No: diamox (acetazolamide) is a diuretic "water pill" hence eliminating sodium along with water that accumulates in your body.Initially you will eliminate surplus of retain fluid the first 3-5 days then you'll taper off will amount of voidig ,so don't use sleeping pill .No need if taken in day preferably early in day and i think you'll not be awakenat night and also not get into a bad habit of taking sleeping pills.

A quick check on: a couple of drug interaction websites shows that there are no reported interactions with these two drugs, but each can have their own reactions. I have know a couple people who had hallucinations with ambien, (zolpidem) but also know many people who take it well.
