    :( Hi,
    I'm not feeling so well and need to sleep for at least 8-12 hours. I have xanax, Ativan and Tylenol 3's (Also have Oxycodone 30mg but the last time I took half of of one and it made feel sick and I haven't touched them since about a year ago) Which out of these would be best to help me sleep? Ativan is my favorite, but I only have 4 left and I'm trying to save them for special occasions. Oh! I also have hydrocodone, but I've never felt much of anything with them. Any help is appreciated thank you :)

    Xanax will knock you out at higher doses 2mg+, but please be VERY careful. Anything above 5mgs could become very dangerous. Also any type of benzodiazepiene (xanax, ativan) can cause memory loss. Meaning that whatever you do during the duration of the dosing, there is a strong chance the following day it will be very hazy.

    Also codeine has been shown to actually cause sleeplessness.

    Of the pills you have, quite a nice concoction may I add, I would suggest maybe one or two T3's and maybe one ativan. Combining the two will mask the possible sleeplessness sometimes caused by codiene. Be careful, mixing opiates and benzos CAN be dangerous, but it seems like you know what you are doing.

    I would take the Ativan. It is not a very euphoric benzo, so using it for sleep would be alright. Opioids don't make me tired, just "different" feeling, so I hope it works for you. It usually doesn't for me, but I am scripted with 5mg of Zyprexa a night, which is one of the most powerful antipsychotic agents known to man.

    go for the ativan...xanax may make you black out/knock you out, but studies have shown that it really fucks with your ability to enter rem sleep.

    IME, ativan + melatonin [go buy some,it's cheap] would be the way to go
