Disclaimer: Friend, I'm not a doc, BUT...Yes, I have taken them together, just was tired and went to bed.

Yes, it's OK to take both in the prescribed dose and then head off to bed in case you get really sleepy.

well because I was parinoid I called the nurse line and she said that I shouldn't take the 2 together and to call the pharmisist and ask questions. So I finally after being on hold for over 20 min or so talked to him and he told me that I needed to wait 4 hrs after taking the lorazepam to take the vicoden at least he said 4-6 hrs. He said that it can cause you to breath slower besides being really tired. So now I have to deal with this crap for another 3 hrs. I want to fucking scream

i am sorry, i hope you feel better!!! i worry about medicine all the time, i understand how you feel...i always think i am going to have threatening side effects, it sucks. is there anything OTC that may help in the meantime?

but if I take something with tylonal then I have to wait another 4 hrs to take the vicoden. I think I am down to about 3 hrs to wait now. I don't have any IB here just tylonal.. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .. ouch is all I have to say

and I don't understand why there is still so much pain. I know that the drilled the wisdom tooth in 3 to take it out cuz it had 3 roots. But they didn't pull. They duggggggg and messed up my gums pretty bad and I have stitches. I had it done Wednesday about 2pm. I have had all my others removed and don't remember it hurting this much for so long...

Both vicodin (hyrdocodone and acetaminophen) and lorazepam (ativan) are both central nervous system depressants. It is not recommended to combine the two. Your best bet would be to consult with your physician before proceeding.

Please don't combine the two. Especially if you are taking other medication. The main concern is respiratory difficulty. As stated before, both of these medications are central nervous system depressants. What they have the tendency to do is cause you to stop breathing in the worst case scenario. Talk to your doctor. Advice from an internet forum does not a proper consultation make. The reason why the nurse stated not to take it if you have taken Tylenol is because that is what acetominophen is. Not good to take a double whammy. It can lead to other complications.

does ice help your mouth? or a wet tea bag? my dad swears by a wet tea bag stuck between gum and teeth...just be sure not to fall asleep with it in!

I would not recommend taking Ibuprofen either unless you have a medical consultation. Ibuprofen has a tendency to cause hepatic (liver) and gastric (stomach) destress not to mention bleeding tendencies. Especially if combined with other medications such as acetaminophen. PHEW! I feel like a drug book. LOL

lol.. Ok I will just wait the time even if it is killing me.. LOL my gosh I hate pain. I hate medication... errrrrrrrrrr. I hate the dentist. LOL

How about sitting in a darkened room and being quiet for awhile? This sometimes helps me when I am in pain and having anxiety issues. Also, an ice pack might not hurt on your cheek.
