Can Chlordiazepoxide Be Taken Along With Divalproex?

default
Posted on Tue, 13 Dec 2016
Question: Is mixing Chlordiazepoxide and Divalproex dangerous? I am an alcoholic that relapsed and I have had a few seizures from alcohol withdrawal in the past few years. Two within the last few weeks. I was prescribed by different ER doctors the prescriptions mentioned above alone with Naltrexone.. I'm a 29 year old professional highly functioning alcoholic and desperately seeking to live a better, healthy life. I'm involved in support groups, believe in God and know what I need to do but the seizures scare me, a lot. I stop taking the prescribed pills because I feel they will interact with alcohol and when I need to drive or work having that small amount prior relieves me that I won't die. I once had a seizure while driving when I was trying to quit drinking, it had been ten days, I took the men's the doc prescribed and on that final day, I went back to my normal routine and medication (adderall and multi vitamins - been taking for the last ten years except no adderall when detoxing). I need to know I can detox safely. Any advice on the medications I've mentioned?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

According to medscape drug interaction checker as well as drugs.com drug interaction there are no interactions unless you are trying to conceive (the interaction can potentially increase the risk of birth defects).

There is also no interaction with naltrexone.

This means that they can be used safely together

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
