I was prescribed .5mg of Xanax today to be taken as needed every 4 hours. Anyways since I know I'll be smoking sometime soon, how safe is it for me to mix the two? I don't really want to get more fucked up then weed would normally get me. Will this make me fall asleep? Make me forget shit? I just wanna make sure I'm not incapacitated because I took the fucking pill and smoked some weed. And please mods don't delete the thread because it's not about recreationally taking it.
This is precisely the sort of thread we do our best to leave up--since it's about a legally prescribed med.
Don't know what it'll do, Matt, because everyone's different. But if you're taking the Xanax for anxiety, cannabis sometimes does aggravate anxiety or provoke it. You already know that, but just be aware that that might jump up and bite you and defeat the purpose of the medicine. As far as other interactions, a .5 dosage is fairly minimal. An interaction would be a lot more dangerous with alcohol. Don't drink with it. But I'm guessing if it's like similar anti-anxiety medicines, you might simply be apt to get drowsy. I don't think it's very likely to incapacitate you unless you weigh like 95 pounds and are a slow metabolizer of medicines. Like I said, a .5 dosage is a very small one.
Thanks for the help. If you want you can close/delete the thread. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna end up somewhere and not know how I got there(seen it happen when people take it with alcohol).
Pretty unlikely, unless you got some mighty strong weed and took a lot of Xanax along with it. Alcohol's much more likely to have that effect, especially if you were to add it to the mix along with cannabis and your prescribed medicine. That's why it's so darn crazy that alcohol's the substance that's legal. It's a heck of a lot more dangerous.
I think I'll take your suggestion and close up this thread. Take care of yourself, hun!
