Question 1

i rarely take xanax (alprazolam) for anxiety, but yesterday i took 1.5mg over the course of the entire day. it's been 24 hours can i drink alcohol? or wait longer?

Accepted Answer

That depends: On other factors as well.  Also are you presently on any other medications?   Is drinking = 1 beer or a six pack?   More information needed.  Hope this helps.

Question 2

is it ok to take famotidine after drinking alcohol? i've been drinking pretty much 3 hours ago... can i take it right now or should i wait longer?

Accepted Answer

Should be ok: If your last drink of alcohol was 3hrs ago, should be fine to take.

Question 3

how long should i wait to drink alcohol after i take 30mg of vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)? i took my daily 30mg dose of vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) at 11:30am this morning.

Accepted Answer

You should not drink: You should not drink alcohol while you are taking vynase as there is serious drg interaction and can lead to serious often irreversible side effects and in extreme cases even death can occur.

Question 4

how long should i wait to take hydrocodone after drinking a few beers?

Accepted Answer

The next day: You should not take opiates and drink alcohol at the same time ever.

Question 5

i am prescribed .5 clonazepam i didn't take my doss last night because i planned to drink today how long should i wait till i take my dose? i'm afraid

Accepted Answer

Time out!: The issue isn't the drinking and the clonazapam. The issue is that your anxiety requires more than the Clonazepam to help you manage it. It also helps to  learn anxiety coping skills from a qualified professional. 
As far as drinking and taking the dosage tonight,  4-6 hours after last drink should be fine .  Check with your pharmacist if you want a direct answer.

Question 6

how long should i wait before or after drinking alcohol should i take cialis for ed?

Accepted Answer

Don't have to: There's no waiting period for food and alcohol with Cialis but don't have more than a couple of drinks.

Question 7

i take clanozipam everyday i have bad anxiety and yes i do drink but i have already taken 2 0.5 but i can't sleep how long should i wait to take 1 mor?

Accepted Answer

Is it as prescribed: Popping clonazipam is not a good idea, especially if you've been drinking.  I would recommend that you don't take any more until consulting with your prescribing doctor.

Question 8

i had an energy drink an hour ago. i have a cold and was trying to wake up a bit for work but i also need to take some cold medicine. i read you shouldn't combine the two. how long should i wait till i can take my cold medicine?

Accepted Answer

: If the cold medicine does not contain pseudoephedrine you can take it anytime. If it contains pseudoephedrine, you should wait for 4 hours after the energy drink. However, if you do not have history of hypertension or heart problem, I do not worry much about the interaction for just one time. The caution has to be there because the combination is harmful to certain people with chronic illnesses.

Question 9

how long should i wait to take a dose of benadryl (diphenhydramine) after having an alcoholic drink?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Count Benadryl (diphenhydramine) as a drink (some say as much as two but I think it depends on the individual) for its effects on your body and mind , then judge for yourself.  Drink +driving= potential disaster.

Question 10

i take thyroid pills throughout the day. i drink two cups of coffee with milk. how long should i wait before taking my next dose?

Accepted Answer

Read bottle, but...: thyroid hormones should be taken separately from most any other medication or supplement and actually even food or coffee with milk.  Take it when you first arise (with a full glass of water). Some people keep it on their bedstands and take even before they actually get up.  If you are taking THYROID throughout the day, you should separate it by about 30 mins (before and after) from anything else.
