Yes, however...: Benzodiazepines like xanax (alprazolam) and opioids like vicodin can interact causing increased sedation and you ought to be careful regarding addiction and overdose, please consult with your psychiatrist, pcp, and/or pain specialist.

Xanax (alprazolam): Xanax (alprazolam) is found in most accidental overdosing deaths. If both drugs have been prescribed by the same physician then good judgement is the rule. I would separate dosage by 4 hrs. If you have borrowed either of these medicines you are gambling with your life!

Don't do it: I wouldn't suggest taking either medication, particularly in the long term. Xanax (alprazolam) and vicodin are short acting and both encourages abuse as a result. People also build up a tolerance and feel they need more medication to get the same results. Try deep breathing to relieve our anxiety and go see a psychiatrist or therapist.
