Brief Answer:
No there is no need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Ambien is one of the safest medications and I do not think with double dose you need to worried. It may affect you for a period of 12 hours or less but never more. The most common side effect with double dose is excessive sleep and I do think this particular effect is worrisome.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
