Hello, Butterfly! How are you? I am very sorry that you're in pain.

Yes, you can do so, as long as your doctor approves. They are often prescribed together to try to gain better pain control.

The FDA classifies these medication as narcotic analgesics, so they may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
