Brief Answer: Considerations Detailed Answer: Hello thank you for sending the question. Thank you for sharing your healthcare concern. This is not likely life-threatening. I would make sure that you really hydrate yourself very well over the next 24 hours. You may feel excessively drowsy. I would avoid taking Ambien for the next couple of days and then start again at the normal dose prescribed by your doctor. This is something that can happen commonly with medications. Please continue to work on eating a very good well-balanced diet and try to exercise regularly as well to help maintain optimal health. Thanks again for sending your question. Dr. Galamaga
