A member asked:

I have colon cancer . on my second round of chemo. i have a severe crick in my neck ibro is not working can i take ambien (zolpidem) for sleep and oxy for pain?

Medications: It depends on what your usual regimen of medications are and what strength of oxycodone you are using. So if you regularly take ambien (zolpidem) and oxycodone there should be no problem. I would take the lowest dose of each medication and check with your personal doctor or covering doctor on call to make sure.
