no. barbiturates are like xanax, klonopin & valium... sleeping pills are not in the same category although a Dr may prescribe a barbiturate to help aod with your insomnia, sleeping troubles or whatever problems you are having. or the Dr may prescribe both a sleep aid & low dose of a barbiturate. but be very careful mixing ANYTHING like that without talking to your doctor first. some drugs do NOT mix well together & you may wanna get a good night's rest but you DON'T wanna over do it & end up sleeping forever. be careful & talk to you Dr before taking ANYTHING especially when combining different medications that are sedatives.

∙ 10y agoAmbien is a sedative/hypnotic drug chemically similar to benzodiazepines. It is not a bartiturate.
No, Ambien is a sedative/hypnotic that selectively binds to the BZ1 receptor in the brain, enhancing the effect of GABA. It is an "atypical benzodiazepine receptor ligand" even though it is advertised as a non-benzodiazepine.
