A member asked:

Can taking percocet at night help me sleep with no pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not advised: Percocet is given short-term for pain. It contains oxycodone, an opiate/narcotic that is highly addictive. Suggest you see your pcp to find out why you may have insomnia. Best wishes.
