Anxiety Forums (Page 195)

I had 2 urines show - for Xanax. was placed on them due to reoccurring anxiety and panic attacks *(never had these and if really freaked me, I'm 50 ???) was caring for and inevitably losing my two geriatric pups who were with me 15 years as well as daily dealing with my 20 yr. old autistic son, I actually took an extra half a few times during this time and yes my urine tested negative and I explained. I made sure I had one dose put back to take on urine test day, took it approx. 6 to 8 hours prior to test and it showed NEGATIVE- I am compliant except for the times I explained my unfound Xanax and can not figure why I showed negative when I know I had taken my exact dose. I may be taken off the program and I'm doing only two 2/5 mg strips /day. Any help please?

I needed antianxiety meds so a friend of mine gave me some of theirs but I'm used to cplonzapam which are peach n circular these are whitey-beige football shaped stamped APO and on the other half of the line across from that is 2?? ## From what I can find, it seems that what your friend gave you are 2mg Lorazepam tablets, which is a different benzodiazepine. However, it is never wise to take any medication that has not been prescribed for you by your doctor. This medication 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?

my question is I was on lorazapan for anxiety but the drowsiness got me in trouble is their any anxiety medication that won't cause drowsiness. I told my Dr. not to prescribe it for me anymore. My question is, I need something, is their anything else I can take. ## Hello, Eileen! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem you've had. You may do better with one of the SSRI antidepressants that can be used to treat anxiety, such as Prozac or Zoloft. They've both been successful at helping many people with anxiety, but since you take them all the time, your body gets used to the medications and the side effects, such as drowsiness, wear off after a few weeks. Other side effects may include nausea, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Ok, I live in Las Vegas Nevada here is the question Why is so hard to get my Medication now a days? Since I came back from Michigan 2 years ago I've been living nothing but a hell life month by month getting my prescriptions refilled. I am a person who has always went the alternative medicine route until one day someone introduced me to a doctor who prescribed me Valium for adhd and sleeping. I've been on it almost 8 years and it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get off. Also a drunk driver hit me and my knee's are shot and I need surgery on my back so the Doctor put me on Hydrocodone aka Vicodin. (The reason I put Xanax in the title is because I found out they are almost they same exact drug). Let me clear I don't want to be on these medications but now I HAVE TO BE thanks to...

So I've had displaced anxiety for 10 years...never took a thing...about 2 years ago it became unbearable. They gave me 1 MG of xanax and I took about .25 every 3-4 days...I ran out 6-8 months later and the doctor said xanax causes seizures even if you take a small dose...so they gave me lorazepam, and I tried it 2 times it was terrible. ..so they gave me clonazepam...1 MG. .that was 4 months ago and I still have 12 pills out of 30...but I still.have anxiety however I hear how horrible these meds are and addictive, and that makes my anxiety worse..so I take .25 of my 1 MG tablet if I absolutely need it, which means a lot of times I don't take.and fight the anxiety. This is exhausting me and I really need something to help when I feel anxious that isn't addictive so I'll a...

I have a long white bar with 3 hatch marks, one side has a large number 2 on it and the other side has XANO on the other side, what is this? ## Xano is a foreign brand name for Alprazolam, the active ingredient in Xanax, the 2 on it indicates that it is a 2mg tablet. This is a Benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, irritability and headache. More details: Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take xanax for anxiety also but recently received pills similar but it says ONAX and are a lot bigger than the xanax I'm use to taking. I also am not sure of the change or if they work as well or anything , one thing I do know is they are changing the look and imprints on all narcotic medication due to people selli...

By what means do people take this tablet illegally? Orally thru the nose or injection or even smoke? ## @Kim, With "R 029" being a 0.5 mg generic Alprazolam tablet, it's probably one of the most highly abused drugs on the market. People find many ways to abuse these types of medications, if not by all of the methods in which you already mentioned. I wont go into detail because I already know its being done by those who could care less about the dangerous consequences. If you have a loved one who's been misusing this medication I'd probably suggest some sort of supportive intervention to encourage them to take it as prescribed. But depending on how deep they are into their level of abuse, it may take a lot of patience; at which point, maybe their doctor could begin to...

