Zolpidem is normally taken as a 10mg dose to counteract insomnia. Fatal doses have been recorded with 100 times this amount found in the bloodstream. However a dose of 20 times the normal amount may be considered hazardous, especially where other intoxicants have been ingested. I used to know a middle-aged woman who died in her sleep about a year ago and she would take a 60mg dose of this drug routinely along with two or three bottles of wine "to help her sleep". She was a chronic alcoholic with severe memory problems as a result.
