Oxy Hcl Er 10mg / Insomnia

Has anyone been told from their doctor, to take Oxy ER Time-release10MG, at bedtime as a sleeping aid?
For the last ten years, I've had a Neuroendocrine Carcinoid Metastatic Tumor Cancer, and lately having anxiety-panic attacks, with my rare cancer, I can not have any anti-anxiety meds, it floods me with excessive serotonin levels.
I also have diabetes, (getting up a few times,waking me, having a hard time going back to sleep!) Pseudo-gout, Diverticulosis, and at 62, Osteoarthritis in neck/shoulder. I can not use Ambien 5 MG. it doesn't work for me, and usually slept less than 3 or 4 hrs on it anyway. (10mg)
I also drink cozy chamomile tea about 45 minutes before I think I'm
tired enough to sleep, but end up just lying there, (or run to the bathroom, because tea is a diuretic. DOH!)....
...long enough to end up getting back up, turn on lights, TV, and start CLEANING!!!
I bought some Zzzzquil to help me sleep, and hope It works!

Hello, Jim! How are you? I am very sorry about your various health issues.

Oxycodone can cause drowsiness and dizziness as side effects, according to the FDA, along with nausea, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

In cases, such as yours, doctors may prescribe it to be used for sleep and rest, because if you don't sleep enough, your health is going to deteriorate further, especially given all the other options that you can't take.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
