How Long After Taking Vicodin Can I Begin Contravene

I had surgery and was given Valium as well as codeine for the pain. Only took codeine for a day or so and last time I took Valium was yesterday -- in total for less than a week. I am wanting to begin my contrave prescription but want to make sure there are no contraindications as I know Valium has quite a long half-life and am concerned about mixing chemicals in my body. Suggestions as to how long I need to wait before I start would be appreciated . Thanks

Hi Diana,

I'm a little confused as to whether the "Vicodin" in your title is a typo or not, because you go on to mention "Valium and Codeine" from that point forward with no other regard for Vicodin...?

According to The University of Maryland's drug interaction tool, there are no interactions between Valium and Contrave.

However, they do list interactions [between the following drug combinations - Vicodin and Contrave, Vicodin and Valium, Codeine and Vicodin, Codeine and Contrave, Codeine and Valium] when you plug in the drug names at:

umm.edu/health/medical/drug-interaction-tool

All of the interactions listed are reportedly considered to be of high probability in their occurrence.
