Also any kinds of antidepressants, and medication like triliptal is like a Benzo and you should be cautious about your life, to many people stay silent.in my opinion use very small doses of the triliptal and see how it affects you. What is your dose? 150mg is normally safe, this is a really low dose even if 150 looks big
I'm only familiar with the interactions of Xanax and methadone. Additional information is needed for you,that combination alone will cause respiratory failure or distress. significant numbers of people who abuse these medications also get involved in the abuse of common prescription substances called benzodiazepines. In a study published in May 2014 in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, researchers from several U.S. institutions compared the seriousness of the health outcomes of methadone-benzodiazepine abusers to the health outcomes of buprenorphine-benzodiazepine abusers. These researchers found that, while both groups of abusers are significantly negatively impacted, methadone-benzodiazepine abuse comes with a substantially higher health risk.
Although they’re opioid substances, methadone and buprenorphine act more slowly and have a lower peak effect than heroin and other powerful, frequently abused opioid substances. Taking these properties into account, doctors can prescribe either of the two medications to people in opioid addiction recovery in order to break the cycle of uncontrolled opioid use while simultaneously minimizing risks for the appearance of serious opioid withdrawal symptoms. Benzodiazepines are a group of medications also known as tranquilizers, sedatives or sedative-hypnotics. When introduced into the body, they substantially slow the rate of communication between the nerve cells that populate the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord); for this reason, doctors may also refer to them as depressants or central nervous system depressants. Common examples of benzodiazepines prescribed in the U.S. include alprazolam (Xanax), triazolam (Halcion) and diazepam (Valium). Potential uses for these medications include the relief of panic attacks and other forms of medically serious anxiety and the encouragement of sleepiness in people affected by insomnia or certain other sleep disorders. People who use benzodiazepines run the risk of developing the symptoms of physical dependence, even when they use the medications as instructed by their doctors. Benzodiazepine abusers, in particular, have increased odds of compounding the presence of physical dependence with the symptoms of full-blown addiction.
my husband is on methadone and his NP recommended klonopin for the hallucinations that he has at night so I know this is normal for methadone. As for the tril., I don't think it'a a CNS depressant. I have been on Tegretal and it does not affect you that way. I think you are ok and can take your Dr's word as well as the pharmacist's word that you will be ok.
