A member asked:

I need to be up early, i took 2 10mg sleeping pills(zolpidem), but can't sleep, should i take 1 more 10mg pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You have already taken too high a dose. Another pill has the potential to cause great harm to you or others especially if you plan to operate a motor vehicle in the morning.
