I have a freind that has taken 12 xanex bars he has taken 8 in the past. He is very troubled and I want to know how much can a body take when they are use to taking so many at a time. ## here is the deal. benzos react wtih your GABA receptors. and taking that many bars is NOT good for your brain chemistry because it alters it. Meaning your GABA receptors wont fire liek you use to due to the receptor expecting some sort of drug. So if no drugs come than the GABA receptors cant produce naturally the right dose. Same with other respectors and drugs. TAKING SO MANY IS VERY DANGEROUS. you make like 6+ bars and do some heron or do some oxy along with a couple shots and your friend could end up dead. That is a fact, benzos, opaites and alcohol combined are killer. So be smart kids, ive been th...

My doctor wants me to take BuSpar instead of Paroxetine. Can someone please help explain the differences and what would be better? ## Which one is preferred depends on the condition being treated, and its severity. Buspar contains the active ingredient Buspirone, and it is most commonly used to treat anxiety disorders, either of long-term, or acute duration. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and mood changes. Ref: Buspar Information And Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, it works by keeping one of our happy chemicals (Serotonin) bouncing around in the brain longer for those who may not produce enough, to help various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. Ref: Paroxetine Informa...

I was taking vistaril and failed a drug test for benzo. I was just wondering if it can show up as benzo? I need proof for court and dont know what to do. ## Yes, vistaril has some similarities with benzos. Vistaril however is prescribed for itchiness, sleep as well as mild anxiety. Although they are two separate drugs, both benzos and vistaril share a very common chemical structure which may cause a drug test to read vistaril as a benzo. Hope this helps good luck. ## Will you fail a drug test for benzos talking visteril ## I took a drug test last week and it was positive for benzo, I got totally freaked out. The lady who did my drug test told me to go to my pharmacy and get my prescription list and told me that visteril does show up as a benzo in drug test. Took a test today and still w...

I took 1 0.5mg pill of lorazapam (generic for ativan) on Sunday night at around 10pm and have a drug test Tuesday at 4pm, will I fail? I do not take any other drugs and only took this one pill one time for anxiety. ## Lorazepam is a Benzodiazepine and these can be detectable in a urine test for up to 6 weeks, after last dosing, so yes, there is a chance that you may fail the test. There is no precise time frame that can be given, however, because individuating factors also play a role, such as your metabolism, overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Not TRUE! Ativan is one of the Fastest Acting in and out Benzo there is... and it will Certainly be Ouyt of your system by 22 hours - Unless you have a problem with your Liver or othe...

I have been prescribed xanax for a number of years and my doctor who prescribed me xanax was old and went out of business. I have been going to another doctor but am having problems staying with a reliable dosage and other issues. I just need to find a Dr who will give me the same meds I have been taking for years and nothing more and nothing less. ## I need to find a psychiatrist in Concord or Charlotte, NC that prescribe xanax. My anxiety is so bad I feel like I'm dying. ## Hello Jr Eves, Unfortunately it's not going to be that easy to get another doctor to just blindly start handing you medication simply because you were getting it from another doctor. The reason for this is similar to the reason that patients who are diagnosed with terminal diseases such as cancer are often ...

My insurance only allows generics. To say I have been thru hell is an understatement when these drug manufacturers tweak the formula. Real Valium worked. Generic Watson turned Mayne worked. They have someone else making it. Gives me anxiety. Suppose to take it away. Reported it. They didn't care. I also have multiple sclerosis. Anyway, after 6 weeks of hell last October I started Mylan 5mg. It wasn't like the Watson, however, it wasn't horrible. My whole being changed. Then I got long covid. It was bad. I just refilled my Mylan diazepam and noticed it looked different. Low and behold it gave me anxiety and panic attacks once again. I don't know what these drug companies are doing. Perhaps they are trying to thin the herd. Teva does the same. My life has become unmanageab...

