A member asked:
I'm taking methadone and xanax (alprazolam) to get off tabs and have epilepsy and had a seizure this morning, is that because i didn't take xanax (alprazolam)?

Possibly: I hope you are seeing an addiction specialist. Coming off of drugs can be difficult and potentially dangerous as i'm sure you already know. Please get help from someone qualified.

Maybe: First of all Methadone and Xanax (alprazolam) is not a great combination. People rarely accidentally overdose on either Methadone or xanax (alprazolam). However the combo is much more dangerous. The seizure could just be a seizure or it could be due to rapid Xanax (alprazolam) wean.
