A member asked:
Is it safe to take a xanax (alprazolam) and cyclobenzaprine in a couple of hours?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: Both xanax [alprazolam] and cyclobenzaprine can have sedating side effects. It is possible that it's safe to take cyclobenzaprine a couple of hours after xanax, but you really need to speak to your doc about this. Factors that can cause drug interactions include how quickly you metabolize both drugs, other medications you take and medical issues you have. Don't drink with either medication.

Probably not . . .: Check out online.Epocrates.Com and www.Drugs.Com for their medication interaction checkers. Epocrates warns that taking both together increases risk of CNS depression & psychomotor impairment. Whoever prescribed you 2nd drug should've been made aware of 1st drug and either avoided or warned u. Bottom line: always tell your docs what you're taking, including over-the-counter & herbal/organic stuff.
