Specializes in General Practice

Ambien (zolpidem): The answer is absolutely not. One should never take a medication at a dose that is above safe levels. Many people who use Ambien (zolpidem) grow tolerant of it and it becomes less and less effective. Please get in to see your doctor to find another alternative.
