can you take hydrocodone and ibuprohen at the same time

[Businessman1]

Yes. There is actually a pill called Vicoprofen which is hydrocodone and ibuprofen together.

Typically, hydrocodone is mixed with Acetaminophen which can also be mixed with ibuprofen.

[Robert_325]

I wouldn't go with the vicoprofen. I would use the ibuprofen as much as possible and only take the hydro when absolutely necessary. No reason to take vics with each dose of ibuprofen. God bless.

Yes ibuprofen works very well when mixed with hydrocodone. As long as you dont overdue the hydrocodone you'll be fine. The problem with alot of people is that they abuse the pain medication for no reason. They take it to get high and not to kill pain. This makes me mad. I have rhematoid arthritus and because of so many people abusing pain meds and becoming addicted my doctor no longer prescribes me oxycontin. He has switched me to methadone.It's not right. It has gotten to be a major problem. And then people wanna blame the drug instead of themselves. There's no reason anybody should get hooked on hydrocodone unless there abusing it. When taken as directed they're shouldn't be a problem.

I like to add to that. People need to stop blaming other people and just accept the fact that it's your own damn fault for becoming an addict. It's not the pharmaceutical companies or the doctors or the drug dealers. Unless somebody has been slippin you drugs without your knowledge, then it's your own damn fault. When somebody is supposed to take 1-2 tabs every 4-6 hours and they start out at triple the dose and pop 5 and 6 at a time, then no wonder your addicted. If you cant take the correct dose, then you have no reason taking drugs. Stop blaming other people and start with yourselves.

Just wanted to say that I'm sorry that you got hooked on Methadone. I know thats a tough one to get off of due to the really long half life. There are alot of people on this forum. that have gotten off methadone and all opiates and now deal with their pain non narcotically. Good luck and let us know if we can help.

Methadone has saved my life. It helps me get threw the day without the cravings. I have a medical condition that causes me a great deal of pain and it really helps the pain as well. It has saved my life. I know alot of yous dont like us but were not so baD. I think alcoholics are alot worse. My dad was an alcoholic and still is and that is the worst drug there is.

My point is that it's not "most peoples own damn fault for becoming an addict. " You see , you are one also. Most people on here had an original medical condition and started using meds to cope with the pain . If you are using methadone to help with the cravings as well than you must know what I am talking about, as your previous Dr. must of prescribed narcotics. You become dependent/addicted even when your taking them for the 'right' reason. As far as us not liking you, why would't we ? You are like us in many ways except you spew your venom and cast judgement upon people that are trying to take care of the same problem that you have. You should also educate yourself on alcoholism -I don't know where you get your rating scale on which addict is the worst. I am very sorry you had problems with your father, mine was the same way.

[brndout]

Wow, I guess your even more like us than I thought. I saw on the other thread you giving induction advice on Subutex. May I ask as to why your back on methadone? Precipitated W/D? There are people who can help you do it correctly if you'd like to get off of the Methadone.

I also have rheumatoid arthritis, secondary raynaud's phenomenon, antiphospholipid syndrome (all three painful autoimmune diseases), have had five knee operations and other surgeries from injury, have degenerative disc disease, congenital scoliosis and the list goes on. I understand about pain very well.

My drs prescribed meds for me and I did take them as prescribed. I still became physically dependent on the medication. When you're being prescribed a ton of pain meds whether it's for a legitimate condition or not, you will become dependent/addicted to them over a period of time. Doesn't matter if you take them as prescribed or not.

Saying you won't get addicted to hydrocodone unless you're abusing it is wrong and I resent you telling me why I became dependent on my medications. You know nothing about me or why I became dependent on RX pain meds. So refrain from judging me and others and how we have taken our pain medication as if you are the only person with a legitimate need for meds and we are just a bunch of dope heads. Get a grip dude you aren't the only person on the planet with real pain. God bless.

You are correct. I have fibromyalgia and RA both. I have been on Vicodin and now am on Ultram. I didnt ever take these drugs because I wanted to, it was to have a good quality of life, be pain free hopefully and go to work and take care of my family. Im sorry, but other drugs are addictive too, such as Prednisone, which I have to stay on also because of my immune system. Just because this isnt a pain killler, I still cant go off of this, it would kill me. Being on pills was not a life long dream of mine, nor having painful diseases, it just happens. I dont care what people think, theres my shoes if you want to walk in them for just one day, go ahead.

Methadonfriendly826,
I hope your pain is the reason you have gotton on this message board with such a bad attitude! It is not our fault that your doctor took you off oxycontin, maybe you are missing it too much? I read alot of posts on here,and was not going to join in and comment, until I read your post. It was the first one that I saw that was harsh, unhelpful, and quite frankly, ingnorant. I do hope that you get some help. This message board has already helped me a lot.

[melinda7.5]

Hi sweetpea
Most of us on this forum and good people just trying to help each other,I'm Glad that you joined and have received some help.
just take the good and leave the bad...
I just wanted to say hi and welcome
Talk to you later, Melinda

What a stupid thing to say! Who are you to judge ppl when you obviously have your own addictions as well. Most of us are here to help each other and to get help ourselves. There are millions of ppl in this world who have addictions and yes, some of them get dependant on their own but there are so many more of us who are prescribed pain meds and follow the dosage but get hooked anyway. Congratulations to all of you who are getting help and to you Ms. Methadonfriendly....get some help!!! Good luck to you and God Bless
