A member asked:
I'm taking ambien (zolpidem). will my doc prescribe a benzo to help with sleep as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully not: It is not recommended to mix more than one sleep agent together. Preferably, a doctor will look at the reasons for insomnia and address those rather than prescribe more pills. Often the issues are fixable with sleep hygiene.
