What happens if you take sleeping pills with an energy drink?
What happens if you take sleeping pills with an energy drink?Most energy drinks contain caffeine, which is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. Sleeping pills tend to be CNS depressants. Best case scenario: they cancel each other's effects. Worst case scenario: the CNS depressant action gives you brain fog (tired, can't think) while the caffeine makes you restless (can't sleep). It's not a combination I'd recommend trying.
Is is safe to drink alcohol and take diet pills?
ya, I can't think of any medicine that is safe to use with alcohol....I don't know how dangerous it is for lipozene and alcohol. Try googling "lipozene and alcohol" side effects. See if anyone posted stories or if a government site has information.
Is it bad to drink pills with soda 'coca cola"?
The vast majority of pills can be washed down with Coca-Cola, if you prefer. Water is ideal, but Coca-Cola doesn't really react with medications, so it doesn't matter much. (And contrary to an old urban legend, there's no interaction between Coke and aspirin, either.) And you need not worry about the acid in the Coke. The acid in your stomach can eat through iron, so the small amount of weak acid in a Coke pales to insignificance in comparison. Sorry, Lil Fuzzy, but independent effects of a drink are not the same as toxic interactions. Caffeine can affect asthma, but it doesn't matter how it is taken in—a caffeine pill is just as bad as a glass of Coke (worse, since the Coke usually contains less caffeine). And the acid in Coke (phosphoric and carbonic acids) is very tame compared to stomach acid. So whether you take a pill with Coke or not doesn't make a lot of difference. The pill is in your stomach very rapidly, where extremely strong acids will attack it, making the weak acidity of Coke moot. Coke may somewhat enhance absorption of some drugs, but that's true of many drinks, and enhancing and changing aren't the same thing. I know about the old school thing where you put a tooth in a glass of Coke and it dissolves. The tooth will do the same thing in orange juice or vinegar, though, and if you put a tooth in full-strength stomach acid, it will practically foam away before your eyes. If you want to worry about drink and drug interactions, worry about milk instead, as it causes more problems than Coke ever does. For example, the calcium in milk can inactivate some antibiotics (which is why you're advised not to drink milk with tetracycline).

What kind of pills can I take when I'm depressed that are the least damaging?

Can I drink if I take Abilify, Lamictal, Paxil and Clonopin?
It won't do any good to skip your dose and they are already in your system. You can die from an overdose by mixing these with alcohol. That's what my my boyfriend's phychiatrist told him. That's way too many medications. Be careful!
What happens when you drink alcohol and take a pill?
If you drink alcohol with any kind of medication, it can mess up the proportions... it can make medications either more or less effective, depending on the medication... Alcohol is basically fremented sugar, so it acts as a "depressor" (notice that being drunk is sort of a "downer" that makes you slower and generally less-happy while caffiene tends to make people faster and more excited) so taking it with other downers usually enhances the effects and taking it with "uppers" usually deminishes the effects, but again, it can vary depending on the specific medication... The rule of thumb would be to ask a pharmacist or doctor if whatever medication would interact with alcohol... As for the movie, I don't remember if I've seen it or not so I don't know what specifically the person tok or if the effects were accurate or whatever. *edit* And I agree with majstikleo, but it's "heart attack" not "hard attack"... :)
