Brief Answer:
Not necessarily

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Quetiapine can also cause sedation. If she is taking it at night and without taking Zolpidem she can sleep well, she can avoid Zolpidem.

However if she is not getting enough sleep without Zolpidem she can take it with quetiapine.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr Chintan Solanki.
