Is Valium A Narcotic

Is Hydroxine the same as Xanax, or Valium ect? ## Hello, Fallon! How are you? None of the medications you've mentioned are narcotics. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that's very commonly used for its sedative like properties, as well as to treat insomnia and allergic reactions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as including dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and sedation. Xanax and Valium are benzodiazepines that are commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. The carry the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been given a valium 2mg about two hours ago and I've asked to be weaned off hydrocodone (up to 12 per day). But the withdrawals are so horrible I'm wondering if I can take a 1/4 of a an 415 will I be ok? And I've eaten soup n fruit. ## Hello, Anna! How are you? The tablet with the An 415 marking is an 8/2mg Suboxone tablet. The FDA lists this as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Was the Suboxone prescribed for you? If not, then you shouldn't take it. It is only meant to treat severe drug addiction. It is not meant for people that have only been taking therapeutic doses of a medication. What types of symptoms are you experiencing? H...

Is it safe to take 20mg Percocet 325s with 6mg valium? At the same time. ## Hello, Bebe! How are you? They should only be combined, with your doctor's approval. Both of these medications can increase sedation and cause depression of the central nervous system, which may be dangerous, if the doses are too high, or if someone has medical conditions that affect their breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. The FDA classifies Percocet as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Valium is classified as a benzodiazepine, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything el...

I was once prescribed something to my panic attic, it was very strong. Non narcotic, got off xanex, tryed bus bar 15 mg 2 times a day. Now I'm trying to fig out the other non narcotic anxiety/ pain ## Have you tried looking into any natural alternatives, such as Essential Oils or various herbs? Kava Kava seems to be a solid option for panic attacks/anxiety: "This is one of the most popular choices for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. It is a powerful herb from the South Seas. Used as an alternative to Valium, research studies have found it reduces anxiety equivalently. The advantage is that there are no addictive side effects with the Kava Kava. Bear in mind, Kava Kava WILL knock you out. It acts as a sedative so don’t take it if you need to stay alert f...

My partner took some little light blue pills that had a diamond hollow center in the pill. I'm an ex addict and know he lied about what they were. I do not know what they were. He was nodding out and was very hard to understan when he spoke. I was wondering what these pills are? Thank you for reading this. ## I'm sorry, but I'm not really sure what you mean by your description of the tablets. Do you mean there was a diamond shaped hole punched out of them? Was it possibly a K shape? Where there any markings on them? ## Because of the nodding, it sounds like brand name Valium 10mg. Their light blue with a center cut out kind of like a diamond.

is it normal to feel sleepy all the time and tired. im taking 60 mgs of hydrocodone and 30 mgs of valium daily for anxiety and back ,leg pain.waitind to see pm doc maybe get something that wont make me want to sleep all the time.ivee heard that oxycodone doesnt make you fel that way.is that true ## Many of these prescription pain relievers can be very taxing on the adrenals and cause you to feel fatigued. All narcotics have central nervous system effects, which is in part responsible for their mode of action. It will effect people differently but yes it can make you feel drowsy or tired. Valium on it's own possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, sedative, skeletal muscle relaxant, and amnestic properties that can make you feel tired. If you remain on Valium while taking Hydr...

I pulled my back out two weeks ago. My doctor gave me a shot of decadron (steroid) and Valium. I only took 2.5 mg of Valium twice (I don't like taking things I'm unsure of) and it didn't get better all. If I took the last 2.5 mg 12 hours ago is it safe to take 5 mg of hydrocodone? It doesn't appear to interact with my steroid shot but wanted to be sure. ## Hello, IndianaGuy! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between the Decadron and Norco, but you should always double check such information with your doctor or pharmacist. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

pain doc prescribing Didadid, Oxycontin,Precocet, and Valium s all at once to a 120 pound lady who suffers from a pain disorder and bipolar as well these meds are combined with the already use of bp meds Always in depressed state also using needle for the daldid double doses ## Narcotics can cause depression, because witht he way they work, they are basically like taking a downer. If it is severe and constant, then the medications/dosages may be too strong for her and she should speak to her doctor. All are very strong medications, though several are often combined to help bring severe pain under better control and give the person better relief. The problem arises when the side effect of the medications are so severe that they are affecting the person's quality of life as bad or wor...

Narcotics can cause CNS depression, but the real question is how bad is your COPD? That's a very low dose of both medications. Though they all carry the risk of being habit forming and can cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and drowsiness.

does kolinpin make one feel better fast, does anxiety go away quickly, does it feel similar to valium or hydrocodine ## Hello, Phyllis! How are you? Hydrocodone is an opiate, so it cannot be compared to the other two medications that you mentioned. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. However, Klonopin and Valium are both benzodiazepines and generally are comparable in efficacy and they treat the same conditions, but the dosage is different. The FDA also warns that they carry the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes for them to...

