Can Hydrocodone Or Motrin Cause Sleep Disorder?

I broke two vertebrae in my neck sixweeks ago and have been on hydrocodone since then. At present I have been taking a half of a 5 mg pill twice a day. I also take motrin 10 200 mg pills per 24 hours. Could this be causing me to not sleep well and should I be completely off in tthe next week or so.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

* The hydrocodone and motrin, both would be relieving pain to variable degree and extent, but neither of them is meant to help to induce sleep.

* For the calm sleep , you have to get prescription of either of the following as

- alprazolam

- clonazepam

- lorazepam or

- melatonin from your primary care physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
