Can You Mix Norco and Xanax?
According to medical experts, using narcotic pain or cough medications together with other medications that also cause central nervous system depression can lead to serious side effects including respiratory distress, coma, and even death. It is important to talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. It is also important not to drink alcohol or self-medicate with these medications without your doctor’s approval, and not to exceed the doses or frequency and duration of use prescribed by your doctor. Because these medications may cause dizziness, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in judgment, reaction speed and motor coordination, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how they affect you.
While some individuals have reported taking Norco and Xanax together without any issues, it is important to note that everyone is different and the combination can be lethal if not taken properly. It is always best to consult with a medical professional before taking any medications together.
