He is on Oxyneo for the pain. His dr. has refused him valium but has given him zanax which seems to be helping is there a danger taking Zanax with the oxyneo?

Hi,
Alprazolam (Xanax) produces additive CNS depressant effects with OxyNeo (extended-release formulation of the oxycodone). Diazepam (Valium) is of the same benzodiazepine drug family as Alprazolam.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
