Is it okay to mix two different brands of Hydracodone pills, like say a 10mg watson and a 7.5 Mallinckrodt? ## Yes, the manufacturer isn't relevant to how the medications work, as long as they have the same active ingredients. It is the dosage that you have to be concerned about. The Hydrocodone is a narcotic, so taking too much of it can result in an overdose and too much of the Acetaminophen, in a 24 hour period, can be toxic. Side effects will also be more pronounced, if you take a higher dose of something, so you may experience: nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more: Are there any other questions?

I have a friend who is on Suboxone, and yet she has gone back to mixing it with other drugs. Is this dangerous? ## That is very dangerous go on its website it has a list of drugs not to mix it with it is very deadly if their the wrong ones escpecially benzos,like xanax valium et ## Suboxone contains the opiate Buprenorphine and the agonist Naloxone, which neutralizes other opiates if you mix them. The problem that occurs, is most people keep taking more and more of the other opiates, since they aren't feeling the effects, so in addition to the danger of interactions from the medications, they are risking an overdose. Most opiates and Benzodiazepines also cause respiratory depression, which can also be highly dangerous if they are abused together, since this will aggravate the side e...

What can happen if you take Seroquel and another prescription drug? Is it life treating? ## I have been taking seroquel for about 3 yrs now,I take other script meds with it,i have had no problems with anything i have took with it. ## It will actually depend on what other drugs you are taking, some drugs react badly and some don't. Your pharmacy usually checks this against your other prescriptions before filling your scrip for you. That is why you should never pharmacy hop, you should stick with the same pharmacy or pharmacy chain so everything you are taking is in the computer and they can check interactions of all of them. Also, if you post what else you are taking, I can run an interaction check for you and see if they are any adverse effects reported. ## Question to Verwon. Tegre...

I want to know. If I take a 30 mg morphine a 7.5 oxycodone and a hydocodo/acetamin 7.5 650 mg can give me a bad reaction or would I just feel pain relief? ## You could kill yourself by doing that, I DO NOT recommend it!!!!!!! Best plan is to get on a pain management schedule with just ONE of the drugs you mentioned since if you are on the right dosage you should feel proper pain relief. Hope this helps and good luck!

I take 10 mg hydrocodone daily. I binge drank Saturday night and have been sick in bed with a tremendous hangover for 3 days. Anyone else experienced this? ## Well, mixing alcohol with prescription drugs is NEVER a good idea, it can enhance the side effects and cause exactly what you're experiencing, especially with a narcotic such as Hydrocodone. It is possibly it's been caused by something else, but highly doubtful. Have you tried consulting your doctor? ## Vicodin is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Some people take Vicodin and drink alcohol to intensify the effect of the hydrocodone. Unfortunately, mixing alcohol and acetaminephin WILL lead to liver damage and eventual liver failure (cirrhosis), which is often fatal. There are warnings on Tylenol or ...

What are the side effects of mixing lyrica and fentanyl? ## Hello, Missa! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. The FDA classifies Lyrica as an anticonvulsant that is also approved to help with certain types of never pain and some mood disorders. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. Fentanyl is classifies as 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? ## Thank you. :-) ## Very welcome! Have a fabulous day and please let me kn...

sideaffects mixing aircept with detrol? ## side effects with aircept and detrol ## The reason you are told not to drink, while taking prescription medications, is due to the fact that it can aggravate the side effects, so you may experience more dizziness, drowsiness and nausea, than usual. This could make one drink the same as drinking two and so on. Generally, the Aricept and Detrol should not be prescribed and used together, because they tend to negate each others effects on the body. Has your doctor instructed you to use both? If they do so, they have to very carefully adjust the dosages of both medications.

Has anyone ever experienced a problem mixing avelox and champex together ## Hi Paul, There is no known interactions between these drugs, but that does not mean that there are not any, only that it may just never have been tested, or that there are not enough studies to determine whether or not there is an interaction. However, just taking Avelox with or without any other drugs can lead to a whole host of problems that you can learn about by going to the Avelox Side Effects page. The multitude of reports of severe and even disabling side effects may encourage you to ask your doctor if there are any alternate drugs that you can substitute for the Avelox. These drugs are dangerous drugs that should only be reserved for life threatening infections.

