@dordle It's be necessary to adjust your medication schedule if you worked the night shift. Whatever you're taking, if it causes you to get drowsy, you shouldn't be driving.

It is important to talk about the risks of combining medications and changing schedules, particularly for people who work night shifts. It serves as a reminder that before making any changes [This content has been moderated by an administrator]

Hi. Thx for starting conversation about meds & when to mix or not. I answered, yet not on right thread. Never mix meds & alcohol!! Plus OTC meds like Tylenol, can do more harm than good on our liver. Just be careful!! Following doc's orders can save lives. Enjoy rest of week ahead.

And on that note, switching your sleep schedule can definitely be a medication juggling act. When I first started working nights, I totally messed up my whole allergy med routine. Big mistake! Ended up with a super stuffy nose in the middle of the night, which isn't exactly ideal. If you can, talk to your doctor about adjusting your meds or dosages for a wonky sleep schedule.

Finally, the drowsiness thing is no joke. If a medication makes you woozy, don't even think about getting behind the wheel. It's just not worth the risk. There's always Uber or a safe ride from a friend.

Hello. Mixing meds Can be deadly. Some just can't be taken together. Regardless if working days or nights, medications have to be consumed as prescribed. Even wrong dosage can be catastrophic. My 2 cents
