Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern.
Carbamazepine (Tegretol) with Baclofen is the standard treatment
Tegretol should not be taken along with Norco (Hydrocodone &
acetaminophen) because:
1. Tegretol is a potent liver enzyme inducer, it increases the breakdown and thus reducing the blood levels of Hydrocodone thus reducing its efficacy in relieving the pain.
2. Additionally, if you have been receiving treatment with Hydrocodone along with Tegretol may cause you to experience unpleasant
withdrawal symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, yawning,
excessive sweating, goose bumps, fever, chills, flushing,
restlessness, irritability, anxiety, depression, pupil dilation, tremor, rapid heart beat, body aches, involuntary twitching and kicking, abdominal cramping, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss.
3. If you have been receiving both medications, discontinuing Tegretol may increase the blood levels of Hydrocodone, which could lead to an overdose.
In view of the above, I would advise you to consult a neurologist/physician
to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications.
Hope these answer your query.
A feedback is appreciated.
