Ambien oftentimes only lasts for about 4 hours no matter what dose you take. But you can take another Ambien at 3 am as long as you don't have to wake up for another 4 or 5 hours. Why don't you try 5 mg at 11 pm and then another 5 mg at 4 or whenever you wake up? A lot of people fall asleep on just 5 mg.
> Hello i have a question. I have 10mg of ambien perscibed to me as well as .5mg of xanax a day. My problem is, at 11pm , i take 10mg of ambien. at 3or 4 am , i wake up and cannot get back to sleep. Question is, could i take the .5mg of xanax with 5mg of ambien to get back to sleep? I also figure if i take the .5mg of xanax at night, half way through the next day i need another one. I feel better when i take the xanax when i wake up so it lasts through the day/.
