Is it acceptable to take methadone and hydrocodene at the same time for long term pain control?

barbcambpbell, if its your pcp thats giving both meds, they know the safety issues on it. now if your taking one medication from the dr, and the other from someone or another dr who dont know what your on. it could be fatal. ask more questions and try and read more questions and the answers here on dc and you may get more answers. hope i was able to help

Although it depends on the dosage, taking methadone for pain control and hydrocodone for breakthrough pain is ok. But as helpmehawaii said, it is bes to do this under docs supervision so you don't take too much.
