Question: Is it okay for me to take a xanax once in a while at night time if i cant get to sleep.?
Some nights i just cant get to sleep. My mind is still racing. I dont sleep late. I work everyday. Wake up at 9am. But some nights it takes me forever to fall asleep. and i find that if i take a peice of xanax at night before bed i have such a better time getting to sleep and waking up feeling more refreshed. I dont have any depression tho. Is it okay if i do that occasionally.?.?.?.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I wouldn't do it. Xanax is a very addictive drug, i know. It was prescribed to me for anxiety and i would take it at nighttime when i would start to unwind b/c that is when the anxiety mostly came. The xanax helped alot and calmed me and helped my sleep but i realized i couldn't go on like that forever so i eventaully stopped the xanax and am doing alot better at night.Health Question & Answer
If you're prescribed Xanax and your prescribing doctor indicates it is okay, then sure. Benzodiazepenes should not be used regularly for sleep, as they quickly stop being effective. If you are only occasionally suffering from difficulties falling asleep, it is safe to take some Benedryl or Advil/Tylenol PM. If this is a frequent thing, then contact your doctor to discuss your options.Health Question & Answer
I would say a strong NO,taking medication to help you sleep can be addictive. I sometimes have sleepless nights and what I do is have a few cups of tea, there are several different teas that help with sleeping.Try sleepy time or chamomile by Celestial Seasons,it works very well for me. good luckHealth Question & Answer
