Can you die from taking 15 Ambien?

Answer 1

There are several situations in which Ambien may be fatal:

-The first is if you have an allergy to zolpidem, which is the main ingredient in Ambien, or if you have an allergy to any of the inert ingredients (which may include lactose). While not all allergic reactions are fatal, the fact that you may be asleep when they occur will impair your ability to receive treatment if you have an allergic reaction.

-The second situation is if you take too much Ambien. Remember to stick to your dose as given to you by your doctor. Overdose symptoms include:

Symptoms of a Ambien overdose may include sleepiness, confusion, shallow breathing, feeling light-headed, fainting, or coma.

-The third way to die while taking Ambien is if you happen to be one of the people who engages in activities while under the influence of the drug. Driving, eating, and even having sex have been recorded in patients who have taken Ambien. Engaging in an activity when you are not fully aware of your surroundings can be dangerous. For example, driving a car while under what amounts to medicinal hypnosis may result in a car accident.
