ok, i know you guys hate cosmo. but i was flipping through in the bathtub just now and there's an article about "safe" drugs. a chart was in there, listing a drug, and the dangers of mixing them with every day things, like the pill.
xanax or valium - use caution with the pill, antihistimines, antibiotics, antidepressants, cough medication, narcotics. any of these things can cause decreased efficacy or a buildup of xanax in the blood.
oral contraceptives, it says, when mixed with anxiety meds, can decrease efficacy of the pill and ativan, and again, cause a buildup of xanax or valium in the blood.
it lists painkillers too, that i think are kind of "duh" blurbs, but the pill/anxiety combo part freaked me out. im on the pill, and the doctor didnt tell me that it would have ANY affect when he prescribed ativan OR xanax to me. and antihistimines? like claritin? that i took this morning?
