Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

The recommended dose of ambien is 10mg once in a day.

However, if 10mg is not working for you, 20mg can be taken.

But please remember that higher the dose, more longer it will take to taper off.

Ambien is a safe drug. Doses more than 70mg can cause significant health issues.

Please keep your doctor informed about changes you make in your doses.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
Thanks.
