A member asked:

Use opiates for rls, dr just prescribed alprazolam for severe agoraphobia. i have read conflicting information on this so can i use both without prob?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many people do.: Yes, there is a relative contraindication to using these meds together, but I assume your doc was aware of your other prescriptions at the time they wrote the alprazolam. Sometimes one needs both meds.

Dr Juchau and another doctor agreed
