Prescribed 16 days prednisolone for lower back pain/inflammation tapering (20 ml-5ml). on day 2 @10ml. ok to take xanax (alprazolam) in day & valium to sleep?

Steroids: Would keep you awake, avoid taking them in late afternoon or evening unless prescribed to do so, as for the xanax (alprazolam) and Valium, use only one as prescribed, please don't combine, would lead to CNS depression and psychomotor impairment
