Dr. John Moranville answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Not recommended: The use of zolpidem with buprenorphine / naloxone could cause a dangerous drop in heart rate and breathing rate. In addition, the risk for impaired motor skills and behavioral changes may be increased. If possible avoid this combination.
