Question 3

can narcan (naloxone) sober up a drunk person?

Accepted Answer

No: Narcan (naloxone) is specifically used to reverse the effects of narcotics and other similar medications.  It has no "reversing" effect on alcohol.

Question 4

what is the best benzo to replace ativan (lorazepam)?

Accepted Answer

Benzo: All are basically same. The difference is how long they stay in your system. For example, Ativan (lorazepam) is short-acting, Diazepam is long. Discuss with your Doc.

Question 5

please describe the next strongest benzodiazepine to xanax (alprazolam)?

Accepted Answer

Depends  on the dose: Benzodiazepines differ from each other in their half lifes,  which is the time it takes for the body to eliminate half of the medication.  Short acting forms are more addicting because they are eliminated faster and as they wear off the person feels it and wants the next dose.  Longer acting forms,  such as Klonopin (clonazepam) ,  have less of a tendency to do this. Change over needs to be done gradually.

Question 6

could taking suboxone ruin your opiate receptors?

Accepted Answer

Opiate receptor : Suboxone, just like other opiates, can cause a change in opiate receptor physiology. Most opiates do this at the mu receptor whereas Suboxone also causes changes at the kappa opioid receptor. The change does not seem to be permanent and things can return to normal after a period of drug free interval which can vary between individuals.

Question 7

what anti-anxiety drug keeps you sedated?

Accepted Answer

Why?: Why do you want to be sedated?  Usually we try to find a medication that helps with anxiety but does not make the patient sedated.  Xanax (alprazolam) or Valium  tend to be sedating.

Question 8

what is flumazenil (clonazepam) detox?

Accepted Answer

Risky detox tool: Flumazanil is currently not recommended to treat chronic benzodiazepines by the American College of Medical Toxicology.  There is a very real risk that rapid reversal of benzodiazepines can lead to refractory seizures only treatable with barbiturates as flumazanil binds to GABA receptors with greater affinity, which could lead to unopposed glutamate stimulation.  Benzodiazepine tapers are better

Question 9

why would anyone abuse the perscription drug thorazine (chlorpromazine)?

Accepted Answer

Wow ... : That is strange.  It is a cheap way to fall asleep, so, if someone wants to sleep their life away, while putting up with all of the unpleasant side effects of thorazine, (chlorpromazine) i guess that could be a reason.  Otherwise, i'm at a loss.
