Hydrocodone... what not to take with it. (Supplements)

[LaTunaNostra]

I love myself way too much to kill myself.

I'd guess so does Owens.

I took hydrocodone when I had my wisdom teeth removed and I was all jacked up. I remember starring at the TV for several hours wanting to change the channel but couldn't move so I just layed there watching static....I wish I had a publicist to change the tv for me

Here is what NOT to take (supplements) with Hydrocodone:

Corkwood, Jamaican Dogwood, Lavender, Mistletoe, Nettle, Pokeweed, Poppy, Senega, Valerian. All of these increase depression. Many supplements have a little bit of these in them.

Other interactions can increase sedation...such as alsohol, but I hear he doesn't drink.

The doctor SHOULD HAVE found out what supplements he does take.

He was probably taking 5-10 mg, every 4 hours as needed.

And yes, I do work in a hospital.

I will try a few of these with vicodin and report back whether it is worth the trouble.

It says right on the bag what you shouldn't take with it. Personal responsibility is a lost concept in this day and age.
Excuse me sir do you take Corkwood, Jamaican Dogwood, Lavender, Mistletoe, Nettle, Pokeweed, Poppy, Senega, or Valerian?
Also don't drink Alsohol or Alcohol for that matter.

Actually, it is the responsibility of the prescribing person to look over what medications could react with other medications that the patient is taking.

Supplements are becoming a real problem for people prescribing meds since it seems that everyone is taking something.

I would suspect the problem with suppliments is that many of the people who take them don't really know what they have in them, along with the idea of anything you take over the counter can't be dangerous.
