That is something only a professional should be giving you advice on,as this is a question for your doctor....no one here can give you advice on drug usage.

Best wishes...and take care

iv been prescribed 1 mg twice a day for several years. That means it doesn’t work that well for me now unfortunately. I don’t know what dose u should take tho .talk to your doctor

hi there,

I believe there will be a moderate to severe drug interaction with those two drugs at the same time. I would highly recommend seeking a psychiatrist and talking to the doctor who has prescribed methadone to you. These drugs together can cause very serious interactions. Also on a larger note. Do not exceed the dosage recommended by you prescriber with the Xanax. And really Xanax should not be taken daily for no more than two weeks and should be used more in an as needed basis. Something to try instead of the Xanax that I have found works better than any drug is exercise, go to the gym get in a good 30min of cardio, then do some weights like using a life fitness circuit system. Also another huge help I’ve found is the practice of meditation. I used an app called 10 precent happier. Not joke it really does work and I highly recommend. Just don’t get caught in the Xanax rabbit hole cause it is a brutal one to climb out of no matter what your dosage is. I’m currently climbing out of a 2 mg a day rabbit hole and it’s gonna take me over a year to get off that dosage. But regardless of what I have stated please talk to your prescribers, as questions, get second opinions. Don’t create a new problem while try to fix another. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and the best of health in your future.

Sorry, JT, but none of us are doctors. You would be best to speak to your family doc.

Cheers, Midori
