Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Mixing Norco (hydrocodone/APA) with Valium (diazepam) can indeed have adverse effects in your age group. It is certainly possible to take these together, and they each have important indications for treatment. However, they can both be sedating, and when taken together can increase risk of falls in persons over the age of 65. These medications can also increase the risk of delirium in this age group. I would advise avoiding benzodiazepines like Valium altogether, and seeking out other alternatives. If you are interested in a complete consultation, please write to me at my private link below.
