A member asked:

My doctor prescribed mirapex for restless leg syndrome - is this safe to take with ambien (zolpidem)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Mirapex and Ambien (zolpidem) are both psychomotor depressants. When taken together, they can have additive psychomotor depression effects. Best to see your doctor for an alternative combination.
