Can you take Ambien and Vicodin together? |
Why it's so important to manage your cholesterol levels.
Yes you can take these 2 but limit your dosage. I take 10mg vicdins 4 xs a day as prescribed and also a 10mg ambien at night for sleeping and have never had a problem. I am prescribed both by my DR. so it limited doses under doctors supervision u can.
Answer
NO you CANNOT mix these two drugs!
VICODIN IS A NARCOTIC PAIN reliever, not one of the strongest, but it is a CNS (central nervous system) depressant. As far as the sleeping pill- it makes a difference if it is a barbiturate (Halcion, Chloral hydrate, which are also CNS depressants) OR a hypnotic (Ambien, Rozeram) which are not CNS depressants. You need to be VERY careful if you combine two drugs that are both CNS depressants. You should ask your doctor OR call ANY pharmacy and ask to speak to a pharmacist. Give them the names of the medications and dosages, and they will tell you if there is a problem, (called a DRUG/DRUG INTERACTION). Many times pharmacists have more up to date, accurate information about drugs that CAN be taken together V.S. drugs that can NOT be taken together