He also takes Vivactil and Ritalin. He feels jittery, tired and nausated. Please help. ## Speaking from personal experience... Ritalin and Provigil didn't mix for me. Granted that was Provigil.

what would these pills do when mixed ## From what I could gather, there is a "moderate" interaction between Zolpidem & Gabapentin. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of when mixing these two drugs: "Using zolpidem together with gabapentin may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor." ...

These are both opiates, but is there any specific difficulties in mixing these two meds? ## There are actually interactions found between Morphine and Opana. Specifically related to the central nervous system: "Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression." Also to note, Morphine interacts with alcohol in a somewhat similar manner: "The central nervous system-depressant effects of morphine and alcohol may be additive. The combination may result in additive CNS-depression ...

My husband has a 100 degree temp. can we take tylenol w/this drug. It is Sun. cannot call hotline or doc. ## Sutent contains the active ingredient Sunitinib, this is used to treat several forms of cancer and tumors. That said, I would not suggest mixing in other drugs, without first speakng to his doctor or pharmacist. This drug can cause some side effects, such as: nausea, diarrhea, anorexia and janudice. His doctor is going to want to make sure what is causing his temperature, before he treats it. It could be related to his medical condition or something entirely different. Is there anything else I can help you with?

1. Limit yourself to one pharmacy and one prescriber of any narcotic. If you have another Dr. That's OK with you staying with another, I suggest you mention the drug or at least be honest about your mixing medicines and prescibers. Most will check you for polydrug use. If you break the covenant about getting controlled drugs from many sources chances as they will drop you as a patient. Also, the RPh may alert the staff of your dishonesty. Always give 24 hours notice at least on refill requests. The problem is with obtaining over the maximum allowable amount of controlled Rx's is the possibility of divertion or addiction and before you know it, your consumption no longer controls your cause of pain. The pain killers may mask the reason you have tbe distress and pain. Then, you have

I took a pill lisinopril then took a sulfanethoxazole and an ibuprofen that is white and says I8 on it. I passed out and dont rememenber is that normal if you mix them thee drugs together for that to happen? Just worried me ## The relevant question is, did you actually pass out, or did you just get drowsy, lay down and go to sleep? If it is the former, then you should refrain from mixing them in the future, until you consult your doctor. If it was the latter, then getting drowsy and falling asleep from the combo is possible, because they can all cause drowsiness, as a side effect. ## I got prescribed smz/tmp. I do take lisinoprial for high blood pressure. I took one of each pill today should I be concerned ?

I take Warfarin due to a history of DVTs, and I also suffer from depression and pretty significant anxiety (GAD). After trying other meds that didn't work, my Dr prescribed Cymbalta. Rxlist indicates a moderate interaction risk, and I saw one message board where people were sharing horror stories about mixing these meds, but the pharmacist said they're safe to use together. Does anyone here have experience with these drugs together? Did they do okay or were there problems? TIA ## Hello, My3sons! How are you? I haven't taken either one, but I can provide you information on the possible interaction. Taking them together could actually result in your needing a lower dose of Warfarin, because the Cymbalta tends to increase the levels of it. Other side effects for Cymbalta, as li...

Not seein doc for weeks pain getting worse just tryin different pain drugs ## Hello, Shaz! How are you? And yes, all drugs have the potential to do harm, if used improperly. Lorazepam is not a pain medication, it is a benzodiazepine that's used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Learn more Lorazepam details here. And Fentanyl is a very potent narcotic analgesic that's over 80 times stronger than Morphine. Learn more Fentanyl details here. Both of these drugs have the potential to be addictive and taking too much of them could cause a fatal overdose. Why don't you see your doctor sooner, if you can? ## Please be careful mixing medications. As we get older our body does not process medications the same. Especially with narcotics. Please contact a pharmacist they are Docto...
