Alprazolam (xanax) and diazepam, are they the same?
Question:
Her doctor is on holidays..cant ask him.
Answers:
They are in the same class of drugs. Xanax and diazepam are benzodiazepam's..both are for the same thing. She can take either.but, not both.
They are both controlled drugs and she could easily oversedate herself. Or you could over sedate her. Very dangerous drugs to be not be taken exactly as her doctor prescribed.
Other Answers:
one is xanax, the other valium. Yes, it would be okay to alternate but don't take both together. And wait 6hrs between doses.
Diazepam is valium not eactly the same, they belong to same group of drug called benzodiazapines and thus have same mech of action. the difference lies in duration of action, indication for use etc. alprax is normally used to anxiety and sleep disoders. diazepam can work as well but one cant switch one for the other as both have different durations. one might need to develop a schedule based on how long effect lasts, interchanging drugs would disturb body's adaptation to it.
Diazepam is used to treat anxiety, acute alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. It is also used to relieve muscle spasms and to provide sedation before medical procedures. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect.
It is the same as Valium (generic name).
Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It belongs to THE SAME class of medications called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect.
Therefore, they are both used for very similar issues, but are not the same drug. They will be different chemically. She should take whichever the doctor said to take and not mix them up or substitute one for the other.
They come from the same family but they are different. They are both nerve pills.
I have taken both and xanax works better. If she dosen't want to take them then tell her don't cause they must make her feel weird or something.
