yes!
Yes. You could die if you take a whole bottle of ambien.
You will die man
You don't. Fooling around with medication can kill you, especially a tranquilizer like Ambien. You will stop breathing and die.

Z-type drugs like Ambien, Sonata & Lunesta and benzodiazepines like valium and Xanax are generally far safer in overdose (by themselves) compared to older sedatives like Seconal, chloral hydrate. When people die of an overdose of Ambien there are usually other drugs present. Case reports of Alcohol, Soma, valium as combinations. People have gone into a coma with as few as 20 10mg pills & died with 90-300 Ambien overdoses can be easily reversed with IV flumazenil.
Yes, as long as the ambien is not time released. I'm on 80 mg of methadone in the morning and take 10 mg Ambien everynight. I would not take them at the same time though since they both sedate.
Is it safe, yes.. But will it be effective? The answer is no. Prescription drugs have an expiration date because after that date is when the active compounds are determined to be ineffective. Just like food, after the EXp date, it just isn't good any more.
Z drugs like ambien should not be taken with a benzodiazepine as it can greatly increase sedation which can lead to side effects as dramatic as death due to upper-respitory failure (being unable to breath). There is really no need to take the two together, if the ambien you are being prescribed isn't getting you to sleep then consult your phsyician about increasing your dosages.
in order to die from it, you have to have blood toxicity, which is a LOT of pills. there are no recorded cases of ambien overdose as a cause of death. bear in mind- "everything in moderation" though.
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.(Disclaimer: I am not a physician.)
