It is possible to overdose on Ambien although an excessive amount would be required to do it. Most like what would occur is a person would become relatively incoherant for several days and suffer extensive short term memory loss. There have been reported deaths from Ambien overdose. But a person generally can't (or at least shouldn't be able to) get enough at one time from their doctor to have that happen.
I am with Buffet in hoping you're asking just because you want some general knowledge about it and not for any other reason.
Peace,
