Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: They are different compounds with differing effects.  However, anyone with an allergy to one med is at higher risk to be allergic to another.  Going on and off meds repeatedly may sensitive you to a medication.

Question 4

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 5
