If you've been taking Suboxone for about a month and then while skateboarding you broke your ankle is it safe to take Lortab which the doc at the hospital prescribed?

my mom is a nurse so in this case i know quite a bit about medicine, and as far as i know, loratabs are for depression. i would definitely not take those and try to skate or anything like that

The Lortabs I've been taking have been 10mg Hydrocodone pills mixed with APAP. If you take them while on Suboxone, either the analgesic (pain relieving) effects will be lost, or you will become sick much like during withdrawal. If you are going to use opiates, stop taking your Suboxone for a day or two prior.

WOW - Here is a correction.

Lortabs are not for depression... They are for moderate to severe pain.

Some opiate addicts might tell you that they are not depressed when taking them though but please realize that opiates are not used to treat depression.

Try a tri-cyclic or SSRI (selective seratonin reuptake inhibitor) for depression such as prozac, zoloft or even cymbalta.
