A member asked:
I took 10 mg of oxycodone and 0.5 mg of lorazepam, both prescribed after recent open heart surgery. are the doses small enough that i need not worry?

Opiatebenzodiazepine: temporary use as prescribed for the immediate post operative pain is okay. Longer term use causes habituation and tachyphylaxis,there is some recent data suggesting heightend risk of cognitive decline (dementia) in those who have used benzodiazepines; so be careful and use sparingly
