drug interactions

[robbiecriss]

Okay, I knew I probably should not have read about it but in reading about the new drug my doctor put me on digoxin I see where it interacts negatively with xanax. I am not a regular user of xanax but have some in case I can't sleep or am nervous flying, etc... Does anyone know if this will be a problem if I take small dosages of xanax say once or twice a week? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not a doctor and I can't say for sure, but it seems unlikely that a low dose Xanax would interfere with the Dig.  If you really don't want to check with the doctor, try calling your pharmacist.  He/she should be able to let you know for sure.

I am wondering if you are uneasy about taking digoxin.  If so, I would ask you cardio if you can get by with just the TOPROL XL.  Digoxin, xanax, toprol xl, and  lisinoprol seems like a lot of stuff to be taking.  

I am a runner and only take TOPROL XL 12.5mg. This knocks out my extra beats and really slows my heart down. A little seems to go a long way for me.
