Can Hydrocodone And Lorazepam Be Taken Together For Migraines?

I am 70 years old and have been taking Hydrocodone 5-325 (2 or 2.5 tablets daily) for migraine headaches which I've had for almost 60 years. In addition, I take 1.5 gram of Lorezepam at bedtime. My pharmacist believes this is reasonable. Do you? Is there another idea that you have?

Hi there. Thanks for consulting. One of the problems of the 2 medications toghether can be oversedation which can lead to things like falls etc. Since you are 70 yrs old I would recommend monitoring this as sedation might be a problem and falls should be prevented.
