i take ativan 2 mg to help me sleep. have been experiencing severe back pain and would like to take 10 mg of norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen). is it safe to take together?

Question

Can you take norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 5-325 with ativan?

Answer 1

Not safe.: Using Lorazepam that is ativan together with Hydrocodone that is norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should tell your doctor about all other medications you use and get approval of your doctor.

Answer 2

Be careful: you can technically take them together. However there will be an additive drowsiness effect and may be sleeping longer than you desire.

Answer 3

Call your doc: Could be viral, bacterial, other. History of travel, unsavory food intake, bleeding, sick contacts, other meds or medical conditions, antibiotic use in the last 2-3 months. Large volume or small volume diarrhea? Could even be inflammatory stuff like diverticulitis, appendicitis, etc. Risk dehydration, even with oral rehydration fluid like pedialyte (otc) call your doc.

Answer 4

Many possibilities: If a yeast infection is causing the burning, Monistat cures many but not all yeast infections, another med may be needed. Urine culture can identify bladder infection. Spasm of muscles in the pelvis especially the tiny muscles around the urethra can cause burning. Skin infection other than yeast, including herpes can have subtle signs but cause significant burning.

Answer 5

Psoas muscle sprain?: If all the workup you mentioned was negative, and they were done with the appropriate contrast, you may have a psoas muscle sprain. Consider an osteopathic and/or chiropractic evaluation. Also may be scarring/ recurrence from/of your old hernia repair, which will not show up on imaging.

Answer 6

Sports hernia: A fairly unrecognized cause of groin pain in athletic individuals is a sports hernia, also known as athletic pubalgia. This involves a partial tear of the end of the abdominal muscles (rectus femoris), conjoined tendon, transversalis fascia, etc. A sports hernia is clinical diagnosis, and often, no tests demonstrate it. Many also have advanced tendonitis of the adductors (groin tendons) as well.

Answer 7

Alternatives.: There are some non-steroidal anti-inflammatories other than Ibuprofen that work on slightly different pathways in the body, but if you've had a strong allergic reaction to one, chances are you'll have a reaction to another. There's always prednisone, which is a steroid, and if used appropriately could give you some relief. You should have a talk with your doc about the full risks and benefits.

Answer 8

Urologist: It sounds like you are having urinary frequency, but not necessarily incontinence. The first thing should be a full evaluation by a urologist and I am sure that he will perform urodynamic tests. Additionally an evaluation by a neurologist may also be necessary accompanied by an EMG & ncs.

Answer 9

See a urologist: See a urologist for an evaluation as this is also conmon in girls with age especially after having kids

Answer 10

Not likely: It is not likely that having a lumbar fusion in and of itself would cause urinary frequency. There are many potential causes. Seeing a urologist, who might perform a test called a voiding cystometregram, can usually determine the cause. Thank you for your question.
