Question : How soon after taking Xanax can I take Ambien?
Brief Answer:
It’s safe to take after 3 hours.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Xanax is Alprazolam and is a short-acting drug. Ambien is Zolpidem. Some doctors even use both drugs together. Both are safe if used in prescribed doses.
If we go by pharmacological actions then Ambien can be taken even 3 hours after Xanax.
Thanks
