A member asked:

I'm on prednisolone and allegra (fexofenadine) for a severe allergy attack (hives, itching, swollen eyes) can i safely take valium to help me relax and sleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Sometimes prednisolone and other steroid products can cause insomnia or restless sleep. While allegra (fexofenadine) is an antihistamine and has a potential for drowsiness , it is of low potential. It is ok to take valium at night but I would not do it indefinitely because can be habit forming.
