Hello, all!
I take therapeutic doses of both hydrocodone and alprazolam, (the hyrdocodone is temporary until my cold-related cough goes away, the alprazolam is a regular medication, I take .5 - .75 mg daily, or sometimes every other day).
I've been trying to hold off on taking alprazolam while I've had severe coughing, but today I have had several panic attacks and couldn't continue with work without taking .25 alprazolam. I took this about 5 PM my time. As I write this, it's 8 PM, and I'm coughing pretty badly (always worse at night for me). I couldn't find any guidance on smaller doses of alprazolam with 5mg of hydrocodone, or how soon hydrocodone can be taken after alprazolam over the course of a day (if at all). So...is it safe to take .25 alprazolam and then take 5mg hydrocodone 4-5 hours later?
Just looking for some guidance on this. Afraid to call my pharmacist for obvious reasons (even though I've got current prescriptions for both). TIA.