I take diazepam tablets every day as prescribed. I've seen at least 20 from india and say zepose 10 on them. I know they are diazepam but i am just wondering if any 1 else is also taking this brand? They are white with a cross on them in a tiny strip, each strip containing 10 tablets. Just want to know if any body else has been dispensed them out there? ## Yes they are diazapram, made in India. Knocks me out basically. - - feel quite hungover the morning after on them. Don't drive on them, and I would keep it to 10 mg not 20 mg which to me seems a bit high. I not a Dr tho. ## It sounds like you are addicted to them and should seek medical attention. Who knows what it really is. It could be a horse tranquilizer for all you know. ## I recently got zepose 10 from Cipia from India. ...

What pharmacies carry Qualitest clonazepam anymore? I used to pick up my scripts for it from Target, prior to it being bought by CVS. Since, I have not had another generic that compared to these- they were even superior to the Roche brand name Klonopin. I have been using the Teva generic that CVS offers and am so glad that Walgreens is out of my life for good as a pharmacy due to their Mylan-only contract concerning their clonazepam. I am satisfied with Teva but have yet to find a pharmacy that carries my preferred Qualitest. Any help is greatly appreciated! ## Sorry to hear about your situation Lazaro. From the looks of things, many other patients throughout this forum are facing similar challenges with getting a certain manufacturer's brand or generic version. In my experience, th...

I have a bottle of alprazolam from 2005 and I'm wondering if it's still good? It's 4 years old at the time of writing this. ## The shelf life of Alprazolam should be located on the packaging of the drug. If not, then chances are that the medication is no longer good based on how many years it has been sitting there; however I am not an MD, so I cannot say for sure what may or may not be safe for you to consume. I would urge you to contact your doctor or local physician to assess if the quality of the drug still remains. If you are interested in viewing more information regarding Alprazolam, then please follow the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back so I can further assist you. ## If the Xanax (Alprazolam) was kept in a cool dry location...

I've been unable to find Klonopin (brand name) at any pharmacy. Although I've taken this medication for several years, this is the first time I've been unable to find it. I've been told the manufacturer (Roche) has it on backorder. Some say it's no longer available. I cannot take the generic as I get a serious migraine. Does anyone have any suggestions where I might get a Rx filled? ## Hello, Bonita! How are you? Yes, there seems to a shortage due to a recent sale of the manufacturer, but I can't find anything for sure on when it will be resolved. If you can't take the generic, then the best thing to do may be to speak with your doctor and try an alternative in the meantime, such as Xanax. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could caus...

I need a good dr. in Indianapolis that is persistent. One that will help me control my pain, and help control my very high anxiety... Please Help!!!!!! ## Hi Mike, Personally, I think if you suffer from any sort of anxiety/depression and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), usually your best bet is to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. Reason being, is that they are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and can also help you treat the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression, as opposed to covering up the feelings and emotions with medication. In regards to finding a local pain doctor, I have listed below a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input...

I had been taking the yellow 1mg klonopin for quite some time and was then changed to the blue version. I honestly feel like the blue pills are weaker.

There is a chance that they are not weaker but your getting used to them.

The important thing is understanding the feeling behind the drugs purpose. Creating something with others emotionally will always complement your brain chemistry the best. When friend...

I have been prescribed Xanax 1mg for 20 years by my family physician. Out of the clear blue he is now sending me to a psychiatrist. I also suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks. I am now having attacks out of fear of seeing a new doctor who may or may not prescribe them. I know they cannot cut them out cold turkey but just afraid. I know people who are prescribed 2mg. They must be obtaining them from a psychiatrist? Any thoughts? Anxiety is the worst feeling the in the world in my opinion. ## Hi Corrnine, try the new Doctor, perhaps it will work out for you. The worst feeling in the world though is withdrawing from Xanax which can kill you, anxiety sucks too! ## thanks. trying to stay positive about new dr visit but you how that anxious mind is. cant stop worrying and so scared. ...
