I had never heard that hydro could keep you up, it makes me tired usally, but that just might be the Xanax (but Xanax alone makes me far from tired).
I take Hydro and Xanax (2mg). (I find those to be amazing muscle relaxers for me - I have fibromyalgia and my muscles feel like painful ROCKS - whereas for me, stuff like Skelaxin and Soma are like taking placebos, so for those of you that those meds work for, I envy you!)
I find that the non-compounded hydrocodone, and especially oxycodone when I'm on that, make me feel "energetic" - but having recently switched to 15/80's from United, when I'm in really bad pain I have to take 2 at once at times, and I end up "nodding out" when I never did before on hydro EVER! I can be cross-stitching, reading, whatever, and suddenly find myself with my eyes closed and fighting off sleep and struggling to keep my eyes open! I just don't get it - if it 's the same med, why would one make me "alert" and another sleepy?
I used to never get sleepy on Xanax (I have a high tolerance from taking them on and off for 20 years or so) but *did* find I got a good night's sleep at the end of the day...
but that seems to have changed since getting the compounded hydros. Now I'm sleepy way too much, but at least I have relief most of the time from my intense pain (thank God for that.) Guess it depends on an individual's system.
Anybody else find the compounds make them sleepy, whereas the regular pill form like Norco or Vicodin HP (Watson brands) *don't*??
Take care all, and may you all find the relief you need....
