Important info for smokers

Posted by ChicagoKat on October 3, 2012, at 10:08:44

FYI, smoking leads to a 50% decrease in blood levels/efficacy of Xanax.

So if you are a smoker and are on Xanax, or are ever put on Xanax, let your pdoc know about this and have him or her up your dose of Xanax, or better yet, have him or her change you to a different benzo such as Ativan which does not have such an interaction.

If your pdoc is skeptical about this info, tell him/her that a PharmD (pharmacist) told you about it.
