A question.... doc says dont take antibiotic with xanax

March 1, 2008

I have been on Xanax for at least 10 years and have been prescribed

antibiotics at the same time, including the one that you are on and I have NEVER

been

told that they would inter-react and they never have. How weird that the PA

told you that. Get well!!!!

Love and gentle hugs,

I went to the doc the other day. He prescribed Azithromycin for my resp problem

and told me " don't take your Xanax for the 5 days you are on this " . I was

dumbfounded. I said " why " ... He said there would be a terrible interaction. I

asked if this was something new that they had just discovered and he said " I

don't know " .

Well, for his info....(He is a P.A.- not my real doc)... I have given these

drugs together for years. I have never seen anyone hurt by it or keel over and

die. And I can find almost nothing on the internet about it. I believe I have

taken it before while I was on Xanax. Ok... Azithromycin is similar to

Erythromycin which is one of the oldest antibiotics. Also I want to know if he

thinks that some nice Xanax withdrawals after 5 days cold turkey would be the

best thing to do. Whatever. I have seen it prescribed many times to people on

Xanax with no problem. I also presume he thinks I take Xanax just for the hell

of it and don't need it.

Needless to say I am taking the crap together. I am about to fill it because I

guess I won't get over this crap without something.

Just venting. And by the way, he does not know I am a R.N. either. He looked

at me like " what would make you ask this " ?????? duh. Alright, if I keel over

you will all know it is because I did not listen to him.

love and hugs,

Good for you for ignoring that PA's warning if he can't explain why

better than that. I checked my drug book and there isn't any warning

about taking Azithromycin with Xanax but there is one for Halcion.

Just be careful and stop the antibiotic if you have problems.

Maybe the fool got Zantac and Xanax mixed up.

Isn't it antacids you aren't supposed to take with some antibiotics?
