Modafinil and Xanax Mix: Results That You Should Expect
Can You Take Modafinil & Xanax Together?
Yes, you can take modafinil and Xanax together, but you probably shouldn’t unless advised to do so by a doctor or healthcare provider. While it isn’t set in stone, there is a possibility that Xanax may reduce the effectiveness of modafinil because of its CNS-depressant effects. Thus, users may not be as alert and focused as they should after popping a modafinil tablet. According to Drugs.com, interaction between both drugs tend to be minor, but dose adjustments may be necessary, and the use should be monitored by a doctor [8].
Is This Combination Safe?
Yes and no.
The answer is yes because an interaction checker indicates a minor interaction if both drugs are combined. This is not to mention the fact that several individuals who have tried mixing both meds have reported no serious side effects. However, it is worth noting that meds work differently in different individuals; the fact that the combination is safe in certain individuals does not guarantee that it will be safe for you.
The answer is no because the information on modafinil’s label warns that taking this drug alongside benzodiazepines such as Xanax may cause undesired effects [9].
