OK, so I am on.. a few medicines that are contradicted or have warnings about.
Also, my doctor has increased my dose to the
Norco dosage brand, so here is the current medication I take together, every morning that I'm worried about
:
Hydrocodone/APAP (Norco) 7.5/325 x2-3 PO Q6h For Pain. (started this yesterday)
Budeprion XL (generic
Wellbutrin XL) 450 MG XL PO Q24h For Major Depression. (also new, starting this tommorrow or next day) Dose raised from 300 MG XL.
I read that these medications, opiates and Wellbutrin type stimulant, will DECREASE the seizure threshold. Also I read that benzodiazepines. Which
Ativan (Lorazepam), I take as needed every 6 hours 1MG, but only take it maybe once or twice a day, not every 6 hours.
Major question: Will all these changes in medication, and upping the dosage on the Norco and Wellbutrin, I've been taking for a long time, cause a SEIZURE?
I read these ALL lower the seizure threshold dramatically. I'm kinda scared about, kind of not, because I'm very opioid tolerant, and getting tolerant to the Wellbutrin, as well. My doctor increased the Wellbutrin to try to counteract the sedation side effects this Norco gives me now.
Help appreciated, and or opinions. Thank you.
