methadone ↔ alprazolam
Applies to: methadone, Xanax (alprazolam)
MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

You shouldn't have a problem with just one its taking many that can cause overdose. Always take medication As percrubed by your doctor if your going to go out on a limb. Read the package and take As it says. Call your pharmacy to ensure that the drugs you are taking do not cause an interaction As some can potentially be fatal if mixed together. You are fine to take one zanax of that dose probably every 4 to 6 hours. Read the label to make sure

In my unprofessional opinion absolutely not safe. My father has been struggling with opiate addictions for 20 years and been on and off methadone treatment for years. His recent actions have driven me to research these drug interactions. He has been trying to get his hands on xanax from anyone he can lately including his own daughter. He tells her its so he can sleep but now we know why he acts like a junkie for it. The methadone xanax mix is the equivalent of a heroin high but lasts all day with brain damaging effects. My father is acting like a drug addict again and rightfully so... he is. He still does the nodding off thing all the time. Methadone is suppose to help people get off opiates by lowering the dose over time. So why has he been on the junk for years and now addicted to xanax and adderall.

Hi, I just found this site and have been grieving my sister for 2 1/2 years now who died at age 52 from Xanax and Methadone overdosing. She had taken them together for a couple of years I believe, and kept upping the dosages. Her best friend, my other sister, and myself kept telling her that she is taking too much medication as her speech was slurred and she shouldn't have been driving as she made a lot of mistakes, like putting the gas on instead of the brakes. She also had hallucinated seeing bugs in the kitchen drawers.

No!! It is not safe to take these two drugs together. Any combination of them can be a lethal overdose. My doctor made a huge mistake and prescribed me methidone and Xanax at the same time and my pharmacist filled them and after talking a 10mg methidone and a 1mg xanax I woke up in the hospital with a tube down my throat after they gave me narcan to start my heart. Please don't do it.

I know this is an old post, but it is so riddled with factual mistakes and pure speculation. Don't listen to anything this post has to say. Making posts like this is making the problem worse. Because you posted incorrect information, you are putting more people at risk.
