A member asked:
Could you drink alcohol after taking hydrocodone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In a word NO!: whenever you are prescribed any scheduled drug especially narcotics and even benzodiazepines you should NEVER drink any alcohol. Alcohol can potentiate the effects of the narcotic causing respiratory depression at a lower dose. You should never drive under the influence of either of these. You are a set up for an fatal accident and even without an accident u will get a DUI
