My doctor put me on 1 mg klonopin plus 10 mg ambien for insomnia and anxiety to be taken together. i feel awful when i take together and doesn't really work that great? wouldn't it be better to just increase the ambien and stop the klonopin ?

Bad combo: Combining these medications should be avoided, since they are both sedatives/hypnotics. Also, long-term use of amben is not recommended. It would actually be better to treat your underlying anxiety to try and resolve your sleep issues, since long-term ambien (zolpidem) use leads to rebound insomnia and addiction.

Medical advice: This is a question that really needs to go to your prescribing medical provider. You are taking a sedative/ hypnotics & a benzodiazapine. These are big guns and a doctor who doesn't know you shouldn't be directing how you should take them. Would discuss with your provider. Take care.
