Hello

Thanks for the query

Here are the interactions I have found

Xanax and Hydrocodone can cause hypotension and difficulty in focussing, visual impairement and respiratory depression

Xanax and Restoril can increase drowsiness

Xanax and soma Can increase drowsiness and difficulty in focussing and dscision making

Hydrocodone and Restoril can cause severe hypotension and respiratory depression

I would like to point out that all effects might not be seen regularly especially in a patient who has been using them for several years. Please go back to your physician for dose adjustments


I hope I was of help
