Valium And Oxycodone Together

Updated

I'm on oxycodone and ativan, but the ativan doesn't work with my anxiety. I had back surgery and I had cement put in. I broke 3 vertebrates. Is it safe to ask my doctor to put me on the valium with the oxycodone? When I was in the hospital that's what they were giving me. Even when I left, the valium seemed to help more with relaxing my back and dealing with panic disorder and my anxiety. But my question is, are those two safe to take together?

Valium is also a benzodiazepine, just like the Ativan, so it will work very similarly for most people.

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability.

Are these the only medications you are currently taking?

Sassy,
Once your Fracture is healedyour prescriber will most likely attempt to eliminate both narcotics so it may be wise to limit the use of both agents when at all possible . Both Ativan and Valium belong to the benzodiazepine family of drugs so the work in a similar fashion. Valium seems to be far more effective as a muscle relaxant but Ativan has more of a sedative effect that lasts longer then Valium traditionally.Of course every patient responds differently Doctors seem to be less likely to prescribe Valium on an out patient basis because of its addiction liability. Asking for this Rx particularly once Ativan has been prescribed may lead the doctor to question the legitimacy of need. Just a thought with all of the fear of diversion of these controlled dangerous substances most doctors opt for non narcotic muscle relaxants after the initial trauma period. Best of luck to you.
