Can I Take Norco and Methadone Together?

Question by Loneranget: can i take norco and methadone together?
my doctor just started giving me methadone 10mg…3 xday
in addition to norco 10mg…5 xday … i’ve been taking norco increasingly for years for chronic back pain
when i wake up in the morning i’m hurting so bad it’s hard to wait for the methadone to start working so can i take 1 of each at the same time?
i take the methadone at 9am…2pm….7pm
if i wake up before 9am no problem but sometimes i wake up at 9 in bad pain…
thank you for any of your thoughts or experiences

Answer by Kate D
when you take the methadone, how does it effect you and when you take the norco, how does it effect you? does either one make you sleepy?
if no, sure, take them both – thats fine. if you take one or the other and they make you sleep for a few hours, then dont take them at the same time.

thats your main worry when you start mixing narcotics – making you so sleepy that you lose your respiratory drive. but if you are functional on each of them, you should be more than fine.

I think you’ll be fine my doc had me on methodone 10 mg 2x a day along with two 5 mg percocets 4 times a day, it was fine, so yes you can take them. Good luck with your pain!!!
