Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are no significant interactions listed for this drug combination.

Question 2

hi i currently take diazepam quitiapine ecitalopram pregabalin tramadol is it ok for me to take 5-hsp on top of that thanks?

Accepted Answer

Huh?: I googled 5-hsp and found lots of models of monster trucks. So you might want to check on the spelling of the med you are referring to.  If you are referring to 5-HT reuptake inhibitors then watch out. Adding that to your list would put you at risk for serotonin syndrome. As it is the meds you take all lower your seizure threshold and diazepam withdrawal can be dangerous.

Question 3

could someone take imovane with sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

Not typically: Imovane is a central nervous system depressant prescribed as a sleep aid medication (. Because imovane can worsen symptoms of respiratory disorders, people with sleep apnea, emphysema, asthma or bronchitis may not be able to safely take imovane.  

Never take any sleep aid without the supervision of a physician.

Question 6

can benzodiazepines cause sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

Definitely, SA: occurs when the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway, often accompanied by the loud snoring. Another common signs of sleep apnea are sleepiness and tiredness during the day due to lack of sleep during the night. The benzodiazepines  may worsen sleep-related breathing disorders. Talk to your sleep specialist for more information.

Question 7

can suboxone cause sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

Central and OSA: Narcotics like Suboxone can cause respiratory depression--a decreased responsiveness to elevated co2 levels in the blood. Because the brain responds to the difference between o2 and co2 to trigger breathing, the result is slowed (hypopnea) or stopped (apnea) breathing or central apnea. Drug use/abuse can also decrease muscle tone leading to collapse of the soft tissues and tongue--obstructive sa.

Question 8

will suboxone worsen sleep apnea!

Accepted Answer

Yes: Suboxone , Buprenorphine plus Naltrexone , stimulate my receptors and can lead to respiratory depression, as such it  can worsen sleep apnea.  In combination with Xanax (alprazolam) and similar drugs, deaths have been reported.

Question 9

can dehydration worsen sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Usually things that worsen sleep apnea is weight gain, alcohol, and other sedating medicines. Not sure that dehydration can do it.

Question 10

can psvt cause sleep apnea?

Accepted Answer

No: Obstructive sleep apnea (osa) is a condition of cessation of breathing during sleep. It is due to obstruction of the oropharyngeal airway usually at the level of the tongue or epiglottis. Two-thirds of patients with osa are overweight and fatty infiltration of the neck and tongue may also contribute to airway obstruction during sleep.
