which are not prescribed for you.
This is a dangerous combination and should only be used with recommendation from the doctor.
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.
Is Xanax and alprazolam the same drug?
Valium reacts slower, doesn't hit as hard, but lasts longer 20-100 hours. xanax reacts faster, hits harder, but lasts 6-12 hours....
.5mg of xanax is comparable to 10mg of Valium
xanax imo is better for anxiety, sleep
Valium more so for relaxation and muscle relaxation, especially after a hard workout.
Valium stays in your system longer, xanax does not.
Xanax is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety caused by depression. It is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines. It reduces nervous tension and anxiety by slowing down movement of chemicals in the brain that may have become unbalanced.
