Can I Take Lortab And Lunesta Together?

Posted on Tue, 4 Jan 2022

Question: I am having numbness and bad pain in my hand and wrist. I have left over lortab 10mg from a dental procedure. I am also prescribed amitriptyline and Lunesta to take at night for restless leg syndrome and sleep issues. the past few nights I couldn't sleep because I was in so much pain but it was afraid to take the Lortab on top of the Lunesta for sure. My question is am I able to take the two together? my Dr. it's really starting to make me judge his care. because he tried to tell me there is no magic pill to fix everything even though I know this because I work in the health field as well. I don't feel comfortable going to him with problems anymore that's why I am on here asking questions
