GET HELP: Are you serious? Or are you depressed, frustrated, or exhausted? Your plan of action will likely hurt your liver and likely provide an additive sedative effect, but may actually activate seizure activity. Rather than designing your own sleep cocktail, would strongly urge discussion with your doctor, and even get an overnight sleep study. Do NOT mix all this stuff, risk is sky high!!!

Bad cocktail: This sounds like a really bad mixture of medications. The point is that you want to be able to wake up after you go to sleep - this cocktail may be dangerous. It is best to see your doctor for guidance as to what medications may work for you - and discuss why you are having trouble sleeping.

YES - DANGEROUS!: This is way too much medication to take all at once, and could put you in grave danger - including potential liver/kidney damage, or worse - death. If you are having trouble sleeping, then talk to your doctor about this, and they can work on establishing an effective treatment plan. Work on your stress factors. Eliminate caffeinated beverages before bed. Best wishes.
