A member asked:
Insomnia causing migraines to act up i got botox injections yesterday, is it safe to combine ambien (zolpidem) xanex and klonopin to try and get good night sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad idea: Mixing these medications increase sedation and drowsiness. Combination of these 3 drugs increases risk of CNS (central nervous system) depression, possible breathing crisis and death. See sleep disorders specialist (neurologist) for evaluation, diagnosis and proper treatment. Be safe and call your doctor.
