Anxiety Forums (Page 11)

Hi everyone. I used to take Diazepam, at a 5mg dosage, on and off for anxiety over the last 20 years. I recently moved to a new area and started experiencing arthritis. Now, I take 30mg codeine for pain relief. My question is whether or not it would be safe for me to return to a low 5mg dosage of Diazepam as needed? I Googled it and the information I found suggested it could potentially cause me to stop breathing. Does anyone have any advice? I'm in desperate need of help. Thanks in advance. ## Yes, both Diazepam, and Codeine can cause depression of the central nervous system as side effects, which may result in a lowered rate of breathing, lowered heart rate, dizziness, grogginess, and drowsiness. So, they should only be combined if you're doctor feels it is safe for you to tak...

I started having severe anxiety attacks (all day long), and other anxiety symptoms on July 7th. I have had this happen in 1989 and 2011 and recovered on my own in 3 months without medication. My body has become hyper-stimulated. A week ago I couldn't take the daily crying for 8 hours and pacing the yard, so I took 1/2 of a 0.25 mg Xanax of my sister's. The racing thoughts and crying immediately stopped. However, they made me very sleepy. I went to my doctor. He prescribed me 0.125mg 3 times per day for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have NEVER taken medication in my LIFE and I'm 61 years old. Only Advil and vitamins. No depression, no surgeries, no diseases. I am blessed. My question is... does the sleepiness or fogginess get better with time? I still feel anxious when the ...

Will valium show up as a benzo,like clonazepam? Keep in mind its just a urine test that will not be sent to a lab ## I'm prescribed valium. I need to know if clonopin will show up or would their the same . They administer a swab test. ## Will klonapin and Valium show up the same in a urine test? ## Klonopin isn't a Benzo?

The 10mg valium from India is totally legitimate. For me, with high tolerance, they work better than the US drugs. The manufacturer is Zepose. I highly recommend these. They are without imprints yet have scoring on the back so that you can break them into smaller dosages. ## I've always been partial to the idea of having to order my medications over the internet versus obtaining a valid prescription from a doctor. But I am still glad to hear you were able to find a company that carries real medication and not complete fakes. That is a triumph in and of itself, considering all the fraudulent products that are out on the foreign market. I did want to mention though, that Zepose is actually an Indian brand name of Diazepam and not who the manufacturer is as you may have been led to bel...

I was just wondering, I filled a script saying crescent on it and the diazepam pill said A 278 on on side and the other side had half of smiley face) I'm just wondering are these okay cause they have a very weird taste to them (bitter) and I've tasted diazepam from the doctors and doctor ones taste a little different maybe because they was 5mg. I took a dose last night ande woke up this morning feeling sweet and happy. My depression has vanished today and I feel on top of the world ## Does diazepam leave a tingly feeling in the back of your mouth? I stockpiled extra for emergencies as I have a funeral this week right now I feel not fantastic but not stressed at all I've just got the crescent ones. Think the actavis ones are no good. ## Yeah they have a tingly taste to them. ...

Dr. took me off Klonopin after years of use. She obviously did not know how as she took me completely off in 8 days. I am going through the worst withdrawals. What can I do? ## Go to the hospital and tell them what she has done and unless you were taking meds that you not suppossed to be taking, she should have prepared you for this. ## Thank you for the reply Kelly. I ended up going to the hospital and they put me back on 1/2 the dose so that I can wean off slowly. Even though I felt terrible on the inside, my vitals were good. I feel better taking it now until I wean off slow. Thanks again, I appreciate the support. This is really hard, harder than I would have imagined. I'm waiting to see what the low dose will do to help my symtoms right now. Will post again later. Thanks again ...

I just moved to Anchorage about 2 months ago, I have had terrible social anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia since childhood. I received extensive counseling throughout my life which has helped but the best treatment I receieved was Xanax, I had some anti depressants with it but my doctors told me my depression was coming from my anxiety. Since I have no mental health coverage in my insurance I can only see general practice doctors, and I gt treated like a drug addict every time I go to an appointment, I need this to function at my job, I went through, and am still going through withdrawl (anti depressants cause much more side effects then xanax, and they cause withdrawl as well) Can anybody please give me some information to lead me to a general practice doctor who will help me.

i have been on Xanax for 30 years. Now my doctor moved and I'm seeing one in KS who calls me in randomly for a U/A!! I have never been in any trouble and I'm 51, not going to be treated like I'm on parol. ## Hello, Greg! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're experiencing. However, since Xanax is a controlled substance that is frequently abused, doctors do have to be very careful about prescribing it and most are going to make you do similar things, in order to continue having it prescribed. Many do random pill counts, too. This medication is most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and irritability, this medication also carries the risk of being habit forming. ...

