Brief Answer:
no serious drug interactions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

Ambien is zolpidem and Lunesta is eszopiclone.

Both belong to same category of drugs.

There is no risk of serious drug interaction between the two drugs except excessive sedation.

Just take rest for some time. Avoid heavy machinery work, swimming, driving for now.

Hope this helps.
