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.

would be a terrible interaction. I asked if this was something new

that they had just discovered and he said " I don't know " .

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.

duh. Alright, if I keel over you will all know it is because I did

not listen to him.
