How many hours in between do I need to safely take xanax and oxycodone?

Hi Laurie! Thanks for your quick response. I have been reading to many websites on xanax withdrawl and drug interactions... got myself so worked up... I couldn't sleep a wink. ;) I honestly feel like I have more anxiety now.. when I stopped the xanax..then when I started it 13 days ago... it probably is rebound anxiety... ugh! I really don't want to take anymore xanax... but am feeling so anxiety ridden right now. Do you think at the dose I was taking I should ween off..or would cold turkey be better. Thanks for your help!

I don't think you have anything to worry about if you want to just stop the xanax since you were not on it long, but since you are experiencing anxiety now, why not go to 0.5mgs a day for several days then stop. You can continue to take the oxycodone as prescribed if you need to.

I think I will try that... thanks!! My Oxy prescription is old... from a surgery I had almost a year ago... my back was hurting really bad.. so I decided to take one and regretted it... wont be doing that again! Thanks again for your help and taking the time to respond to me. :)

You are welcome!!

I have been taking .25 mgs of Xanax for 20 years and during that time I was taking up towards 200 mgs of the Oxycotin. Now this is just me but it did not bother me at all. My xanax is low always has been I think it is so low that is why they keep me on it. I suppose it is way more mental then a physical need. Oh i take 1/2 tablet 4 times per day. I am now off the OXYs and continue to take xanax along with suboxone. 2mgs once per day. My dr told me there is no worries at least for me. I am just giving my own personal experience so do not think we are all alike. I am willing to bet xanax does little for me by now but no doubt I am addicted to it but also do not have any bad effects or side effects does not slow me down nor make me sleepy. I fly a lot, sometime as far as Sydney Australia, I would not travel without xanax. I hate anxiety and make it worse by thinking about it or even talking about it. I am doing do hoping it might eleviate some of your concerns. BUT always check with your DR.
Good luck!

Thanks Coby. I ended up taking a .25mg xanax last night and I felt fine... It really helped with the anxiety I was having... even at that low dose. :)

Gald to hear Trisha, I hope you are still doing well. i have been away on business or would have responded sooner.
Hoping you are having a good day!
