A member asked:

Suffer from ms use valium for spasms and hydrocodone for severe pain as needed. can i take both together??

Yes: They can be taken together but remember the sedative effects can be more pronounced and this would increase with increasing dose. Do not take more than the prescribed dose of any medication. Avoid use of alcohol or combining other medications.

Yes, but: The two together will cause additive sedation, dizziness, and could cloud your sensorium and judgement. If your spasms are due to spasticity, baclofen, or tizanidine might work better, and Botox could be considered. If your spams are due to neuronal short circuiting, an anti-epileptic drug might be used. Have you been assured by your neurologist of the cause of your spasms??
