It is OK to keep taking your sleeping pills. Antibiotics will not cause a problem with that. It is Birth Control pills which interact with antibiotics. Remember to take all of your antibiotics, even after you feel better. You want to kill all the bacteria and not leave any hiding in your body!

Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together. Ambien won't modify the way the antibiotic works. If the antibiotic causes dizziness or drowsiness, Ambien might exacerbate those side effects. But most frequent antibiotics don't have those side effects.

Ask you Doc or pharmacist. I wouldn't , as many anti-biotics make people drowsy by themselves.

Can you take sleeping pills and birth control pills together?

Usually YES. Consult your pharmacist or OB/GYN to be safe, but I know of no commonly prescribed sleeping pills or birth control pills that interfere with each other. On the other hand, some people taking Ambien or similar sleeping pills have supposedly had sex or done other things such as sleepwalk or carry on a conversation after taking Ambien... and not remembered it. I'm not making this up. It is well-documented. So... take your birth control pill sometime BEFORE you take your sleeping pill. ;)

that would depend on what type of sleeping pill you are referring to. a supplement like valerian or melatonin taken in conjunction with hydrocodone is perfectly safe. however, prescription sleeping pills like Ambien, Lunesta, or benzodiazepines like Valium and Xanax should not be taken with opiates without consulting a doctor first.
