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.

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
