A member asked:

Should ambien (zolpidem) and zoloft be prescribed together?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Med interaction: Ambien (zolpidem) interaction with Zoloft can increase dizziness and difficulty concentrating. Melotonin may be worth a try and has no reported interaction with Zoloft. Discuss with prescribing doctor. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
