Contract + Xanax

Has anybody taken Contrave with Xanax? I'm not at a point I would give up Xanax (1 pill a day) for Contrave, because of ongoing reasons .. but I have read several people say Contrave left them with terrible headaches and I have read benzos can be affected by Contrave (which Xanax greatly reduced my daily headaches). So, just curious if anybody has been on both and if so if they felt one counteracts the other or resulted in any other side effects?

From what I'm reading in the FDA warnings is that it depends on how much Xanax you take, taking too much of it with the Bupropion in the Contrave creates a risk of seizures, so does suddenly withdrawing from it.

Thus, if your doctor is willing to prescribe both, you have to be careful not to take a lot of Xanax and not to run out, while still on the Contrave.

The FDA warns that Xanax carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

The other typical side effects for Contrave may include nausea, dizziness, insomnia and nervousness.

Is there anything else I can help with?
