I need to get some sleep tonight. can i take 1 xanax, (alprazolam) 0.5 and 1 percocet to get a good nights sleep? thank you

Not recommended: It's always best to use medications as prescribed. Xanax (alprazolam) is addicting. So is Percocet (oxycodone + acetaminophen). Both can also cause confusion & increase risk of falls. When used together, risk increases dramatically. So does death rate. Talk to your Family Doc about your insomnia. Consider OTC options. Research sleep hygiene. And avoid sedative-hypnotics like Ambien (zolpidem).

Percocet: Is for pain and not a sleep aid. Xanax (alprazolam) may be helpful. If no contraindication Melatonin bought over the counter may help. All the best. Discuss your sleep needs with your doctor.

Talk to your doctor: This is not a safe combination and should never be used for sleep. Combining a narcotic analgesic with a benzodiazepine has led to countless deaths due to respiratory suppression. Please talk to your doctor about safer alternatives.

Not advisable.: Both drugs are highly addictive. Although their use can make you sleep because sedation is their side-effects, there are other drugs that are safer. At your age, you have to be more careful about using these medications. Ask your doctor to prescribe safer drugs such as Melatonin, Remelteon ,Remeron, Silenor or an OTC drug called Somnapure.
