can you take trazodone and percocet together

You need to speak to your doctor and pharmacist to decide how the timeing of these two drugs can be arranged so they don't "potentiate" the effect of each other and create a dangerous situation.

Hi Dollface:

I am not a physician, but work with many, many chronic pain patients. Most of my patients are on some serious pain meds, including percocet, vicodin and even morphine. Most of them are also on trazodone, or Ambien for sleep. They are often given one or two antidepressants as well.

So, the short answer is, yes. You can mix these two according to the large number of my referring physicians. Percocet is a narcotic/analgesic/anti-fever medication and trazodone is a benzodiazepine that is used for its relaxing, tranquilizing and sleep effects. If you are taking them as directed, these medications in combination, when monitored by your prescribing doctor should be ok.

But ask your doctor this question. If you trust him, then trust his judgment. If not, find a doctor you do trust.

Best of Luck,

Dr. Diana Walcutt

Hi dollface,

Thank you for your question. If you are new to taking Percocet, it is quite possible that the Percocet will put you to sleep and you won't have any need for the Trazodone. However, if the Percocet isn't putting you to sleep, I would recommend speaking with either the doctor that prescribed the trazodone or the doctor that prescribed the Percocet and making sure that they think it's okay for you to be taking both together.

Best of luck,

I slammed my wang in my car door and have to take pain pills for that.

TRAZADONE IS NOT A BENZO!!!!!!! You're a doctor?
