Snus and anxiety medication interactions?

[NeonMouse]

I think if i remember correctly from my experiments with street benzos that nicotine will shorten the duration of effects of benzos. Plus taking a stim with a downer is a bit counterproductive. It will still work but you might need to take mroe of it and more frequently then you would other wise.

That might just be smoking, i cant remember... wasnt snusing and have never vaped.

I would kill for a fist full of xanax. keep filling the script while its prescribed imo. just use occasionally.

I'd look at the Xanax documentation. Snus will be the same as cigarettes as far as interactions go. If the documentation doesn't mention anything, you may still notice some kind of interaction, but you'll have to decide whether it's acceptable or not.

I usually agree with Lxskllr but i found a subtle/slight interactions with things like yerba mate tea and meds i take which weren't always the same if i were a smoker rather than a snusser.

Personally for me i would be very wary with some of the presription meds like Xanax...

I know a lot of questions have already been answered, but I want to chime in as someone who has personally been through a mental breakdown and anxiety disorder.

As far as nicotine and Xanax, you'll be fine I amoked like normal when taking Xanax and the pills worked fine and I had no ill effects, the only things you have to watch out for are other "downers" like alcohol which can intensify the effects of the benzo to a potentially dangerous level.

The best thing you can do for yourself to get over the anxiety would be 1. Exercise, seems odd but it helps a lot, 2. Stay away from caffeine, try to drink water and intake very little to no caffeine, 3. Be careful with Xanax, that can be nasty stuff under no circumstance should you take it daily or make a habit of it, only use as little as you can as rarely as you can and you'll be fine just don't make it a habit, only when you absolutely have to have it.

Don't drink monsters, those things send me into a frenzy and I have anxiety for a day or two if I drink one of those, even if I drink a doctor pepper, coke, or sweat tea I still get jittery, try to stick with water or caffeine free green tea and you'll be fine, also try to learn some relaxation and breathing techniques and learn to calm yourself you'll be fine with a bit of work.
