What are the long term affects of mixing pills that are uppers and downers. Or will my body be able to repair.

that is debatable.\nI would suggest looking up the effects and information on the website\n\nwww.erowid.org\n\nthey have tons of information.\n\nI can tell you that your body finds it MUCH MUCH more dificult to recover from the effects of uppers than downers.

It all depends on the drug.  Mixing uppers and downers(alcohol is a downer) is a good way to give yourself a heart attack.  Tylenol & booze can cause serious liver problems (even when it isn't taken in 'abuse' doses).  Sometimes certian perscriptions say to avoid alcohol because it lessens the effect of the drug.  For example, antibiotics say don't take with alcohol, but that's because alcohol can cancel some of the effects of the antibiotic... so you may stay sick, but you won't get any sicker.  Obviously, it is not a good idea to mix drugs & alcohol, but if you do be really careful.  You get much more drunk or high doing both at once.  It might sound good, but it could definitely be a bad thing when you wake up next to Chewbaka... or in the gutter.

It depends on whether you've built up a tolerance to these drugs or not, which would probably take years to do. I wouldn't mix the two drugs it will probably make you throw up. I have a really high tolerance to hydrocodone so it takes about 20mgs to get pain relief so it all depends on the person.  If you haven't taken it that much I would say yes, that's too much.

Yes - you will be overdosing on the iron within the pills.  This can be fatal, and is more common in children.

Unless you live under a rock, you must know the dangers of cannabis, and you certainly should know the long-term dangers of antidepressants. Whether mixing them together has any effect on you I doubt if anyone really knows. (Cannabis can actually cause depression in some people so it begs the question: why use it AND take an ANTIdepressant at the same time? Come off the grass and you may find you really don't need to stay on psych drugs at all!)\n\nCertainly, the longer you take Cannabis, the more likely it is you will suffer from its harmful long-term effects (including the possibility of paranoid disorders including schizophrenia). The longer you take antidepressants the more likely you will suffer from their harmful long-term effects (including an abnormal brain chemistry, brain damage, severe liver damage, sexual dysfunction, tardive dyskinesia).\n\n--\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters\nDecoding Psychiatric Propaganda

if all these things happens to you after you started the pill then yes probably with in a month maybe even a few weeks you'd most likely go back to feeling the way you did before.  you could also try talking to you doctor and try a different pill.  so many doctors do not pay attention to those "minor" side effects cause they don't have to live with them.  they are not minor to the people that have to live with them.  and one thing they often don't bother to tell girls is that some pills just screw certain people up.  it can take several pills to find one that works right with your body.  you could go through 2 or 3 or even more to find the right one... although it can be really worth it when you do. good luck i hope you find something that works out so you feel better.

It can be very dangerous. Pills are meant to be swallowed and can destroy the lining inside the nose when snorted. This would have to be surgically repaired if damaged. Just don't snort anything.

You should ask your doc. Mixing herbs and ssri's can be very dangerous. I would be careful of the advice you receive here.

You may develop a tolerance for them and a 'normal' dosage won't work. You may develop a dependency on them. There are many health problems you could encounter such as liver damage. You know they aren't prescribed as a sleep aid don't you?

It intensifies depression if you're taking it for that.  It intensifies any side effects you may already be having.  It totally messes with your body chemistry and it will take days to readjust.  Not smart.

i really don't understand the concept of mood stabilizer with anti-depressants. Mood stablizers are essentially downers and anti-depressants are uppers, it's no wonder people feel worse on meds then off of them ):\ni say clean up the diet and detox first , then seek medication. My moods have stabilized since i eliminated processed foods and starches.

This sounds silly, but I am a mom and a health care worker and I taught my kids and I've taught several patients this way,  First of all, don't crush or break them.  Not all pills are made to be broken and can be dangerous if taken that way.  Second get yourself some fat straws like the ones you get at Mcdonalds.  Take a big drink of any fluid you like just to make sure your mouth is moist..put the pill just in the tip of the straw and suck in a BIG sip of the drink. The straw helps guide the pill and liquid straight down the center of the mouth and throat where it is widest and easiest to let everything pass!  It might tak a little practice but it will work.  Good luck.

I don't know about pills or anything, but you can get things like prescription deoderants and stuff.  If it's that bad, ask the doc.  He'll help ya out.

Green Tea dietary supplements are normally all natural products so you don't have to worry about intermixing medications. I do, however, suggest you contact your doctor and ask him/her just to be on the safe side. There are several types of the pill out there and it may have a reaction with one and not the other. Good luck.

It is actually very easy on your body and doesn't affect your kidneys and rarely affects your liver.  The only side effects really are dependence, and if you are on them for years it starts to lower your testosterone and you may have to get put on a testosterone patch to keep it up, otherwise you will gain weight and lose your ability to maintain erections and build muscle and such.  I have been on it for about seven months now, it's a lot better than being a junkie.
