What I have been told is not to combine Ambien with tranquilizers, such as Klonopin - you can stop breathing at night for real.

I find it irritating that the pdoc would not handle Ambien herself but defer to GP. By the way, it was my GP, not pdoc, who warned me about the potentially lethal benzo-Ambien interaction.
