Psychiatrist,  's  Response
I would advice against taking Vicotin with Lorazepam. You can take XXX 0.5 mg with XXXXXX 0.5mg for sleep. AVOID Vicotin by all means. You can take Phenergan since your doctor prescribed it, its safe.

Vicotin is combination of the narcotic hydrocodone and non-narcotic pain reliever acetaminophen. It is used for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain.

The most frequent adverse reactions of Vicodin include lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea, and vomiting. Other side effects include drowsiness, constipation, and spasm of the ureter, which can lead to difficulty in urinating. Hydrocodone can impair thinking and the physical abilities required for driving or operating machinery. Hydrocodone can depress breathing, and should be used with caution in elderly, debilitated patients, and in patients with serious lung disease. Vicodin may be habit forming.
