Is Xanax A Narcotic

100+ Topics Found

Aside from the sedative effect of Xanax and alcohol, someone told me that some patients prescribed narcotics take Xanax to increase the narcotic effects? Is this true? ## Soma is a big favorite with narcotic patients but sure, it is accurate to say that Xanax does cause this effect to some degree. ## People abuse benzodiazepines. It’s a bad idea though. Take too many and you won’t even remember what you did. And it does intensify the effect of opiates and tends to increase one's risk of overdosing because of this. Please don’t do this if you wanna stay alive. Seen too many people OD or die. ## The effects are usually due to an increased severity of the side effects, when they are taken together, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsines...

My dr has me on 2 Xanax (.5 mg) pluse 80 mg of oxicodone 80 mg divided 4 Xdaily. I ran out and have Xanax and tramadol...is this dangerous? ## Hello, Sharon! How are you? Since the Tramadol is classified by the FDA as an opioid, it is comparable to taking the Oxycodone with the Xanax. However, the Tramadol is nowhere near as strong as Oxycodone and it would be best to check with your doctor before taking something different. 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. Xanax is a benzodiazepine that also carries 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?

is hydroxyzine a narcotic or volume any type of narcotic in any way at all ## Hi venus, I can't find any information that classifies Hydroxyzine as a narcotic. From what I've read, it is an antihistamine that is sometimes used for premedication as a sedative. However, it supposedly doesn't share the same abuse, dependence, addiction, and toxicity potential of other medications that are used for the same range of therapeutic reasons.

N have been taking nuerontin for nerve damage & in replace of my antidepressant. So how safe is my medications going to be with the suboxin? I HAVE got to quit these diladids! ## Hydromorphone is nasty stuff. These are questions you want to ask the Doctor! ## Some doctors that tread with Suboxone won't let you continue Xanax, while under treatment, since it can also be addictive. They will usually make you switch to one of the antidepressants that can treat panic and anxiety attacks. But how much Dilaudid have you been taking? Suboxone is only appropriate for heavy addiction.

Is Vicodin 750 considered a downer like Xanax? ## No, Vicodin is the exact same chemical make up of Lortab. It is Hydrocodone and Acetaminaphen, which is a narcotic analgesic (a pain killer). I take Lortab for FMS pain, They do not make me tired, they actually make me feel upbeat, but I do not know if that is because the pain is gone or if it is because it is an opiate. Most narcotic analgesics are opiates which means they bind opiate receptors in your spinal cord so you sense pain differently, they also give some people a sense of uphoria, which is why they are habit forming. Please be careful. ## While you are stating the correct ingredients, narcotics, are in essence considered downers. Normal side efffects of narcotic pain killers are drowsiness and respiratory depression. They do n...

How are you? They might, if it wasn't prescribed for you, but I can't say for sure, since each doctor can set their own policies on that. As to whether or not Wellcare covers it, have you tried checking with them? Or asking the doctor you have the appointment with?

Can I take these together with my blood pressure medicine clonidine amlodipine and losinopril ## Hello, Kizzma! How are you? Has your doctor prescribed all of them? The only real concern that I've found is that the Xanax and Dilaudid both cause sedation, so you should be aware of it and watch for any danger signs, such as extreme sedation, dizziness, or trouble breathing. Dilaudid 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. Xanax is a benzodiazepine that has the potential to be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.