I have been taking Methadone for over a year at a clinic to get off of some of the pain medications prescribed to me, one of them Xanax (been taking seven years or more) for severe anxiety and PTSD. My doctor that was prescribing my Xanax office closed. Now wondering what to do because I am very close to running out of my benzo and can not seem to find another doctor. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Much rather have assistance with being withdrawn by doctor than do it by myself! ## Hello, Williams! How are you? To continue the Methadone, you're only option is to stay at the clinic. It is illegal for a regular doctor to prescribe it for addiction or maintenance. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as ...

THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS MY SPINAL STENOSIS & HERNIATED DISCS &DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE IS VALIUM+DILAUDID 4-8MG. OR ROXICET 30MG OR ROXICODONE ## Hello, Unfortunately, no one can really know ahead of time what a doctor is or is not willing to prescribe, as that is based on the doctor's discretion and not just on someone else's previous appointment (especially since many doctor's are now worried about losing their licensing for prescribing too many narcotics). Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any 'specific medication' when you see a new doctor. Just make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach in my opinion, is to discuss up front and honestly what has or hasn't worked for yo...

capsule like pill dark green and light green with symbol of E on it and 613 ## Is loratab simular 2 xanax?? ## A Lortab is a Narcotic Pain killer and a Xanax is in the same class as a valium. very different. ## Joy is correct on those, though it should be noted that Xanax is a benzodiazepine, so it does have the potential to be habit forming. I believe that's why many think it's a narcotic or related to one. You can learn more Xanax details here. And the original capsule asked about with the E613 marking on contains 25mgs of Hydroxyzine, which is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergic reactions, insomnia, nausea and for its sedative like effects. You can learn more Hydroxyzine details here. The side effects are usually related to that and may include drowsiness, dizz...

Vicodin or hydrocodone is synthethized or converted to hydromorphone in the liver. Codeine is made into morphine in your liver. Recently as you may know, Vicodin or Norco's were rescheduled to the highest level in the system. C-II. The reasons are varied. Most think it's because of the addition. Other's the damage that is induced because of the acetaminophen. Some because of the ease of phoning in a phony Rx to the pharmacy. Most just think that it's the #1 abused narcotic out there and too many Rx's are given. The fact is: Xanax is more addicting and abused. Other's cite OD's with hydrocodone,Oxycodone, Valium, Clonazepam, Xanax and and Soma's and anything else. The "Holy Grail" is known as (OXY's ,XANAX, and SOMA's) This combo raises a r...

I have acute leg and back pain because of a spinal problem between L4 and L 5. Can I take hydrocodone and bondormin at the same time. I am on a trip visiting my niece who has just given birth, and I need an answer ASAP. Thank you!! ## Hello, Sheila! How are you? Bondormin contains Brotizolam, which is a thienodiazepine that's a benzodiazepine analog, so it's distantly related to medications such as Xanax and Valium. Learn more Bondormin details here. Thus, it shouldn't be mixed with a narcotic like Hydrocodone, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so, because both of them can cause depression of the central nervous system. Both of these medications also have the potential to be habit forming. Learn more Hydrocodone details here. Is there anything else I c...

I need help with methamphetamine dependence. I would like to know if there is any kind of med I could take to help get off of this drug? ## I am not a doctor by no means, but try taking an anxiety med like klonopin 2mgs every 6 hours, trazodone, or valium 10 mg every 6hours if you can. I don't know how bad your addiction is but that may not be the way to go. If you have a bad addiction, you may want to consider going to a clinic to get suboxone. Please don't do it alone. There is always help for what you are going through. I wish you well. ## Nerak, I have just now read your question regarding your addiction. I hope that you have found help by now.

i found a pill that has MP58 and i was wanting to know what it is ## This is a muscle relaxer called Carisiprodal or Soma. Soma is he name brand. It is non-narcotic but can still make you tired so be careful. It is typically used for muscle strain, back strains etc. ## MP58 is one of the Watson lab generic designations for Soma. It is an FDA approved non-narcotic in the US, and I was told by 3 doctors that it is over-the-counter, and used primarily for anti-seizure, secondary for muscle relaxor. The truth seems to be that it contains a precursor tranquilizer to valium. That drug is called neprobromate, milltown, and who knows what else. It is bad for the heart, and becomes addictive because the tranq is only included as a trace amount, from what I have learned after 14 years. The tranqu...
