A member asked:
Took a decongestant that included 200 mg ibuprofen and 30 mg pseudoephedrine, can i also take my usual 10 mg ambien (zolpidem)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Ambien (zolpidem) doesn't cause restful sleep. You can wake up groggy and tired. If you're taking ibuprofen, you must have food in your stomach in order to prevent gastritis or a stomach ache. Also since you're taking pseudoephedrine, that could keep you up all night. That's only indicated for very short term use. So taking Ambien (zolpidem) would not help if you're also taking it all together.
