Question 1

can you tell me about taking alprazolam (xanax) or trazodone while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy risks: Benzodiadepines including xanax (alprazolam) are rated category d in pregnancy.  This means that there is positive evidence of human fetal risk, but in life-threatening or serious illnesses the risk may be acceptable if there are no safer drugs available.  Trazodone is category c, meaning risk cannot be ruled out but no human studies prove safety.  You, your ob, and psychiatrist need to confer ; weigh risks.

Question 2

is trazodone safe to take with xanax (alprazolam) ?

Accepted Answer

Possible interaction: Per drugs. Com there is potential for a moderate interaction:  “using Alprazolam together with trazodone may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment.” however, if you are taking it at bedtime (and not using alcohol) you will most likely do fine.

Question 3

what's the equivalence of a 50 mg trazodone to  xanax (alprazolam)?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated drugs: These are unrelated drugs and there is no established dose equivalence. Long term use of Xanax (alprazolam) is, for the most part, not recommended, I recommend you consult with your primary care physician.

Question 4

i take 1mg of xanax (alprazolam) and 100mg of trazodone at bedtime to help me sleep. can i safely drive a car the next day?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On how alert you feel the next day. Trazadone notoriously can produce hangover sensations, and might make it unsuitable to drive. Being on both Alprazolam and trazadone sounds like overkill to me, and long-term use of benzodiazepines for sleep is not necessarily the best thing. There are other psychological treatments for insomnia/anxiety that are ultimately healthier and give more normal sleep.

Question 5

i take 1 mg xanax (alprazolam) and 100mg trazodone before i to go to sleep. can i drive a car the next day?

Accepted Answer

As long as: You are not sedated.  You need to be thinking coherently with good reaction times. There are some people who have residual grogginess with these medications.

Question 6

i was prescibed trazodone for insomnia but had allergy next he prescibed ambien but makes me feel weird, is it bad to suggest xanax (alprazolam) or other med?

Accepted Answer

Cause for insomnia?: Referral (possibly to psychiatrist) for thorough evaluation of your insomnia might be the smartest request you could make.  It's better than asking for more medicines when it's not clear "why" you're having this problem.  If you're still taking vyvanse (as on your other info), this may be related.  Ambien (zolpidem) can indeed result in feeling "weird" -- also doing odd things at night after taking it.

Question 7

i have sever insomnia and was prescribed trazodone, that was dc because of allergy. next he put me on ambien, but it makes me feel realy weird. ** is it frowned upon to suggest xanax (alprazolam) or another med?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doc: Let your doctor know how you're feeling on your current medication and he will be able to figure out what's best for you based on your sxs and side effects of the medications. Good luck.

Question 8

i use crystal meth&also mix norcos, xanax, (alprazolam) somas&trazodone. i know the mixing is unsafe&i'm ok w dying but i'm wondering how meth effects the combo?

Accepted Answer

Please seek help: This pattern of multi-drug use is very dangerous. Crystal meth is the most dangerous and addictive of the medications. All of the other drugs you are using cause sedation and the meth causes excitation of the nervous system so may offset the sedation of the other drugs. Please seek help immediately. There is treatment. You do not have to die from this.

Question 9

i took 25 mg of agomelatine
1 mg of xanax and accidentally also took 50 mg of trazodone that i forgot i stopped taking. is this combination dangerous? when should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Don't Worry: Using alprazolam together with trazodone may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Xanax and trazodone don’t impact the same pathways in the body. Xanax affects the central nervous system and trazodone impacts chemicals in the brain, so this reduces the risk of dangerous interactions with Xanax and trazodone together. Dispose of past meds.

Question 10

if had taken 0.50mg of clonazepam for 2 weeks once a day and then started xanax the next day and have no take it for 4 days at 0.50 once and 1mg for the other 3 days is it safe to just stop and start my trazodone 50mg to replace the xanax and be fine?

Accepted Answer

: A trusted physician should be in charge of your medication and its dosage.  I advise against any change in medication unless advised by your physician.  If you have lost trust, a change in physician is to be considered.
