A member asked:

Is it a bad idea to take sleeping pills and promethazine at the same time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Tell your doctor you have both medications to take for different reasons. They both cause sleepiness, so the dose of one or both may need to be adjusted. It may not be a bad thing to take them both, but your doctor should help you.
