Anyone Taken Ambien AND a Benzo for Sleep?

Posted by fachad on April 7, 2002, at 9:44:27

It seems like for me to get to sleep using a benzo I need really high doses. 30mg temazepam didn’t phase me, and 2mg Ativan does a little more, but not much. I guess I could try 4 mg Ativan, but that seems like a fairly high dose.
I'm now wondering if it would make more sense to take Ambien to initiate sleep, and a very small dose benzo(like 1mg Ativan) to maintain sleep.
Has anyone one done this successfully and with your pdoc's approval?
