Welcome to AN! What are your thoughts on why these drugs may be ordered in conjunction with narcotics? What side effects can each drug have and treat?

Ha! I TOTALLY misread the question. I thought promethazine / diphenhydramine were being ordered via PCA. Seriously, RoseQueen is pointing you in the right direction. Welcome.
