Brief Answer:
I will advise the patient to see a doctor at the earliest.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic,

That is a very high dose that has been taken. Normal dose of Zolpidem is only 10 mg.

I'd advise the patient to see a doctor at the earliest.

High dose can lead to severe sedation, impaired thinking, hallucinations and even coma.
No driving.
No alcohol.
No other medications.
Do not sleep.
Do not take any other medication.
Drink lots of water and seek immediate medical attention.
