Question
what would happen if you take vicoden and cough syurp with codein and baclofen (mussle relaxor) and levetiracetam all together?
Hi Elaine,
I would always suggest to be careful when mixing substances. In particular, these substances can have a cumulative central nervous system effect (i.e: slow down your breathing), so you would be at risk of overdose. I wouldn't recommend taking all of those tablets at once, just in case. But if you must, do it with someone who isn't planning on being too drug affected, so that they can support you if needed.
I hope that helps,
Take care, and whatever you do, do it safely.
