I am perscribed 50mgs of trmadol 3xdaily and 15mg of oxazepam what kind of feeling will I get? ## Hello, Sassyfrassy! How are you? Both of these medications tend to cause sedation, so combining them may intensify that effect and you may end up feeling very tired, dizzy and drowsy. It would be best not to drive or operate machinery, until you know how they actually affect you. They both also carry the risk of being habit forming and you may experience side effects, such as nausea, dry mouth, irritability and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My Rheumatologist says that it is unnecessary to withdraw from Oxazepam 15mg. (see above Topic for dosage) and merely substitute with a lesser dosage of Difucan (10mg. @ 4-6 hours daily) as they are "the same drug"! I have been taking this Oxazepam dosage for 25 years+. Now I am following his instructions and having major withdrawal miserable symptoms. Any suggestions? ## There is no medication called Difucan, the closest is Diflucan and, if that's what you have, then I don't think you're taking the right medication, because it is an antifungal medication. Learn more Diflucan details here. I think you may want to double check everything, because the medication she intended to prescribe for you may have been Diazepam, which would be an equivalent medication. Learn mor...

Is it safe to take 100 mg trazodone with 40 mg oxazepam for sleep? ## Has your doctor instructed you to do so? Taking them together can increase the risk of depression of the central nervous system, which may cause shallow breathing, lowered heart rate and lowered blood pressure. It doesn't mean they can't be used together, but it should only be done under a doctor's approval and supervision. Learn more: ## NO. I take the trazodone to help me sleep.

Its my understanding that oxazepam is a weaker benzo that is what my psych said I have tried every benzo and feel I get no relief from any he last had me on klonopin allowing up to 3 Mgs daily but I felt it wasn't helping he switched me to oxazepam only cause its the only one I didnt try and thought to give it a shot but he prescribed 15 Mgs 4 times a day I think this is far less than the equivalent of klonopin 3 Mgs a day does anyone know if I'm right does anyone who tried other benzos use or had used serax please let me know ## Hello, Theresa! How are you doing? Yes, you are correct, you'd need 120mgs a day of the Oxazepam to equal what you were taking of the Klonopin. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, heada...

can I take 1mg Kalma and 30mg oxazepam together with 150mg effexor ## Hello, Chops! How are you? Both the Kalma and Oxazepam are benzodiazepines that treat the same conditions, so there is no need to take both of them. Doing so risks overdose. This medication also carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. But there are no reactions between taking one of them with the Effexor, though it's always best to double check such information to be certain. Is there anything else I can help with?
