Can one wake someone that has taken zolpidem. how fast a sleep are u after taking it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zolpidemy: You can certainly wake someone up anytime after taking zolpidem. The individual may not remember much for 6-8 hours after the medication starts working. It normally makes one sleepy 30-60 minutes after taking the pill.
