Has anyone had to take Genvoya and Xanax together? What benzodiazepines are recommended? ## An ingredient in Genvoya can actually increase the amount of Xanax that you absorb, so it could be dangerous to take them together, and the FDA generally recommends that it be avoided. Combining them could cause more extreme side effects than usual, such as nausea, dizziness, sedation, lowered heart rate, and respiratory depression. Has your doctor prescribed them both? In some cases, it may depend on the dose of Xanax that someone is taking, lower doses may not be as risky, but only your doctor can help you decide if it safe for you.

It is very strange for both of us, we work out 5 days a week and eat pretty healthy but are struggling to loose the weight. Has anyone else gained weight? I myself have never weighed this much even when I was not working out and eating poorly. ## Most medications can cause weight gain in people that take them, according to FDA instructions. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and diarrhea. What is your current weight? Are you still gaining? What does your normal diet consist of? ## Funny, I’ve been taking it for a couple months and suddenly have belly fat... I cycle, spin and have always been thin. Suddenly having a b...