What happened when im taking 30 pills of clonotril 0.5 mg in one time .. What the effects in my body in 3...4 hours. . ## @nirmala, Like most prescription medications, Clonotril (clonazepam) also comes with its long list of possible side effects. Far too many to list on here. However, I think the following link covers the most complete list of side effects for this medication that I've seen: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0045217/#DDIC602741.side_effects_section I just have to ask though, why do you feel the need to take 30x the dose your doctor prescribed you with? There are no benefits to overdosing to that degree and trying to do something like that could potentially result in a serious internal injury. If you truly need help, please don't hesitate to contact your doctor an...

Is he on drugs? Should I be worried? ## This tablet contains 0.5mgs of Clonazepam, which is a benzodiazepine. These medications are commonly abused and carry the risk of being habit forming.

I need a doctor somewhere close to Hamilton Al. For xanax for cronic anexity disorder and helping stages of menopause. My doctor left to practice in California n I have full Medicaid on disability. The low dose of valum don't help. Can anyone help me? ## Hello, Stars! How are you? Benzodiazepines are not usually prescribed to help with menopausal symptoms. If hormones are not deemed appropriate, antidepressants, such as Prozac are commonly used. SSRI antidepressants can cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. As for anxiety, you'll need to see a specialist for that. Do you currently have a PCP that may be able to refer you to someone? That would likely be the easiest way to find the help you need. Benzodiazepines carry the risk of b...

PEX-2 Aprazolam white round tablets 2mg I.P. Manufactured by TR Pharma. In a silver 10 pack individually sealed. Xanax? I was told the I.P. means inspected and approved. Any information on that? ## Hello, Annie! How are you? They may have been inspected and approved by some agency in India, or elsewhere, but they have not been approved by the U.S. FDA, which is why they are not available here. This medication 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?

Just moved to Melbourne Florida and my scripts are about out. Does anyone know of a doctor in area? I take Oxycotin 30mg and xanax x5 years with no issues. Thank you! ## Hello, Mike! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see specialists. Both of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and constipation. Having a PCP refer you to someone will most likely be the easiest way of finding the help you need. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?

Was taking clonezapam .05. The drug was very helpful. Unfortunately I lost health insurance and ran out. Is there something similar for an over counter Thank you kevin ## Hello, Kevin! How are you? I'm sorry about your current dilemma. No, I'm afraid there isn't anything comparable available over the counter. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Due to the possible risks, such medications are only available via prescription. It is, however, usually cheap as a generic, so if you can see your doctor, it shouldn't be out of reach to get a prescription for it filled. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am trying to figure out the difference between the Valium and the xanax there both classified as a benzo if I'm not mistaken so how many of the 5mg Valium would equal a .2mg xanax? ## Hello, Amanda! How are you? Xanax is actually much stronger than Valium, so it only takes 0.5mgs of it to equal each 5mgs of Valium. This medication 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?

I took 3 Zanex bars all within a two day period and have a UA 7 days from my last dose. Will they show up? ## Yes, there is a chance that it will be detected. Xanax contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, which is a Benzodiazepine and they are generally detectable in urine for approximately 6 weeks after last dosing. There is no way, however, to give a precise time frame, because it's always going to vary from person to person, due to individuating factors, such as your metabolism, overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc. Are there any other questions or comments? ## ITS REALLY HARD TO GIVE A DEFINITE ANSWER. SOME SAY 6 WEEKS, BUT THE USUAL TIME IS 2-3 DAYS DUE TO THE SHORT HALF LIFE OF ALPRAZOLAM. IF YOU HAVE BEEN USING A LOT OF HIGH DOSE XANAX, THEN I WOULD DEFINI...

How much dosage of restly can b fatal to death? ## @redfire, From what I could gather, most people who take Restyl (Alprazolam) don't usually require more than a few milligrams per day (except in severe cases). However, anything over the amount prescribed by your doctor would be considered an overdose. Whether or not it would be fatal is another story; and this exact number is probably going to be different for every individual depending on whatever tolerance their body has developed over time from taking this drug. There's also another thread on here discussing the same topic, if you'd like to skim through some of the responses: Discuss/Restyl-0-5-mg-Overdose-242829_s2.htm I hope this helps! ## how much of it could lead to death??
