Hello, I have taken my adhd medication adderall 30mg today about 5 hours ago, and hour a hour ago i took lorazepam .25mg (half of a .5mg pill) I have chronic lyme disease and I am in a lot of pain right now and i was wondering if it would be alright for me to take my pain medication pentazocine acetameniphen 25-650 even though I have taken adderall and lorazepam today
Hi, It is not safe to take these medications together. Taking opioid medications like pentazocine together with other medications that also cause central nervous system depression such as lorazepam can lead to serious side effects including respiratory distress, coma, and even death. Besides, there is also a high risk of a serious condition called serotonin syn Chat Doctor.  This may result in confusion, hallucinations, seizures, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, blurred vision, muscle spasm stiffness, tremor, incoordination, stomach cramp, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In its severe form, it may cause coma and even death. Ask your doctor to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use these medications. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
