Can I Take Hydrocodone With Tylenol And Naproxen

Is it ok for me to take one hydrocodone/Tylenol 325 and 2 OTC naproxen. ## Yes, as long as you can take Naproxen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. ## Hello, Alicia! How are you? You should check with your doctor, before mixing them, actually. It is generally okay to do so, but can be contraindicated in some instances. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I started on prednisone for extreme knee and hip pain. Can't sleep. No relief yet. Can I take hydrocodone? I took Tylenol several hours ago with no relief from that either. ## I was put on Celebrex, 200 mg, for severe hip pain and arthritis. Can't mix Advil (only Tylenol) which does nothing for me. Tried cutting a 5/300 Vicodin in half and that sure helped take the edge off. Am going to discuss further with my neuromuscularskeletal doctor. Trying to avoid an epidural shot and surgery. I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and scoliosis, along with arthritis. ## Thank You very much for sharing your challenge with me. It definitely helped me. I decided to break one of the 7.50 hydrocodones in half (i know naproxen is a no-np). I took half and within 10 minutes I felt NO pain....

I had a spinal fusion on Nov 8, 2016... 6 week checkup w/ PA on Dec 20th... Trochanteric Bursitis... Shots given in each hip... She had renewed my prescription of Hydrocodone 7.5/325 before seeing me... I was in horrible pain, told her I couldn't believe she'd switched medication strength prior to seeing me, so she prescribed original Hydrocodone 10/325 and Naproxen 500mg 2x daily... Approx. day 4, "Ah! Relief everywhere I swear! So... I put away the Hydro 10's (40 remained) and stepped down to the 7.5's." I was taking 2 every 6 hours, at one particular dose about an hour and a half later, "Woohoo!" At this point, I took the pills down to 1 every 6 hours, comfortable, able to continue my PT... Tried getting off the medication on my own Jan. 11th to the 15...

I'm researching pain meds for my knee pain after a replacement. ## Naproxen is an nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Naproxen is the generic name for Aleve, The difference is that Aleve is OTC because it is only 220 mg and Naproxen is prescription because it is 500 mg. Vicodin is a combination of hydrocodone and tylenol. Hydrocodone is a narcotic and can be addicting. You must have a prescription to get Vicodin. ## @original post, No, Naproxen is not stronger than Vicodin. Although it could probably compare to the acetaminophen in Vicodin, the hydrocodone is still a far more potent pain reliever in and of itself. If you're unsure of which medication to take for pain relief, I think it would be wise to ask your doctor/surgeon for their opinion on what might be most appropriate for y...

multi colored capsule with L 5 marking, the 'L' side is red , the '5' side is sky blue, the center is grey ## I have two pills with the following number ID on them: G 32 and M 357. They are both pain pills I think. Can you identify them for me? ## The L5 from the orignal post is a generic or store brand of Tylenol Rapid Release containing 500mgs of Acetaminophen, a commonly used pain reliever and fever reducer. Gp46 are there any other markings on the G32 and what color is it? If it is an off-white or pinkish, it more than likely contains Naproxen Sodium, a generic for Naprosyn, but the dosage depends on the other numbers on the tablet, as they denote the milligrams it contains. M 357 contains 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, this is a generic for Vicodi...
