Azor Forums

Good day, my grandmother has been on azor medication for many years for nerves. The doctor said She should try cut on the dose as its not so good for Her at Her age, 79. She used to take 1 pill morning+night, She has dropped to half a pill at night. She is now experiencing blurred vision in the one eye, pain in Her head and a very sore throat going down her neck. Is this withdrawl effects? Is there a better alternative to azor that will work just as well without being a risk to Her health? ## I am using azor 1mg x 3 per day(suppose to) sometimes use 7 during day and night with 2 sleeping pills. What is the worst that can happen to my body and health? ## Hi, I am not an expert but I am currently going through withdrawal from Azor. I used to be on one 0,25mg for day and then again at nigh...

I just want to know if an overdose of Azor 2mg or 1mg can kill a person? I asking on behalf of a friend she is worried that she overdoses ## Hello, Jane! How is your friend doing?

When it concerns a medication, such as this one, it may cause respiratory depression, as well as depression of the central nervous system, according to the NIH.

I took 2 stilpane 4 hours ago, can I take 1mg azor to sleep now? ## Hello, Ursulah! How are you? Azor is classified by the FDA as a benzodiazepine, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Stilpane 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. Taking them both may make you much more dizzy, drowsy and nauseous than usual and shouldn't be done, unless your doctor approves. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm on urbanol 10 mg Can I take 1 stilpayne with this safely

Is there a difference between C73 and C 73 tablet imprints? One says it's azor and the other is metoprolol, is that right? ## Hello, Lou! How are you? Yes, there is a difference. The Azor tablet with this marking has the C73 side by side, while the Metoprolol tablet has the C over the 73. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of these blood pressure and cardiac medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

Hi, I usually take about 2 or 3 0.5mg zopax tablets during the day to function "normally" and 2 or 3 at night to get a nights sleep. I know that I am addicted to it but I now want to stop as I really want to get my life back as I have 2 kids and don't want to fail them. I know that once I'm off these and recover I will be able to lead a normal med free life because I really don't want to depend on medication but am so afraid of withdrawal pains especially insomnia. when I first started taking it to help me stay calm but more to knock me off at night it seemed like a fantastic miracle but now not so much as I feel like I can't go without it and when I do take it I really feel lethargic and sleepy not how I was before starting, an active happy person, I want to be ...

I'm 40 and have had a spine operation about 6months ago. I have been given ciprolex 20mg which didn't help at all. My therapist prescribed Azor 0.5mg 3 times a day and african 1mg in severe panic. I've taken the razor about 2 hours ago and have had 2 major panic attacks since. I feel like I'm going insane and losing my mind. How do I cope with ? ## Just breathe. Don't try to fight it. It's impossible. Try to realize that it will pass. I know it's much easier said than done. I have massive panic attacks as well. You're not alone. You'll get through it. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Splash some cool water on the back of your neck. Take your shirt off. Try to calmly pace instead of frantically moving around. If able, stand or si...

Hi. I am 30 days clean from opiate withdrawal. I spent my 1st 3 weeks on methadone and zopiclone and now changed to suboxone and azor 1mg. I'm getting bad headaches in the mornings since starting the azor. Is azor a bad combination with suboxone? It's my 1st time taking azor 1mg, but I fell it really does help with sleeping and anxiety. It's also the 1st time after 5 years that I have now stopped opiates. Please advise as this all seems new to me?! ## Both of these medications could cause headaches as side effects, according to NIH reports, but hey could also be cause from stopping the Methadone, according to NIH reports.

Is a c74 the same as azor? Is it ok for someone that is age 90+ with kidney failure and diabetes to take this pill? ## No, they are different medications, the tablet with the C 74 marking is manufactured by Aurbindo Pharma and they list it as containing 50mgs of Metoprolol, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. There can be risks to taking it, but you would be at much great risk if you let high blood pressure, or a heart condition go untreated, so you should take the medication, if your doctor has instructed you to do so. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you so kindly and yes this information wa...

I use Zanor on occasion when I have really bad days, or bad times.

Been in many different types of blood pressure medication and it seems that only Azor works now. The issue is the outrageous cost! Pretty sad that I'm going to be retiring soon and am worried about the cost and the fact thus is not covered by insurance is there any suitable alternative available. How can I wean myself off this costly medicine ## Alicia, I'm so sorry to hear of your situation. Sadly it's all to common for many.Have you contacted the manufactor for the possibility they have a med. cost reduction program or a patient assistance dept. based on financial need? medical supervision is essential when undertaking a hypertension taper and or cessation program.Please do not attempt to do this on your own. ## Hello, Alicia!

The pharmacist gave me azor 1mg to give to the dogs during festive season. Is it the right stuff for dogs? When it comes to fireworks etc, the dogs are scared of the loud bang from crackers and also thunderstorms. I am talking about big breed dogs. ## Hi, Azor 1mg is a VERY low dose. Are you sure its only 1mg? Cos the lowest dize i know of is 25mg. If its 1mg, i would consider it safe. Hope its effective though at such a low dose.

I will be taking atenolol + chlorothatizone 100mg/25mg at 9 am and azor 5mg/40mg at 9pm. Is this combination safe? ## Has your doctor instructed you take them both? If so, you should do so, because it is far more dangerous to let a cardiac condition, or high blood pressure continue out of control, than it is to take the medications. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.
