Yes, same doctor prescribed both meds . I have Transverse Myelitis or inflammation of the spinal cord and the nerve pain is savage. The condition is exceedingly rare so there is no treatment or cure. The hydrocodone helps the burning and the clonazepam stops the electric spasms , sparks, and shocks. From butt to toes, it is torture 24/7. I need these meds to keep living. I've googled and can't find an answer as to why all of a sudden people are stopping breathing. I have taken them together for 8yrs with zero breathing issues. There has to be quantity involved in these deaths . Taking too much .
Your doctor is lying. The reason is below. Opioids and benzos have been prescribed together for decades.
"Research demonstrates that PDMP risk scoring coerces clinicians to force medication tapering, discontinue prescriptions, and even abandon patients without regard for the catastrophic collateral consequences that attend to those treatment decisions."Your doctor is lying. The reason is below. Opioids and benzos have been prescribed together for decades.
NarxCare PDMP. Was designed by the law enforcement without any medical professional input . It ranks ppl as likely drug addicts based on combos of meds taken, race,income, address, age, sex, number of different oharmacies used and a bunch of other things and takes zero consideration of your disease.
Your doctor or state likely looked up your score. If you are prescribed benzos and opioids you are automatically classed as a drug addict. Adderral or antidepressants also worsen your addict score

We don’t have to imagine it we live that shit in America…the "free country"
Until the DEA walks into his office with guns drawn at nurses and threatens him with life in prison. He’ll drop you in a millisecond.
Seems like there's also Canada's version of prescription drug monitoring programs in which clinicians share data with law enforcement; but I guess they're not as anal as the US's DEA.
In Florida there is a numerical score according to my mother and her doctor gave it to her with a big lecture even though she had been on Valium then Xanax only for 40 years straight. She had the lowest score possible she said(not an addict) …but she is an addict and mixed it with alcohols and gets plastered. She’s in complete denial though and has never said the words "I’m an addict" in all the years. She overdosed on it once in a sense too where an ambulance had to be called because nobody could wake her up
That's true, drug combinations it's not like a drug + b drug. It exponentially adds up to the effect like a^b, that's y combining drugs it's so dangerous. Always b careful.
Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, same doctor prescribes both and has since 1997. I took clonazepam for panic disorder and the hydros for rheumatoid arthritis in my hands that was affecting my ability to do my job. 6 hydros per 24hr period and 1 clonazepam at bedtime. Never a problem. Sometimes I take them together but not always. Doctor had no answer to the question, why after all these years?? He would only say that a woman had recently died from the combo. I asked if she had respiratory issues or did she abuse them? He said she was stable. Wtf does that mean? Since my condition is rare and causes savage electric burning and nerve pain, he agreed to let me keep my 1mg clonazepam and my 6 norco. I still believe that the people who died were taking too much. Anyway, I'm relieved he let me keep what I've had.
So basickly they stigamtize you. Its just the stamp on your fore head that's missing.
Now that makes me sick.
That's moreso for people who doctor shop, don't work well though cause i had 4 doctors prescribe me meds at the same time for years
Your doc is a shook, weak little b@tch who is now scared of the FDA or Health Canada stripping him or her of their license and or if you die as a result of this
