can i take 1 7.5 mg vicodine for pain then 3 to 4 hrs later take 1 soma to help me sleep or will i not wake up

Answer 1

This should not be a problem, assuming that you are generally in good health, and are not taking any other medications other than these.

Answer 2

Yes, it should be fine.

BUT - Be careful about how much Vicodin you use. It all has Tylenol in it and your liver can only take so much of it before it gives out. You can take the Soma up to 3 times daily as a muscle relaxant and the Vicodin 7.5/325 3-4 times daily with no harm to your body. Good luck.

Answer 3

It would be ok. I give more meds than that at the nursing home i work at. Just watch on how much vicodine you take cause it has tylenol. You should not exceed no more than 4000 mg of tylenol in 24 hours, from any source

Answer 4

It is perfectly safe to take these two meds together. I am prescribed both for low back pain. Vicodin is a pain killer and soma is a muscle relaxer.

Answer 5

The Pain pill is a narcotic so be careful about alcohol or sleep meds that slow down the CNS (Centr Nervous System). This can be dangerous. Go to Med.com or some other pill site to look it up or ask a Doctor or Pharmacist.

Answer 6

I do not do prescriptions. If your pain is coming from muscles a good reference is The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
Natural muscle relaxers contain magnisium and potassium - bananas and molasses are 2 of them.
A chiropractor and massage therapist have helped me.

Answer 7

These medications are quite commonly prescribed together. You could even take thema t the same time if you wanted, just do not exceed the dosage on the bottles.

Answer 8

Never combine sleep and pain medication.

Answer 9

ah, better not take advise from YA on such a critical subject.

Answer 10

ASK A NURSE call the er call a PHARMACIST
NEVER ASK About MEDS ON THE INTERNET.
