TDS How bad would it be to take a little Benzo at this point- (Please Read)

[TheStarOnIR]

I took Fluoxetine (Prozac) by mistake this morning, I typically take two 50mg Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) one first thing in the am and another around lunch. Well I had evidently had a few more Fluoxetine in my bottle being that originally was the bottles contents. As some of you may know- They look and feel similar to my Vyvanse. I just poured the pill in my hand took it. I looked down very briefly as I took the pill and swallowed nearly instantly. It then occured to me that I had just taken old Prozac from past treatment from a different clinician. Nevertheless I went about my Vyvanse dose (AM & PM) as usual considering I wasn't exactly devestated or extremely concerned. aSo, around lunch I took my second vyvanse as usual (50mg). To bring me at 100mg for the day. I started feeling highly woundup, and definitely Anxious. This does tend to happpen occassionally considering I am in fact naturally very anxious. However, I am also very respectful to anything that manipulates a man mind and/ or body. (Drugs for that matter) this compelling me to at the very least address the issue.

So to ask the begging question here- I have Xanax on hand (0.5mg Peaches)(Benzodiazpine). An ideal situation would be to alliveiate/ mitigate this and take one of these in an effort to calm down, provided I am 100% free from harm or out of the woods so to speak. If I need to weather the storm and just naturally let it run its course of action I will do so.

What do you guys think, would you say I am okay to take the peach, or would you play it safe?

Thanks

If you are experiencing anxiety, a benzodiazepine should help calm you down.
Vyvanse is a CNS stimulant, and Xanax acts a CNS depressant. But as always, if you're experiencing severe side effects from what you just took, PLEASE contact a health professional immediately.

If you are trying to avoid using the Xanax, you can always talk to friends/family, or go on a walk to burn up some of the excessive energy. Anxiety is often energy within us that we feel unable to let out, and exercising is an ideal way to get this energy out of your system in a very healthy and constructive way.

If you are still having anxiety/panic really bad, then I would of course take some of the medication.

In the future, you can also use drugs.com interactions checker, to make sure you won't do any unwanted harm to yourself by combining certain medications. As an alternative, you can call the pharmacy you got your medications at to verify this - or you can do both to be on the safe side of harm reduction.

It's always better to be safe than sorry; so stay safe and let us know how you're feeling.

so you took prozac instead of vyvanse and have anxiety? wouldn't vyvanse create far more stimulation than prozac? IMO you shouldn't really feel much from taking a single dose of prozac, though there may be effects i can't see them causing more stimulation than an actual stimulant.
