Suggest Alternatives For Lorazepam, Which Can Be Taken Along With Hydrocodone

My husband takes Loazepam at night as a sleep aid. He can no longer get his Lorazepam because he takes hydrocodone and his doctor cannot write both. He wants to know how he can come off Lorazepam and what he can take instead. His job is dangerous and he needs sleep.

Hi,

He can try newer drugs like zolpidem which is quite effective and side effects are minimal. You can take zolpidem while you are on hydrocodone also. “zolefresh” is a popular brand and it is available worldwide.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
