Xanax and Hydrocodone

[Seeker1231]

I have been prescribed Xanax and Hydrocodone to cope with the pain of an upcoming medical procedure - my prescription says "as needed" but I only have 2 x 1mg of Xanax and 2 x 325mg acetominophen/ oxycodone pills so 4 pills total.

I'm thinking of taking all 4 (2 of each) simultaneously so I'm essentially "out of it" during the 5 minutes that the procedure will last - is this a safe dosage for an otherwise healthy adult male on no other meds ?

I second "Remars" suggestion: call your doctor's office. You won't be the first person to ask them your question, and their answer will give you much more comfort than some Internet Stranger.

Bad idea for many reasons. Please take as directed.

Check with your Dr before the procedure to see if this is safe. If you normally don't take either of these medications it may be too much at one time.