My Girlfriend is 26 years old and she suffers from a huge anxiety problems and panic attacks on a daily basis. However because of her age we cant find a doctor to prescribe her xanax because so many people her age do abuse prescription drugs and sell them. We know its very addicting but she been on them for seven years and we move for about a year and was having to get them off the streets and moved back to Tenn and there a huge difference in how she reacts to daily life without them. She isa different person when she get them and keeps better control of her self when on them. We feel that she should be on xanax for the rest of her life. So if anyone knows a doctor that would prescribe her xanax around Chattanooga or anywhere in bradley county TN, Please let us know we would really appr...

Okay so I got a bottle of alprazolam 2mg bars they have a Y side and a 2 1 on the back I've never actually went through all my pills and looked at the scoring and put them side-to-side and flip them over to the back however some I had broken in half and needed to match them up when I did this I noticed that when I flip the pillow over some of the pills we're upside down meaning some pills had a y upwards and some had a y downwards is that normal when you're making a pill in a pharmacy for that to happen I had taken one pill today before I realized and now I'm scared ## I got a prescription and I have the same thing. But they are from the pharmacy so I guess they did it in lad for some odd reason. ## Gotta love Pill Aurobindo Pharma Limited out of India. There isn't a...

I have had 2 urine drug screens w a 2 1/2 wk difference between. The first GC/MS + phenobarbital >1000ng & the 2nd + 816ng. I've never taken this drug before. The meds I do take are: gabapentin, tramadol, ibuprofen, sumatriptan, omeprazole. Please help! ## Nothing you've listed is known to cause false positives for any type of Barbiturates, including Phenobarbital. Has your doctor had any ideas as to what may be causing it? Did you take anything else, even over the counter products? ## Not true. Google NSAIDs (ibuprofen) and phenobarbital. Several stories from legitimate sources about them causing a false positive for barbiturates. I know because I am arguing with my doctor over this very thing right now. I take Adderall and am required to get drug tested. She said anoth...

Val-Torb was given to my mini doxie for a chronic condition. He weighs 16 lbs and the dosage was 1.5mls 3 times a day but it made him horribly sick and shaky. As soon as I took him off he was OK. Has anyone out there had a problem with this medication? ## What this stands for is Valium, which is a Benzodiazepine that's used for its calming effect and Torbutrol (Butorphanol), which is used to relieve pain. I don't know what the dosage should be for canines, because veterinary medications are not my speciality, but it sounds like it may have been too much of the Torbutrol for him. Have you contacted your vet? A lower dose or different medication may be necessary. ## How long is Val/Torb good for? ## What long term side effects doa dog get when given Val torb long term ## I have yo...

In St. Louis MO and need doctor to prescribe Xanax. Just moved back home to St. Louis and am 46 and forgot my old doctor. I need a new one that is able to write Benzos for my anxiety. Please help. ## Technically, any doctor can prescribe it. However, the recent changes to regulations and the push from the DEA to get better control of medications such as this means that it's most likely that a general practitioner won't prescribe it for you long-term, but instead will refer you to a specialist for counseling and medications, if needed. The best thing you can do is just find yourself a new doctor first, rather than trying to find one that will prescribe Xanax. Asking them if they'll do that, before you're an established patient is considered a red flag for drug seeking beh...

I was depressed I guess and took about 45-50 1 grams of Xanax (Alprazolam) at one time. I overdosed and the doctors told me its a miracle I survived and didn't have a seizure. ## The problem is Xanax is a psychological drug and this is not good to do. If you would have in fact taken 50 grams (not milligrams?) you couldn't have survived. I once was going through some problems and did something similar. I was tired of chasing Xanax every month and was not feeling to good. I now have a very large amount and will never let myself feel that bad again (I had nothing to live for or so I thought). I'm glad you are ok, and you might have to deal with the withdrawal effect now but hang in there! ## Yea, I meant milligrams. I'm ok now but I've been reading a lot about xanax. So...

Got my prescription filled with some dark yellow bars, almost orange with darker orange spots, had r039. Broke like chalk.. had the bitter flavor but instead of being fast-acting it took an hour and a half to kick in and was the strongest I had ever had. Leads me to think there was something else in it... looked pressed. ## Hi saurusrex, If you didn't get these from a real licensed pharmacy, my guess is that they are counterfeit as well; especially since the legitimate ones are clearly depicted as being yellow in color and NOT orange. There are also a lot of counterfeits that closely resemble the real thing, so it can be particularly difficult to determine what's really inside unless you were to have the contents analyzed by a lab first. Did it still feel like Xanax when you too...

How many Hydroxyzine 25 mg are equivalent to 2 mg Xanax? ## They are not in the same class of medications, so there is no way to convert one to the other. Xanax contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, which is a Benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. However, Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that's used to treat allergic reactions, insomnia, to prevent nausea and for its sedative like effects. So, they just aren't interchangeable and, for either one, you shouldn't take more than your doctor has prescribed, because doing so may be dangerous.
